Finding God in the Garden
When ever I walk about my garden, I think about the following song. Especially when I'm tending to my rose bush. I've always wanted to grow roses, and so the fact that this rose bush has been doing so well makes me very happy.
I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses.
And He walks with me,
and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,None other has ever known.
He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing.
I’d stay in the garden with Him
Though the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go;
through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling.
A book that I want to buy and read is " Finding God in the Garden, planting, pruning, and the Plan of Happiness." By Brent and Wendy Top. The summary of the book says this: " What do weeds and bad habits have in common? Drawing spiritual parallels to the garden, authors Brent and Wendy Top share lessons they have learned about faith, hope, and repentance, trusting in the Lord's timetable, and many other gospel principles. All who appreciate beauty and wisdom will appreciate this inspirational and colorful book." Sound like a good book to me!
Unemployment World: Well my husband signed on with a auto company today and so the land of unemployment is losing him sooner than most. We feel so blessed that he had two offers and most likely he might actually have 3, but he has signed a deal and is now all nervous and excited about the new adventure that we are about to go on. So a lot of new starts coming soon. Keep praying for us that the transition for him will be smooth. I have another cool kind of story but will not tell until the deal is totally done.... Oh the suspense will you be able to wait??
Sorry about all the space below, I can't seem to get adding photo's and stuff quiet right and then I get all this space in the bottom. I need to find a book called "Blogging for dummies!" I will figure it out someday!
