Lion's Park: The Beauty of it all, God's Creation


Victoria Falls


"He has made everything beautiful in its time."
-Ecclesiastes 3:11


Lion's Park in Botswana

One of the most enjoyable days thus far, spent at Lion's Park, an amusement-water park here in Botswana. Fun to see, kids splashing, holding on to their parent's hands, walking around on the hot pavement. The joyful cries of young and old as they play in the cool waters. The laughter, the happiness experienced by those involved in the park activities.Beautiful to see indeed, even more delightful to realize the goodness of the Lord, and how He's given us His original creations to enjoy from the ocean waters to water in an amusement park pool; from the sunshine, to the cool breezes on hot summer days. Being here reminds me that, it doesn't matter where we are on earth; whether, in southern Africa experiencing the beauty of massive game reserves habitated by animals only seen in pictures, or the beauty of the Grand Canyon in north America. I'm constantly reminded that He is always with us, its so evident through His creation. I can't help but wonder the beauty we will see once we arrive at Victoria Falls next week, which is known as one of the seven "wonders" of the world. Perhaps considered a wonder because of its indescribable beauty, something that the hands of man did not carve; instead it was created by the Master Designer, God. "Oh how Great is our God!"

Question: You ever hear the saying you should "stop to smell the roses?" Well I encourage you to stop and enjoy the Majesty of God through His BEAUTIFUL creation...you'll be glad you did it!
