WELCOME
TO
THE GARDEN

When I look all around me I see the beauty and wonders of Nature God has created...It touches my soul. He created all this for us, nature is just one of God's gifts to us.
When I walk outside my door and look at the beauty of my flower bed, I know that the plants and seeds that I planted and nourished are getting the same kind of nourishment that our souls get through our Love of God.....he feeds us and nourishes our Soul.
I see flowers and beauty which awes me; then I see the weeds. I water the plants and pull the weeds..the same way God gives us what we need to grow and removes what stunts our Spiritual Growth...we have to be open to His nourishment to bloom. I read the 23rd psalm and in my mind I see a beautiful valley with a rippling stream, the sun is shining and everything is shining and beautiful because Jesus is walking there beside me, He is restoring my Soul.
When I go to the ocean, my first thought is of Jesus parting the waters, I stand in awe and watch the waves come and go and in my minds eye I see Jesus above the waves looking down on me. the contentment I feel has no bounds. As far as I can see there are endless waves and sky..it reminds me of God's Love, endless and eternal.
When I go to the forests and look up through the towering trees, in the bright sunny sky Our Lord is there enjoying it with me. The majestic sequoia trees are breath-taking, they cast long shadows and one has to look far into the sky to see the tops, God is there too. The mountain tops are so high they look like they reach to Heaven, I see God there too. When I see rain and floods I'm reminded of Noah's Ark. Because of his perfect Faith he saved his people from 40 days and 40 nights of floods.
