Weather wise.
Rain. Lots of steady rain. I can but pray it continues, and hope that as well as filling up our dams in Sydney, the rain is bucketing down out west where they desperately need it.
O GOD our heavenly Father, who by thy gracious providence dost cause the former and the latter rain to descend upon the earth, that it may bring forth fruit for the use of man; We give thee humble thanks that it hath pleased thee, in our great necessity, to send us at the last a joyful rain upon thine inheritance, and to refresh it when it was dry, to the great comfort of us thy unworthy servants, and to the glory of thy holy Name; through thy mercies in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Thanksgiving for Rain, Book of Common Prayer
