"Don't worry about anything; on the contrary, make your requests known to God by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving. Then God's shalom, passing all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with the Messiah Yeshua." Philippians 4:6-7 (CJB)

I've decided to do my first Show and Tell, today. I might not participate in it every week; Fridays are usually a busy day for me, for this is the day I prepare for the Sabbath. If I can get something together ahead of time, I will try participate often.
For my first post, I choose something that I grew up with, and is so dear to my heart. I Grew in Manaus the largest city/Capital in the Amazon region of Brazil.
The "Meeting of the Waters" on the Amazon River takes place near the heart of down town Manaus.The tributaries and the Amazon (Solimoes) River are two different colors -- the "white" water river, which are really muddy, and the "black" water river, which are filled with tannin and are clear like coffee. At any point where two of these rivers join, their density is so different that they will not mix for several miles. No where is this natural event more dramatic than near Manaus, where the Solimoes and the Rio Negro merge. The Amazon River is formed at the point where these two rivers join together.
"Meeting of the Waters" One of the most awe-inspiring sights in all of God's creation.I won't say too much, I will let the pictures speak for themselves.
This local boat is about 35 feet. The river at this point is about 6 miles wide. Up close, they don't mix. Incredible!
I wish i was in that boat right now You can see how immense the Amazon river is by this large ship in the very back of this photo.
If you would like to be part of Show and Tell, let Mary know, she will link you to her site.
Wow, This is the most amazing thing !!! I didn't know anything like this existed. Thanks for sharing . I am going to have to check out those links. I love learning more about other countries. I hope you keep sharing about Brazil. I don't think most people in N. America know much about Brazil.
Yes, I agree, amazing! Why didn't I know that? Oh, I went to public school. It looks like coffee and cream before they mix together. It won't be long before you will be able to go on a boat like that if you want. I'd like to see more pictures about Brasil.
Your Indiana Friend,

I have never seen such a thing! That is very interesting...one more thing that shows how big God is. I am interested-How do you prepare for the Sabbath?
Wow, that is sooo amazing! I thought the dark was just vegatation under the water. I'm smarter today because of you. lol Would love to see more stuff about Brazil as you prepare for your trip.
Shalom My Friend!
By the way, I love your new site. I have been gone for a while and had not seen it yet. Very Beautiful!!!
I am so happy you will be getting to go to Brazil. I have been praying for you. We serve an awesome God. I Praise and Exalt Him for being so good to you. I know how bad you wanted to go. I am now praying you will find the tickets at an awesome price and because I know we serve an awesome God who answers prayers, I will Praise Him now for those tickets.
Hi! Your photos of the Amazon are incredible! I never knew that the waters are so different. My father, an advid lover of geography will enjoy these photos.
Thanks for sharing! I'm looking forward to your next "Show and Tell."
Blessings, Karen
Oh, that's beautiful. I would love to go there sometime. I know you miss it, but I am so thankful that your dh went there and brought back a special gift with him. YOU! ;o)
Have you ever heard of a book called Paddle to the Amazon? It's the story of a Dad and two sons who set out from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada, go down the Red River, meet up with the Mississippi, paddle along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico and then enter a river in Colombia I think.. and paddle along the Orinoco river and get to the Amazon,... and then paddle all the way to the Delta. LOTS of adventure and peril along the way as you can well imagine.. but Dad and one son finished the trip and made it home again.
Now how's that for a living Geography book.. I should get it for my Geography-buff son.
This Blog is about my life and the different adventures that I experience being a wife, homeschooling mother, homemaker, friend, and daughter of the king of the Universe. I am a follower of Yeshua (Jesus' name in Hebrew) He was born a Jew and lived as a Jew on this earth. It's because of him, and his incredible love towards me, that my ashes were turned into beauty.
I'm a native of Brazil. I have been married to my DH, for 22 years. We met while he was there on a Mission's trip. We have one wonderful 13 years DD.
