A garden is a place,
where we are closest
to God.
The simple beauty
of His handiwork,
blossoming at our feet.
The wonder
of His glorious creation!

Yet

There is one place
more beautiful still.

The human garden
He grows in our hearts.
Where the fertile soil,
is a surrendered soul.

Grace blossoms.
Love grows.

His favorite dwelling place.

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Ellie,
This is a most beautiful piece, bound up in beautiful truths which reflect the Glory and Goodness of God without(Nature) and God within(Heart and soul). I think you have hit this nail squarely on the head--
           God bless you,
               David

How beautifully painted.  I can tell you really know what you are writing about.

Observe the animals and they shall teach you the nature of life in man. Observe the earth and it shall reveal the nature of life in God.
