I still call Australia Home.... Australia Day

January 26th, 2008.......Tomorrow...

Another year has come around, to be thankful, and grateful to God Almighty, that we live in such a great, and wonderful free nation. We often take so many things for granted nowadays. Did you ever think for a minute that we could live somewhere much much worse? Think of all of those poor souls that have to put up with violence on a daily basis, or the ones that have no food, no clean water.....the simple things, that we take for granted, are not so easily available to some people of the world.

I personally thank God that i live here.
That i am an Australian.

A country of great wealth, beauty... and most of all.... freedom.

So tomorrow, January the 26th,of all days... I thank God that i live in such a Great, and beautiful country :-)

For now, Australia is my Home...... and i am glad! So those Australians out there, be honoured and proud, but most of all take time to be thankful to God above who allows us to have such freedom... and to live in such a great country like this.

AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM

Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We've golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature's gifts,
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history's page let every stage,
Advance Australia Fair!

In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair!
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross,
We'll toil with heart and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours,
Renowned through all the lands;
For those who've come across the seas,
We've boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine to Advance Australia Fair!
In joyful strains then let us sing, Advance Australia Fair!
