This small plot of peace.


When my mind is overwhelmed by the unlovely..


when I need to come aside and quieten my heart..
.

when my soul is craving the sound of serenity and birdsong..


I retreat from the din of the clammouring world to sit in my garden.
 Centered beneath the blue expanse above I breathe slowly in.. and out.. 
prayers of thanksgiving for this small plot of peace.

    I have the same feeling as you described. I feel closer to God when I can get out into His creation. During the winter I can even look at pretty pictures like these and feel transformed. Thank you!!

      Hello Jayanna, thank you for visiting me. I'm like you..when it's Winter here in Australia I love seeing the pretty Spring and Summer photos of northern hemisphere friends. I enjoy seeing the snowy wintry ones too when we are having a heatwave!It's definitely easier to sense God's Presence and beauty in nature..I find it so relaxing and peaceful. Bless you...Trish

    Your gardens are so beautiful. I can picture Him there with you-you know-He IS. I love the music you have on your blog. I tried to get it, but some reason, didn't work.
    Thanks so much for your posts-I actually really need what you've been posting lately.

    Hope you do get back to painting....

      Thank you dear friend. I spend a lot of time with Him in the garden..as I'm sure you do too..your place is so serene!
      I tried to leave you a message on your blog about the music video but was having trouble with the code being allowed in the reply.
      Hope you can understand what I said.
      Any Youtube video can be added to blogs by copying the code from the share and embed button and pasting it into a HTML gadget on our blogs. To make it paly automatically you just add.. autoplay=1; after the ? in the code.

      Bless you xx
