Treasured Possessions! Simply Neutrals Tuesday No. 38

Very often we just don't stop to think how our lives

would feel and could change if we lost everything 

we owned in a matter of just 2-3 hours!

This has been the case of so many families,

in fact 69 homes within 30 k of where I live, 

over the weekend when a horrendous bush fire

in searing heat and high winds

erased the possessions of these poor poor people!

As Summer is closing here on the far south coast of Australia

(akin to say perhaps Southern California in the U.S.)

there was one last day of very high temperatures

threatening to ravage so much native bushland

and many homes so close to the beach!

Thank goodness many of these people were able to flee

to the beach to escape and, in all of this,

not one one life was lost!

A fire also broke out 

 in native bush land no more than

1/2 kilometre away from where we also live 

but

thankfully the Rural Fire Service

managed to contain it as we were preparing our

escape plan!

With global warming I genuinely fear this scenario

will be one we will be witnessing more of

in the future!

We can never become too complacent with what nature

dishes out!

I can count myself one of the blessed and lucky ones

who can still hold and appreciate my treasures

such as the ones above which have come

into my life over the past couple of months

from some of my dear blogging friends -

thank you so much for being there!

So blessed are we to be amongst some of the more fortunate

ones - this time!
