God’s Presence

by Ed Gamber

Saturday June 28: after 3 full days of painting, building shelves, clearing brush, trimming trees and helping with VBS we enjoyed a day of rest. The day began with several beautiful rainbows as brief showers passed over the harbor outside the hotel. 

The entire group went snorkeling in the morning. Despite the occasional rain shower we had a great time swimming among the colorful fish of the Caribbean! In the afternoon we returned to the hotel for naps, more swimming and some exploration of the local area. 

I have felt the presence of God in many ways these past few days.  Our work at the school, worship and reflection time, eating meals together, morning walks and playing music and singing. But most of all the goodness and love of God is in the joy and enthusiasm of the children we serve at VBS.
