MEN'S FELLOWSHIP DAY OUT TO KAVERI RIVER

NEW DAY ...NEW CHALLENGE!














Morning broke o'er distant hills,
Mountains were ablaze;
Down the pathway of my day
Spreading rosy rays!

All night shadows fled away,
Yesterday was gone;
Faced with challenge, there I stood
Welcoming the dawn.

One new day still petal-fresh,
One new day to dare;
One new day to laugh and lift,
To love, to work, to share.

When morn broke o'er distant hills
Chasing night away,
I met challenge face to face
At the break of day!  

Men's fellowship from our Church went for a
day out. It was to Kaveri river bank. We men
need it so much. We really enjoyed every bit of it.

Now we want to take our families also...soon let's
do it. Personaly it was a treat to me, and I needed
it so badly. I was convenced that we all need to
take time off to go and spend some quality time
with our family too. After spending such a wonderful
time at the river bank, coming back to the poluted
Bangalore city is boring.

I enjoyed taking some beautiful pictures, take a look
It only reminded one more time about the creator
GOD and the beauty he a keeps adding in the nature
one season after another. Take a look and enjoy.














Some of the men sat on the roof top of our van
to get a better view.

 

 

Ebey's big dream getting fulfilled...
He wanted to have abig bathtub at home,
it did'nt workout he was so determent that
he must take bath only in Kaveri water...
it will cost so much to fill the tub.
He created a bright plan...on a Sunday
morning he announced that all the men are
going for a day out. Later we came to know
the trip was to Kaveri... after we reached to
Kaveri the truth came out...it was his plan to
take a big dip in the river. Thank you Ebey
taking us also along with you...We too enjoyed,
may not be as much as you did in the river.

















Immu, was our raft supervisor...Kept a count on
every one who went into the river, kept all the crocks
away till the men finished their dip and reached
all of us back to the guest house safely....!Thanks Immu.  

 
 
 
  

On our way back from Kaveri, we stopped at our
friend Mr. Francies who has a home for orphen
children. A beautiful and unique center, with
lots of cows, dogs and cats. Look at these cats
how beautiful they are.



 

At Kaveri we were surrounded by these monkeys.
While we were cooking, one of the monkey took
one kilo packet of rice and feasted on it.














Love your neighbor as theyself...!
Oh...sorry, this is not his neighbor,
his wife. (better watch out)















If you say "I love you" it is not enough...Show it!
Brother Josiah Ralte from out church
taught us "The Roles and Responsibility
of the Husband / Father". After we finished our
discussion, I truned back to see the
demonstration...Well let's go home and do
likewise.
 

These are the less notice flowers at the Kaveri riverBank.


 

 

KAVERI River: This is the river supplies our
drinking water for entire Bangalore city.
We thank God for such a beautiful and large
river. Few men from our chuch want a swem accross
this river, someone discouraged not to do that.
Good that they took the advise in a possitive manner.
As we were about to leave, one of the men spotted
a large Crocodale. . .! I wish I had a zoom lence
to capture that Crocodale. Next time!



 

Wednesday our Church (Banaswadi Bible Church)
men's fellowship had arranged a day out.
We chose to go and stay over night at Kavari
river bank a place called 'Muthathi'.
Most beautyful place. 12:30 in the night we
reached the spot, pitch dark, except the big
sound of river flowing we could see nothing.
The organizers have made all the arrangements.
They had marinated beef and mutton for
barbeque. You wont believe, after we arrived
past mid night, we began the barbeque, had a
wonderful time of fellowship. By the time we went
to sleep it was 3:00 am. When I wokeup in the morning,
the sun light through the hills and reflecting on the
river and the
tall trees and the
light penetrating
through the green
leaves and the shadow
created on the tree
trunks was breath
taking.

Take a look at those
beautiful pictures, this
is what I call God's
Art work.

















THE LAW OF LIFE
The tree that never had to fight
For the sun and sky and air and light,
That stood out in the open plain
and always got its share of rain,
Never became a forest king,
But lived and died a scrubby thing.

The man who never had to toil,
Who never had to win his share
Of sun and sky, and light and air,
Never became a manly man,
But lived and died as he began.

Good timber does not grow in ease;
The stronger wind, the tougher trees,
The farther sky, the greater length;
The more the storm, the more the strength;
By sun and cold, by rain and snows,
In trees or man, good timber grows.

When thickest stands the forest growth,
We find the patriarch of both,
And they hold converse with the stars
Whose broken branches show the scars
Of many winds and much of strife. . .
This is the common law of life.
