There is a walk I love to take... and that is through my
garden early in the morning mists...
This is a time when I reflect upon so many things... but it is
the time I almost can hear God whisper among the lilies that
bloom across the white lattice...
And it is the time when the birds begin their early morning
symphony...
And the wind echoes through the tall green pines... as they
grace the flower beds with pine straw... here is my garden in
the early morning mists...
And the garden visitors are many... a breathtaking red
cardinal perches on the bird bath in sheer majesty...
A gray squirrel scurries through the yard gathering pecans...
preparing for the long winter ahead...
And then there is the rabbit that we love to watch... and my
does he love the lettuce that grows close by...
Life changes us... day by day... but I find that it is here in
the garden where things make sense... where life takes on a
much slower pace... and the flowers are touched by the rain
that God sends upon this earth... and become all the more
beautiful...
Take time out of your busy life... and walk through a
garden... and see all the glories that God has given us...
watch a sunset... and remember that the same God that made
that glorious splendor... is in control...
Remember that you are loved far more than you can ever
imagine...
And know that just as surely as the sun is never late in
appearing... and the moon shines that you are purposed...to be
here... given a dream to achieve...
Take time to walk through a garden... catch a glimpse of dew
on a rose... take time to smell the gardenias... and to know
that life is precious...
Walk through a garden... it will make a difference if you let
it... and you will be changed and reminded that your dream can
come true...
And that you are special...
For He said, "Consider the lilies...they spin and toil not...
yet Solomon in all of his glory is not so arrayed as one of
these..."
So today consider the lilies... and walk through the garden...
