' For the joy of the Lord is your strength.' Neh 8:10
I just love the resurrection of the garden in spring. The transformation of a drab space into moments of wonder as week by week the plants comes to life in colour, bloom and perfume. I find myself wandering about the garden being amazed by each new burst of blessing.
Its like coming out of darkness into light, like being asleep and now awake, like having a tough time yet knowing there will be better times ahead, its like individual moments of resurrections that bring joy to our hearts, deep within.
Sister Stan says:
Joy comes in little whispers
in sudden unexpected glimpses of mystery.
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ.
