Dear God,

The process of cleaning and preparing the garden for its spring blossom reminds me of your work on the human soul.  The garden needs to be cleared of debris.  Only you know how much debris needs clearing in the human soul.  The garden needs cut back.  There are always temptations that need to be trimmed back.  The garden needs old roots pulled up.  There are human roots that date back a long way, roots that are beliefs that still feed on old habits.  The garden needs to be edged in order to have an aesthetic, beautiful look.  The soul needs its own work so our natural beauty can show.

There are so many correlations between nature and the soul.  A garden can teach us much when we work in it and you work in us, in me.

Thank you
for wonderful lessons
learned in
the garden.
Thank you
for nature's
gentle touch.
Thank you
for your
much-needed work
in me.

Love, Andrea
