Driving Home from Church...

"Look girls, you must look!!"

This was said by a woman from our team, Josefina, who came with us in the car this morning to church. She is a woman who truly delights in God's creation and comments on it about every other sentence. Her love for God seems grows and grows when she is able to delight in His creation.
To hear her speak about what was outside of our car windows was a bringing alive of God's word where He speaks of His creation so often.
A few times I think I swerved the car, in the wrong direction - whoops!, in order to see where she was pointing her finger at! When she yelled in excitement "Look girls, you must look" (said to my good friend, Helena, and I) it was over a small tree on a hill that was just beginning to bloom. There are many, many of these trees on the way home from church but Josefina seems to see each one as an individual creation...which, they are. Her same delight and softness of heart carries with her also as she spends each day holding the abandoned little ones in the local hospital.
Watching how God shines through her is like being in school again...learning, learning, learning.
She's in her late 60's and I pray that as I work my way up to the "later half" of life that I will be as active about Jesus as she is!
