The Tender Mercies of the Lord...

I believe there are times when a Tender Mercy enters your life 

that cannot be explained by logic or reason.

  

It is a very personal and individualized blessing 

that does not occur randomly,

nor is it a coincidence.

The simpleness and sweetness of such a blessing will lift your heart

when words cannot express the solace we need or the joy we feel.

The tender mercies of the Lord are available to all of us.

The LORD is good to all 

and his Tender Mercies are over ALL his works.

Psalm 145:9

I have received such a blessing within my gardens
and it has indeed lifted my heart.

In my next post... I'll tell the story.




 

Rocky Mountain Solace to My Soul

I always find solace in quiet walks in the mountains.  

They speak to me of a divine creator. 

I will lift up my eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the Lord that made heaven and earth.
Psalm 121 


Surely John Muir must have understood this as well when he said:

"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
 The winds will blow their freshness into you,
and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop off you like falling leaves."
                           ~ John Muir

Our recent trip to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado 
brought this very peace to my soul.

I feel refreshed and comforted.

And now I think it's time to post again.


 I've tried many times in the past several weeks,
but my heart was too heavy to let the words flow.

Sunshine Reflected in a Sweet Buttercup

I've missed my gardening friends, 
your sweet comments are always cherished.
(I've peeked in on a few of you and you've brought smiles.)

Doesn't God Plant the Most Beautiful Blossoms?!

When a loved one passes from this life to the next, 
it takes a little time to heal the tenderness of the heart.

Walking through God's Gardens always brings solace to my soul.

Physical death is not the end, 

but rather, a step forward in our Heavenly Father’s plan... 

a time of indescribable joy for the person making the transition.

What sweet comfort this knowledge brings to my heart.
