SPIRITUAL LESSONS LEARNED IN THE GARDEN

It occurs to me  that life beginning in a garden was no accident. Whether allegorical or literal, the story is one of deliberate creativity-of intentional planning.  That man came from the earth causes me to smile-my husband and son being formed from "dirt"...... It also causes me pause-to wonder silently, and reverently before my creator.

The man and woman were given everything in their garden, save one tree. They were lavished with fruit to eat, aromas to savor and beauty to behold. They also  were given responsibility-to care for their home, to nurture, to feed and to enjoy what lay before them. And the Lord walked with them there.

The significance of this last thought has comforted me during many a lonely time--and as I walked in my garden, I beckoned Him walk with me too.  And He has.
