Palm tree, Maui, Hawaii

This palm tree is along the way on the The Road to Hana, on the island of Maui, in Hawaii. We visited Maui in March of 2007. "The Road to Hana" is a spectacular road trip.

Thank You for our Daily Bread

This is the banana bread box at the Nihiku Rain Jungle Boutique on the island of Maui. If you click on the photo to enlarge, you will be able to read the prayer, "By his hands we are fed, thank you for our daily bread." I remember saying this prayer as a class at school before lunch.

We stopped here on "The Road to Hana" when we were in Maui. We enjoyed excellent banana bread with whole slices of banana and just the right amount of Maui sugar. The bread was well worth the $3 we left under the lava rock. You can see that we left one slice of bread in the box for another passerby. You can click on the breadbox to get a close up view. Can you tell my mouth is watering for banana bread from Maui?

When I think of the beauiful places I have been privileged to visit, I think of this Bible verse:

But as it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. I Cor 2:9

Promise

This is one of the most amazing sights I have ever seen. Glen and I wintessed this rainbow on our trip to Maui in March of 2007, following our day trip, "The Road to Hana." Hana is the last undeveloped tropical rain forest on the island of Maui. We saw black sand, waves crashing on volcanic rocks, and the most beautiful waterfalls inaginable. It had just poured rain, and I had commented, "You know, I would really like to see a rainbow." I turned around, looked out the window, and witnessed this manifestation of God's handiwork. Every time I see a rainbow, I am reminded of God's faithfulness. "And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you end every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth." (Gen. 9:12-16)
