The wonderful world of waterfalls

Living at a high altitude has it's advantages. One of my favorite things is the way the top of mountains are sprinkled with creek beds and waterfalls. Within walking distance of my house there are many waterfalls. Some are large gushing with water, and others very small, or thin with very little water traveling over the sides. Some of the people on the mountain use some of the waterfalls to wash there clothes, their dishes, and themselves whenever they need to. The water falls are Gods way of providing for their physical needs. They always know where they can find clean fresh water. They are also used for enjoyment for all the people on the mountain. I always enjoy a day when some of us go to the waterfalls. Normally a bunch of the kids on the ranch will go. We will hike all over the place until we come to the perfect one. Many times in one outing we will visit 3-4 different waterfalls. Every time I go thinking "oh, I've seen them all," and every time I'm proven wrong. Just this week I saw some of the most amazing waterfalls, I didn't even know were around. Like I said normally the kids will go along, but this week we had a teacher in service day, and only adults went. Before we get down to business the teachers always have a time of worship and prayer. God is who brought all of us teachers together and we have to remember to keep him at the center of our school. We all got in the car and went down the mountain a little and then hiked to some waterfalls. It was a sweet time to just come before God as teachers, in the mist of His glory. Running water has such a calming effect. I loved that we went outside to worship. It was a meaningful time for all of us, but it made it hard to get back in the school mode when we got back and had things to get done.
