Garden
Our Bibles teach us that we live outside the Garden and that life is about trying to return to the Garden—or arriving in a better Garden.
So maybe—just maybe—when we work or sit or walk in our backyard gardens we are experiencing a little of what God intends for us to experience and are rehearsing for life in that Paradise that awaits us.
Remind us, O God,
that we never come to our garden alone—
that you are always there with us,
that the good earth that you have made is always there with us,
that all who care about and love your world are always there with us, and
that all who have enjoyed the land before us are always there with us.
Thank you for a small paradise that reminds us of the Paradise that is to come.
Amen.
