Beauty even in the dry season

At times living in a hot and sticky country , where the wind blows in sand from the Sahara and everything gets covered in a layer of dust, where the electricity supply is on and off and many suffer from lack of water, where the fridges defrost and all the food spoils, where it is noisy and dirty and your feet are always dirty......


It is a challenge to find nice things to look at and to restore your soul and lift your spirits...


But look at this....
God has provided me with beauty right outside my door....this tree which looked so dead a few weeks ago is full of bloom and the most amazing scent....and it attracts birds which sing outside my window in the morning..
A cool reminder of my Creator that even in the seemingly barren places there is glimses of his beauty....
