Last Hooray - Baboons!

The phone rang Sunday morning as I was getting ready to pack . . . quick, get in the car and drive over a few streets - the baboons are in the neighborhood! So, still in my pajamas - a few of us jumped in the car and headed over in search of the baboons - we really didn't have to search . . . as we turned the corner a whole troop was rummaging through the garbage and jumping on the rooftops. It was a fun way to bring some closure to my 3 weeks here in South Africa!

The little guy on the right was a little afraid to get in

 the Alpha Male baboon's territory! 

There were a few mother's with their babies! 

It was amazing to see them jumping on the rooftops and climbing the walls! 

We decided that this troop was definitely in need of some lotion for their bottoms, they all looked infected ! 

Feed My Sheep!

This morning as I was preparing a meal for the crafters from African Hope Crafts, I was reminded of the words Jesus spoke to Peter . . . 'if you love me, feed my sheep". My desire today was to feed both physically and spiritually these precious people. Myself and a friend, made cards for each crafter with their name and a Bible verse. I so want them to know they are loved and cared for by the God of the universe! As we held hands to pray, I couldn't help but think of how many times Jesus simply shared a meal with someone or with a group. Living life, eating food, laughing together . . . it all expresses the relational, interactive life of God. Today it was a privilege to feed His sheep and in so doing expressing my love to Jesus by expressing His love to them.
