“WHO MAKES OUR COUNTRY A BETTER PLACE?” is the question and questions are there to be answered.

“Who makes our country a better place?”

And I will give you my answer.

The above question is on the flier I picked up today at the Kaitaia Post Office. The leaflet tells us all about “The 2016 New Zealander of the year awards.” “Honouring the Best of Us.”

Who and where are the people who “make a positive difference to the lives of others?”

Six categories are listed:

2016 New Zealander of the year. Young and Senior NZ of the year. NZ community of the year. NZ innovator of the year. NZ local hero of the year.

There are many people who make a positive difference in the lives of other people.

But the people who are really making New Zealand a better place  are the people who have their eyes fixed on heaven.
