“A Day” and then some…..

Today I so needed to happen upon this adorable cartoon.

Our pace today was incredibly challenging. A ton of logistical work in progress. Attempting to arrange time for each “in need” customer now that spring/summer is fully in swing. We are just now arriving home and it’s 6:01 pm. We had new appts to schedule, plant selection appointments to complete, plants to purchase and deliver, clients to call about their upcoming “maintenance service contracts” that begin on June 1, and making sure that every longer term client has been served for “spring tidy” prior to June 1. 

And we also visited a potential new customer today and it’s now a solid booking. Yes!

Our personal service gardening approach has blossomed and we wish to serve….but to serve you well. Our goal is still to keep what we do on a small enough scale, so that all of you feel you are being cared for. 

Many blessings are happening as we write. We could not be more pleased with how our gardening endeavors have unfolded this year. Without your needing us to tend your gardens, we would be unable to continue….. So thank you…..to all of you!  Thank you so much for everything.

And so it is in this context, that we appreciate the cartoon included above. Without my Lord and Saviors guidance, support and love I could not continue. I love what I’m doing, I care very much for each of you,  and I hope that you know that you are important to me. I trust that our small endeavors to take care of and serve you, are really helping you. We are here….. to serve everyone!

••••••••••

Thank you Jesus……for your love that fills all of us daily and gives us the conviction and fortitude to serve you well.  Jesus, you have made this all possible. We praise and thank you for your love and support.

• AMEN •

EASTER SUNDAY, April 9, 2023

“He Is Risen”

Easter Morning has come. Our Lord has risen. Gather with friends this morning and celebrate a quiet Communion. Bring together a few…… in His holy name, and celebrate that Christ has risen and dies no more.

“We must as a people keep rolling away the stones that keep our fellow neighbors, friends and family from coming out of their graves.”

After His resurrection, Jesus had breakfast again with his friends and he showed them how important the small ordinary things of life are. We are comforted to know that Jesus’ wounds are still visible in his risen body. And we know that our wounds are not taken away, but they become our witness to others that we all have great Hope in Jesus’ resurrection.

Read: Romans 6:3-8

Prayer

Oh My God, you are my light. I know that with you there is no more darkness. I pray that your light of hope will renew my desire to serve you and give me pure actions that include your love and mercy for all my friends, family and those I so dearly love. Let them see your light in me. I pray that you will let my light and my actions honor only you. I observe your resurrection day with my prayer’s and thanksgiving.

Lenten Study – Friday of the Fifth Week of Lent

MAKE YOUR LIFE A PRAYER

When you begin to prioritize prayer in your life you will notice that you are converting yourself more and more and in the prayer process, you begin to gain a more clear understanding of all human beings. Prayer is the pulse of our world. When you are praying you cannot help but pray for all the troubles our world is experiencing. And you must question them. This must bring you to an awakening….. that conversion is necessary for all of us in the entire human community. We must experience a turning around….a revolution, which can only lead to a renewal. Pray about this.

Read: Colossians: 3:8-11

Prayer

My glorious and forever loving God, grant me the grace to be counted as one of “your chosen.” Chosen and loved by you. I do pray, even though I have reoccurring sinful ways. Help-me Father to turn my life into an ongoing prayer. For I wish to smooth my way….. and the way of others and the whole human community. I seek true personal transformation, that my conversion will spill over and inspire others to conversion. Our world community needs to know you so very much. Let us renew ourselves to know that Jesus is all, and in all. 

••AMEN••

…….thank you God

Yesterday I turned the soil in “the Generals” garden.  Weeding it and bringing new rich black soil to the surface. As I turned to begin packing up my car, I heard lovely chirps.  When I turned back to look, two Robins were forcing their beaks into the soil and pulling up nourishment…the spring worms, their favorite. I even talked to them a little. Inquiring if they had come to visit me or the worms. They stayed. Regardless…..it was a “moment.”

…..and soon I was happily on my way.  God is so Good.

14th Birthday Today.
Happy Birthday Sienna……!

My Colorado Contingent

…..sweet notes from my grandchildren, post Christmas gifts. I’m sure their “mummy” was behind this lovely gesture.  She was raised in the British traditions. Very proper. I miss them all, as they are far away.
