“For you shall go out in joy and be led
back in peace.”
This time of year, Jim and I spend much of our time in our
garden, sometimes working to turn over the soil, or plant seeds or small plants,
potatoes and onions, and, unfortunately,
start weeding. However, we are already harvesting asparagus,
which is delicious and wonderful to have in our two beds.
But the best part is to sit on our patio and just enjoy
looking at all that is growing. It is
then that we can feel totally at peace. Gazing at the daffodils, which are almost over, and the tulips,
hyacinths and the flowering trees like red bud, Bradford pear, flowering crab
apple and others brings such joy and peace.
Though there is so much happening in the world that can create negative
thoughts, enjoying nature can restore our joy.
“Keep Love Growing” by Keri Joy Walker
Keep love growing, cultivate with care. Add a little tenderness and plenty of fresh air.
Keep life simple, you reap just what you sow, so spread those seeds of love and watch them grow.
Keep love growing, it isn’t hard to do. Just remove those weeds of fear and watch the love shine through.
Stay lighthearted, you reap just what you sow, so spread those seeds of love and watch them grow.
Prayer: Thank you, Lord for the beautiful earth you have created for us. Let us take time to “stop and smell the roses” and rejuvenate ourselves with the joy and peace that surrounds us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
