Garden Letter

       
   

                           July 5, 2014
Dear Friends,
As I sit here this evening in my "Happy Room" which is the name given this room, by a good friend, I am looking out the window to my little cottage garden.  A gentle rain is nourishing and bathing the garden and the wrens are sleeping in the cozy bird house, after a hectic day of filling the mouths of their young.
As the garden is fed by the rain, we are able to be nourished by His Word.  The seed needs to be broken when life emerges, and that life breaks the earth to burst into bloom.  His Great Love can be like the rain to bring something beautiful out of the broken earthen vessels of our lives.
Isaiah 61: 11 says, "For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before  all the nations."
