Your ways are so wonderful, Lord.  To give us a day to worship you and rest in you is definitely what each of us need.  Thank you that Grace, Trey, Judy and Patti have an opportunity to worship with people from all over the world at the Arusha Community Church.  Then as they travel to Tarangire National Park for safari, be with them.  The wonder of your creation is awesome.  The stripes of the zebras are unique to each animal just like our fingerprints are all different, the long necks of the giraffe in order to reach the leaves they need to eat and the sensitive nerves in the trunk of the elephant.  It’s remarkable the details you’ve worked out in everything you created, God!  How can we keep from praising you for who you are and what you have created for our enjoyment?  Help me to open my eyes and see your hand in my surroundings.  It’s there, plain as day, so don’t let me overlook it.  I give you thanks and praise for your blessings in nature, Lord.  In Jesus’ name I pray.  Amen.

How great are your works, Lord, how profound your thoughts!  Psalm 92:5
