Pathways in your garden



“You comprehend my path and my lying down,
and are acquainted with all my ways.” PSALM 139:3

You have paths in your garden and paths in your life.
Are they the paths that best suit your landscape and your life?
Haven’t you ever paused to look at the pathways in your garden? Do you have a path with a curve which teases the eye around the corner to the next beautiful perennial bed or specimen plant?
Your life probably has pathways in it which you should observe more closely. Does your every day life have curves in the road to happiness or success? Have you been teased into or tempted into situations you should have avoided?
Before you go into the land outside your garden, begin your day by spending a few minutes with the Master Gardener. Ask Him to let you spend the day with Him. Pray that He will build a hedge around you to protect you from the pitfalls of some wrongly chosen pathways.
God has a pathway for you today which may lead you to a new friend or a stranger with whom you can share your story of what God is doing in your garden.

GARDENING TIP: Whenever going into your garden, at home, take your bypass shears...something always needs pruning. And carry a disinfectant wipe to use on your shears between plants, especially roses.
