Saturday Tour

It is nice to have a whole day off again, as we put in a long, but slow day last Sunday, and have been working hard all week. Today we drove up-country, as it is called,to a lovely lodge, for lunch, with 2 other couples. It had a beautiful view of the Pacific far below, where we could see water on either side of the isthmus, but it was not a very clear day. It was also a very refreshingly cooler day, but we were still fine without jackets or sweaters.

Then we went just a bit further to a Botanical Garden, and had a self-guided tour through it. It had such an amazing variety of flowers, trees, & plants, I'm sure there can't be too many others in the world that weren't there! Some were stunningly beautiful, such a display of God's creation! What must heaven be like?!! Can you see the chamelon?

Last night at dinner we had a delightful conversation with a few of the participants,who are so amazed that we oldtimers would give of our time and energy, to serve & care for them. They say that the example we all show them in this practical ministry, speaks volumes beyond what they are learning in classes. In Black society, whites don't clean up after Blacks, and in the Asian cultures, the old don't serve the young! What a wonderful example Jesus showed us! And here, they are seeing it put into practice! How wonderful that we all have different gifts to spread His Kingdom! I told them that my gift is not evangelizing, but that I can do the serving behind the scenes, to enable them to go out and evangelize! Praise God!
