This is one of my favorite pictures. There is something about it that encapsulates for me some of the beauty of Africa and when I see it I can actually recall the smells and the sounds of the Mara. It also brings to mind the words of Ecclesiastes 3 – “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” We have eternity set in our hearts. We know when we see something beautiful, or hear a beautiful peace of music, or offer up a fervent prayer that we are meant to be here, and yet this is not all there is. These glimpses are reminders of the perfection to come and the glory to be revealed.
