In The Garden

 
 
 
I am in my garden today
even 
though it is windy and cold.
Today 
 I needed to mend my heart
that
has been feeling sad about twenty little ones
as
 I bowed my head to plant
I prayed
as
I weeded
I wept
as
I harvested 
I found a peace that passed all my understanding.
 
Philippians 4:7

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

    I guess God's garden is planted now with 2O bright and beautiful new little flowers. I don't understand the reason why but I guess we will never know this side of Heaven. Beautiful writing, Dottie- xo Diana

    You are a poet of such depth and beauty! You express the sadness well. And the peace. And you are still harvesting?

    Playing in god's garden is a beautiful way to help heal your heart. Collectively, our whole nation is grieving. Hold tight to the promise is the bible verse. I know I do.
