I've just witnessed a modern miracle of nature. An old De Beers diamond mine that is currently being re-mined, has some time in the last 20 years become a natural bird sactuary.
Official mechanical mining of the diamond pipe ended in 1990. Some how since then a marsh has formed and thus the bird sanctuary developed. More importantly it has become the Southern Hemisphere home to millions of European swallows. Millions you say? I mean ...... MILLIONS!
Never before have I experienced something like the sight of thousands of swallows swarming in over your head at the same time. The entire spectacle lasted about an hour and then just as fast as it started, swooosh they dove into the reeds and were gone!
So what can I add to this? NOTHING! There just is no way I can top being witness to the amazing power of nature to heal itself! Our God created an amazing planet that is capable of healing itself if given the chance. Our God is Great!
