Midweek Meditation: "The Garden"

A beautiful garden needs no invitation for wonder

"God could have put us on a beach, on a mountain, in a desert or in the ocean. But He chose to plant a garden especially for us. God is the original Gardener. Those of us who know the joys of a garden have a deep understanding of where we are meant to be. By bare-handedly working the earth and tending its fruits, we better know the Creator."

(Lois Trigg Chaplin)

"At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid." (John 19:41)
