  • Come back Often!

    Come back Often!

    I am in the outer garden taking time to breathe and prepare myself. I have asked the Master Gardener to meet with me in the Center of My Garden. I realized I need to let go and be stiller inside, so the Holy Spirit is helping me. I could come to him just as I am, I would just have a hard time receiving, so I take pause. I let go of my agenda and will for my day. I release all anxiety. I then enter: “Good morning my King!” He smiles, “Good morning! It is a beautiful day!” “Yes Lord it is!” “Come away with me and when you leave this place today, come back often. You will need it today.” “Yes Lord!” And I focus on Him.

    It has only been a few hours since my encounter and I am glad to have remembered the instructions I received earlier. He knew how the day would go and the needs I would have. What a wonderful reminder!

    Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control. Against such there is no law.

    The above scripture is a good reminder and wisdom not just for us to follow after, but it is a good indicator of fruit in those around us. Often times we can be controlled through compliance with scripture like this, but is the one controlling abiding by these toward us? Yes we should abide in these, but open our eyes to truth so we do not stay believing and perpetuating disfunction and abuse. My eyes are opening and I want to be a better fruit inspector. How about you?

  • Fruit!

    Fruit!

    I walked by a tree and took of it’s fruit. And I see grapes growing on the vine. I take a bite of my apple and taste the sweetness. “Lord, there is fruit here!” “Yes daughter, it is good fruit!” “Yes Lord, shall I lay a table before you with honey and fruit?” “Yes let us enjoy!” And I get to work to serve the Master Gardener, who is always serving me and others.

    Exodus 13:21 And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night.

  • We are Off!

    We are Off!

    I have just asked the Master Gardener to meet me in the center of My Garden. “It is a lovely bright day Lord!” “Yes it is!” What will todays events entail?” I must say that before I could ask this, I had looked up to see him wearing a fisherman’s yellow rain hat and slicker! Ha ha ha, this made us laugh and smile!” “Lord you bring joy!” “Yes!” It is then I realize there will be rain, there will be joy and adventure! I am putting on my pink slicker and hat to match! “I am ready Lord! Let’s go!,” and we are off!

    Perhaps there are “fish” to catch and bring in. That is one of the important fruits to be gathered in that is chief in the Master Gardeners mind!
