Wonderful Graham. I really appreciate it. More importantly, I know Jonah loves to hear from others.

I'll look for your future post. It really is terrible what people have to live with around the world. We have a lot of dire situations here at home too...some of which has recently been making headlines. Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your weekend.

What a precious little girl. I was looking behind the picture of the mother and her girl at their home. So simple. We're so blessed in America and so unthankful.

It's wonderful that you are involved in this mission of mercy. I am glad little Linet is doing so well. May the Lord bless you in your involvement in ministry to hurting people in Kenya.

Have a blessed Christmas.

Thank you everyone for your visit and comments as we wind down 2011.

Living on Less, you have hit the nail on the head. The people live very simply. They have basic needs which are often not met. Having visited them, I am humbled and understand how blessed I really am.

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
