Dear God,

When we returned home after a long summer away, we were astounded to find tall weeds, mostly 6 and 8 foot high.  The view outside our study window is like a jungle.  But what could we expect?  We couldn't find anyone to care for the landscaping and the worst happened.  Now, we have to hire a company to come, dig up, clean and carry away, redraw edging and replant.  What a nightmare!

However, the grounds brought a powerful message!  Any garden left unattended will give away to unwanted weeds and debris.  The garden of the soul is no different!  If we do not tend to caring for our soul through silence, surrender, listening, prayer and contemplation, we will run into the same problems.  

We will run amuck and face even more serious issues.  We too will have to reach out for help!

Thank you,

Blessed God,

for the message

of the weeds!

Thank you

for calling us

to attention.

Help us reevaluate

our priorities.

Lead our way.

Thank you.

Love, Andrea
