It is easy when things are going well to take ordinary everyday experiences for granted. In recent weeks we have been reminded of how much we value the opportunity to be able to go to school, engage in competitive sport, participate in performance groups, gather as community and even breathe free of a mask. On a larger scale there are freedoms that we experience from being part of the Australian society that enrich our lives greatly. This has been in sharp contrast to the images of desperation that we have seen emerge from Afghanistan this week.

Beginning and ending each day being grateful for the many ordinary and yet extraordinary gifts God has given us through our families, our community and country helps to keep things in perspective. We pray for the people around the world who are suffering including those in Afghanistan and that we might find ways to support those in need.
