Gardens, are outdoor growing rooms, which demonstrate that the Lord wants us to flourish. They are His invitation to draw near and meditate.

In the shade of this stately oak, I laid a few things down with my Father. He met me here. He will meet you in such places also.

Have you called out to Jesus lately? Have you brought Him your cares, as well as your offering of praise? Have you shown His love, today?

This pic looks like you can walk out to the sea. In reality, if you kept walking, you would have fallen off a cliff. That's why we need God!

God's love and Spirit baptize our souls, to let us know that He is near. Thus, we can praise, even when waves hit us.

Pausing can teach us the lessons of God's faithfulness, care, protection, and presence.

This daylily has been caught in an overnight shower. It reminded me that though we are imperfect, Jesus died, to bathe us in His grace.

Come and see in the garden, became a visible reminder, that God wants us to know Him, personally, intimately. Draw near to Him, today.

One spot of radiance, swept upward to create these softly flowing rays. The heart that holds Jesus, purely shines, with His reign.

This deer appeared to peek at us through the leaves. She displayed curiosity. This is a trait that can actually draw us into faith in Jesus.

Perspective makes all the difference--to what we see, how we view life. This eagle had quite the perch, but God cares about every detail.

This scene, just seemed to echo with praise unto the Lord. It inspired the same within my heart. Come read why.
