Thank You Lord For The Gum Trees

(words and actions by Noelene Purdue, and Australian Guide Leader)

Thanks very much to Noelene Purdue, who e-mailed me this grace!

The sun and fresh breeze
The grass outside and the garden wide
The food upon our plate
The water in our cups
And the friendship that we share
