Christmas shopping in Tete, Mozambique!

Miraculously, these beautiful storm lillies break through within a few hours of the first storm of the season...... May we to, in the new year before us, where gifts, dreams and creativity has lain dormant beneath the dry crust of life's constant pressures and fears, burst forth... Bringing joy, encouragement and hope to the community God has chosen to place us in...... Blessings friends!

Yay! The rains have arrived bringing life to all.......

I just love the bark of this African star chestnut tree! A Tete Christmas tree, not needing any decorations to brighten it up......

Oh what memories eating these wild mushrooms evoke..... Longing for the gentler years whilst farming in the South East districts of Zimbabwe..... The start of the rains, Christmas, land preparation and friends and family get togethers....... Thank you for those years Lord, they were good......

This is how Tete is looking right now! Dry, dusty and arid! Pray the rain is on the way and the green transformation will start! Blessings and hope to all this glorious Saturday....
