The lone but worn tarred road right in the middle, provided a clear view of a town of opposites. The landscape, mirroring the twists and turns of life, showed an undulation between a hilly right and a valley to the left, coursing into switches, with an evenness here and a steepness there. But there was life in this valley, with a football match on lush green grass in a school, and electricity poles, and a lighted bulb. The air was fresh, environment clean, and decent houses lined up the well-paved and clean earth roads.

“And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority… who had the charge of all her treasure… Was returning, and sitting in his chariot.”  Acts 8:26-28 (King James Version)

There are some good things and lessons in the valley.

Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
