The itch to get away from it all can creep up on me at any unexpected time. And I think Fredrick has the same inclination; always happy for a chance to get off his motorbike for a while.
And so... we headed out again for a picnic on a cliff, this time including his son, Blessed Jason.
 |
| We gathered a few sticks for roasting hot dogs and marshmallows. Yummy, yummy! |
 |
| I'm always thankful for the roof of the banda, to keep the hot sun off of us! |
 |
| The Great Rift Valley is far, far down below us. |
 |
| William, the caretaker, was happy to see us again. |
 |
| View from the back side of Ngong Hills. It's always a stunning sight, no matter the angle! |
 |
| Another view looking out over the Great Rift Valley |
 |
| We are ready to bid William farewell and head back to the noise of Ngong town. |
 |
| Bouncing along the rough 'road', all three of us squeezed onto Fredrick's motorbike and headed home |
"I know in my head that usefulness isn’t what the Christian life is all about. God doesn’t need me, and I am not indispensable in the kingdom - none of us are. God delights in us, not because of anything we bring or do, but simply because we are his beloved children. Additionally, usefulness isn’t for us to measure; God often uses us in ways that we never see or know. This life is not about our glory - the impact we make on this world - but about God’s glory."
