Dion's random ramblings

The view from my window in Knysna - how could we possibly deny the creative power of God?

This is a picture take (on my iPhone) from the window of our room in
Knynsa. It is a perfect African summer's evening!

As I sit here the cares of my regular life seem a thousand miles
away! I now remember why sabbath is so necessary. Without it we can
become so focussed on what we do that we forget about the beauty of
God all around us.

I am grateful for the opportunity to take a holiday with my family - I
know that there are many who cannot afford it, and many who do not
have gracious friends like we do.

However, even if you cannot get away it is necessary to break into
your regular routine from time to time. The regular rhythm of life
must contain some rest, just as it must contain work and discipline.

This has been a good day. I am starting to feel Gid's re-creative
power at work in my mind and body.

  • Yes, there's certainly something special about this part of the world. My favourite spot is sitting on a particular rock, high up, overlooking the Valley Of Desolation , Graff Reinet. Now that is a place where I can actually "touch" my God as the eagles soar at eye level :)
    Have an awesome Family time!
    Love & blessings Janet
