23 June - The first morning In Malawi, Mabuya Camp

I received a gift today

Ephesians 2:8-9
I found it laying in the sand on the pathway to reception. The message said.
For by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, Lest any man should boast….
….and long ages ago he planned that we should spend these lives helping others.

So be it....

My first morning in Malawi I met Phatso (meaning Gift) at the pool. He's one of the gardeners and you'll get to chat to him early if you're up. It was cold this morning. Alan says the coldest day so far. Of course, it was the winter solstice and all my winter clothes are in Cape Town but I found some sun so I warmed up soon enough. Phatso was scrubbing and working up a sweat. He knows nothing about eating banana flowers. I’m finally shocked.


The gift
