The Best Photo of the Week


I am really touched with the photo of a Australian firefighter shows compassion by rescuing a koala and offer his share of water to the koala. It is one of the many scenes taken from the wildfires that swept through the southern Victoria state.

The koala was found in a burned-out forest near Mirboo North, east of Melbourne, Victoria's capital. Interestingly, koalas normally drink almost no water because they get almost all their fluids from the leaves they eat. I guess this koala is really thirsty especially having their home destroyed by the fire.

The Australian fires are just so heartbreaking. Many lives are lost and the damages are still not accounted for. Let's remember the Australians in our prayer especially those who are living in the state of Victoria. Pray that God will send rain to stop the wildfires from causing more damages.

A special note to David Tree (who is the firefighter in the picture above): You are great!!!! Thank you for taking care of this adorable creature. You have shown humanity at it's best. God Bless You.

Be Blessed.
