A Gardener's Prayer If you see me in my garden Digging the beds for my sweet peas, Perhaps you think my mind's empty, Concerned only with aching knees. If truth be told I'm composing A poem in honor of my Lord Who two thousand years ago, Came to this earth to bring the word Of God's own encompassing love, Sent with His Son on Christmas Eve. A tiny Babe to bring the news Of our reward, if we believe. It's easy for a gardener To pray, she's often on her knees, Planting her seeds of thankfulness, Singing His praise, her Lord to please.

  (smiles) Yes, yes, it is so much more than just the fruits and vegetables in gardening but also knowing that faith grows in every heartbeat and His love will always rise and ours will as well every time we ask for His consolence! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, you are a true gardener of grace, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Joyce, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Joyce, from one gardener to another, this is just perfect. I have always maintained that there's no better place to be than in a garden worshiping our Lord. This is definitely a keeper. Hugs, Marti "Even if life is full of thorns, |

I am an avid gardner too, Joyce, and this poem is so full of faith and written with the hand that has a green thumb!! I write some of my best poems in the garden, because there I feel His presence so fully!!Love, Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |
