A lion pride is an amazing sight. We started our day as the sun was rising going on a game drive through a national park here in Swazi. We were greeted by 3 female lions, a male and a cub. We spotted them first through super tall grass. Our driver sped around the field they were in and we arrived at their watering hole just in time to view them come to the water for a cool drink. We were awestruck! As we watched with our hearts beating super fast we observed the protective nature of the father. He lapped his water then came the closest to us making a rumbling sound that would make the hair on your arms stand on end. As I viewed the beauty of these animals and really appreciated the power each had I was speechless!

To think that our heavenly Father truly is the Lion of Judah and He cares for us even more than this father lion cares for his family. He protects us and is much more fierce than the greatest and most powerful animal known to men. Praise the Lord!

This afternoon we visited a wonderful care point and painted with the children. As I saw these children I thought about the cub this morning. The lions surrounded this little one providing every thing it needed. Oh how my heart hurt for the children at the care point many of whom have no parent to care for them. I praise the Lord that He knows them. He loves them. He knows they need adults like us to minister.

Please keep praying as we love like He does and see all that He has in store!
