A First

A First

On Saturday some of the children pointed to the sky and said to me,
"There is a rainbow around the sun." I had never seen such a thing.
Benedict says it is called a corona. It was so beautiful – a complete
rainbow circle. It is another example of the wonderful things we are
seeing and experiencing of God's creation here in Zambia.

There is another thing that is probably one of the most amazing things
I have experienced. At this time of year, a sign that the rains are
coming, there are little white moths all around. Then there are birds
that come that look something like swallows. We have had thousands
around our property. They swoop and dive and fly high and low to eat
the moths. You can stand in an open area and they are flying all
around you. You can hear their wings flapping. At the Baltimore
Aquarium you have fish swimming all around you. Here in Zambia you
have birds flying all around you. I love to go stand quietly and just
experience the wonder of it.

And to think that not even a sparrow falls, or one of these birds
falls, without the Father knowing it. How much more does He love us
and know what is going on with us!
