The Little Things in Life

location: the garden of my soul

mood: contemplative

music: Here Comes the Sun

This whole year at  MOPS our theme has been the home. At each speaker meeting the invited guest speaker would take a room of the house and speak on that particular room and relate it somehow to our relationships with each other and Christ. Last night's speaker spoke on the garden...the original garden, our own gardens that we plant, and the garden of our soul. 

I started thinking of how I wanted to present my patio at the apartment. Spring is the perfect time to move in, I can plan on getting some containers and some hanging baskets to prepare for this summer. Include a few simple lawn chairs and a small table, and oil`a, a soothing place where I can commune with the Lord in the cool of the morning. 

I have to admit, I didn't bloom very well at my mom's house. Rough, rocky ground led to a weakend stem. I do have to say that there was plenty of exposure to the SON so that was probably my only saving grace. 

First thing that is happening at my new planting ground is, well, working the ground. We are starting with a clean slate. Fresh, clean ground-no clutter. Lots of good food. Room to grow. Exposure to sonlight everyday. Nurturing each other is very important as well. I want to impart Christ's frangrance around me where ever I go. Only when I'm blooming at my fullest, my most vibrant can I do that. Clean out the weeds of sin that try to choke me. 

Transplanting is going to be fun.
