Working in my garden gives me a profound feeling of inner peace. Here is the great mystery of life and growth. I am not in a hurry, nor is my garden. Everything is changing...little by little, day by day. When I visit my garden, I leave behind my cares, worries and anxieties. I find Jesus there, softly walking among the dew. I see Him in the flowers or in a little frog or perhaps a turtle. Gardens are really just like life itself... they have all sorts of things in them, you just have to look and find them. I meditate and soak up the sunshine and rain. I sing softly my favorite hymns or sometimes I just make up my own little tunes. After all, one is closer to God in a garden than anywhere else on earth! ~~~
