    "We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through." Oh yeah, thanks for the reminder. It's easy to forget for some reason, but no words ever carried more truth. Thanks for the great video!

      My father used to say this all the time when I was worried about something. Mel, we are just passing through here, do not sweat the small stuff. The saying still gets me through a rough time to this day.

    he got one wrong, "God Helps those who help themselves" that has been around since Adam wore short pants, what makes it Australian is the next sentence, i.e. God helps those who help themselves...and Australians ad....and Christ help those that can't (help themselves that is)
