Hope: Psalm 25:4

Lord my hope is in you all day long.

The trillium plant with its leaves in groups of three reminds me of the Holy Trinity. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father who created us and loves us, the Son died for us to redeem us, and the Holy Spirit who dwells in us as our helper and guide.

View from the Garden Swing: 1Thessalonians 5:14 (Patient)

Be patient with everyone. 1 Thessalonians 5:14

A short powerful sentence and a difficult task. I do consider myself to be patient and kind. However, in day to day life, it doesn’t seem to take long for my patience to be depleted. Today I will work on being patient, considerate, and slowing down my schedule to take time to enjoy the view from the garden swing.

A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust. – Gertrude Jekyll
