Beauty and Rest

We have just returned to the Timothy Centre after a refreshing time away  (and some work at the agricultural show that Karl will talk about in another blog).  We spent two very relaxing days at a place called The Haven River Lodge right on the Nile River north of the town of Jinja.  It was a very welcome time of rest after several very busy weeks -- the beauty of the area was calming and restoring.

This was the breath-taking view from the window of our room.  It was great to fall asleep to the sound of the rapids!

We then spent a couple of days just outside of Jinja, where the agricultural show was held.  The place where we stayed had amazing  gardens displaying the beauty of many flowers and flowering bushes that flourish here in Uganda.
