Our apartment in Froson, Sweden had a terrific view. Most mornings we awoke to a postcard like view of fresh snow covering evergreen boughs. Our main window faced East, so we saw the morning sun. It moved from south to north with the season. We saw the main government building, the onion across the frozen lake.
Here, the view isn't so good, but could be a LOT worse. Here is what we see now:
Now, it's not Sweden, but it could be a lot worse. Here we are in the MAJOR city of Botswana, just a few hundred meters from the Uni, and we see trees and grass. Not bad. Few city apartments have such a pleasant view, I'm guessing.
As we sit with morning coffee, feeling the cool morning breezes, we see and hear birds calling all around. There is NO parking lot or busy street visible from our patio window/door.
G^d's creation trumps man's every time. G^d's plans trump my plans every time. G^d's gifts surpass our desires, every time (Eph.3:20, "Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us...)
When will I act on the truth of these observations?
