Vancouver Sky ~ Skywatch Friday, April 2, 2010

-
Here are some recent photos of the sky over Vancouver. It has been a cloudy and rainy Spring so far.


I captured these snapshots of the sun breaking through the clouds during a break in the rain as I was leaving the Emergency Room earlier this week. I was grateful that my tests showed nothing abnormal. I was very impressed with the hospital I went to. I've never been treated so well by all the staff from admission to discharge. That makes a short hospital stay all the more pleasant, doesn't it?

As I close this post, let me wish each of you and your respective families and loved ones,
a very blessed Easter weekend.
 


They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.

John 20:9 (NIV) 

Easter is a promise
God renews to us in each spring.
May the promise of Easter
fill your heart with peace and joy!
Happy Easter!

Terrific Silhouettes! I feel the trees look amazingly beautiful as silhouettes. Sometimes even more beautiful than their actual look!

@Kcalpesh, thank you for your wonderfully encouraging words. I too thought the silhouette was quite beautiful when I stopped to take a photo :-)

I hope your Easter was a blessed one.

So, it looks as if we were visiting the Emergency Department in our respective cities at about the same time and on the same day! What a coincidence.

I'm glad your experience was positive. Mine was a little iffy. The nurse forgot to turn on the IV for my fluids I needed, she gave me discharge papers that belonged to someone else!

@Katy, aw, I'm sorry to hear your experience was not a good one. I know the hospitals can be so terrible which is why I was so pleasantly surprised that I had a "good" time, lol. Surely God was looking after me that day.

Under a Cloudy Sky

After some glorious sunny days, it started to rain again as is the norm in our Winter on the West Coast of Canada.  It rained quite heavily on Monday.  These photos were snapped earlier this week during a break from the rain. It was nice to see the bird's nest among the bare tree branches and the bird flying against a patch of blue sky. Joining in with Skywatch Friday and Saturday's Critters this week. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Ni Wewe Bwana (It is You Lord)

This is a lovely gospel song sung in Swahili and has special meaning for me. It is special because on my first trip to Kenya a group of orphans encircled me and sang this lovely song. It really touched me. No one translated the song for me at that time.  Though I could not speak Swahili I knew it was a worship song unto God. I tried to track the song down for a long time.  Every time I would ask a Kenyan friend, no one would know which song I was trying to recollect. I only knew the words "Ni wewe bwana" and decided to search on YouTube when I couldn't get any of my friends to help me find the song.  Guess what,  I found it! (Update: It has already been some years since I found it and had a Tanzanian friend translate it for  me.) The version I'm sharing is the same song but this one on the video is sung to a slightly faster beat.  It is sung by well known (now deceased) Tanzanian Gospel singer, Fanuel Sedekia. This song gives me joy and lifts me u
