There is something beautiful about a garden (at least this is true for me). This is especially true when the garden is weed free and the plants are thriving. My flower gardens and my vegetable garden are in this state presently. There is hardly a day that goes by when I am not in each of the beds taking out any weeds which are appearing. The other key ingredient is keeping them watered. No one really sees this part of the upkeep. They simply see the beds.

I write this message because I thank God for the opportunity to garden. I am not a man who enjoys the hobbies of sports or vehicles. In fact, one of the things I enjoy a great deal about gardening is that I get to do it alone. All of the work I do is with people which I deeply love too. Gardening is peaceful and usually uninterrupted. I find God in this time.

Everyone needs their moment of pleasure and relaxation. This is mine. This is the place where God restores my soul. I thank Him for providing this home and place of refuge. God is so GOOD!
