The garden is fresh with aromas,
Of wildflowers mixed, and some loners
A perfect place to spend alone time
Respite from the world, somewhere to unwind.
The activities of your days, sometimes tend to weigh
Too much for one person to relate in a phrase
You need peace and quiet from the world around
And from the trials of life that get you down.
The butterflies flitting all over the place
Seeking refreshment from the blossoms in this space.
So share your alone time with nature each day
And be thankful that God sent them your way.
Take your favorite book and into it escape
As you read of far off lands and begin to relate
To beautiful mountains with valleys below
And the outline of majestic scenes to show.
Drift away with the nearest fluffy cloud
Touch the sky with strokes of love allow.
Your mind is at peace and contentment abides
In the depths of your heart solace arrives.
As you journey through time and space
You realize the gleam that covers your face
Your confidence becomes renewed
And you become able to feel brand new.
You know of course this is just an exercise
In letting your body and mind totally rely
On allowing yourself to become relaxed and free
From all that had earlier needed relief.
Be thankful for all that you possess
And in this garden space you are allowed rest
Comfort and peace are gentle on your mind
The cares of the universe no longer define.
God in His Infinite wisdom and grace
Has afforded you a way to escape
And come back with a renewed reality
That things are not as bad as they seem.

II Corinthians12: 9 ~ 10
And he said unto me, "My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect on weakness." Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then am I strong. |
