    Sitting on a Park Bench!

    As I walked in the garden today, I reached the place where the Master Gardener was and I was tickled. I saw him sitting on a park bench! There was a pathway in front of that bench. The Master Gardener said, ” I brought some flowers to plant around the bench and beside the pathway today.” I asked, “Lord is this place just for you and me, or will others come this way?” He replied, ” Let us plant these pansies and see. The sun is bright, cheery, and full of life today. Let’s get some sun!” “Yes Lord.” Is what I said as a smile was not just on my face but from my heart!

  • For Purpose!

    For Purpose!

    There is a lot to do in my garden this week. I want to sit and enjoy, but first the work must begin. Sowing seeds for a fall harvest today, this means i need to work the ground and ready my soil and I am seeking the help of the Master gardener to help me in this stage. I sometimes mistake weeds for plants and plants for weeds. There may be a few plants to keep and place in another part of the garden. I also have a lot of learning to do today. It is wonderful to be alive and to begin to be more intentional in my garden. Even the pain takes on new meaning and at the end of even today, I will be able to sit and reflect and enjoy some of the fruits of my labour! I am not labouring alone, I found this doesn’t work, Jesus is hear guiding and providing for me. I am in a season where maybe one or two others step into this garden, but I have areas now only for me and Him. It is becoming a larger part of my garden too, but I see now that this is by design and not to punish me or others, it is for purpose! I pray you ask and yield to the guiding and help of Jesus in your own life! He loves you and so do I!!!
