MARCH 2025 NEWSLETTER
Dear Friends
It’s official: summer is over! The Autumn Equinox on 21 March put its official stamp on the new season. Wild and winsome cosmos flowers have already transformed drab roadsides and ugly veld into a feast for the eye, and soon the process of leaf senescence will set the trees ablaze with glorious vibrant colours.
“If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don't you think He'll attend to you, take pride in you, do His best for you? What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving.” (Matthew 6:30-33 MSG)
Autumn Landscape
