John 14: 27
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.
Not as the world gives do I give it to you.
Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid."





Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful,
and kindle in them the fire of Your love.
Send forth Your Spirit and they shall be created,
and You will renew the face of the earth.
Lord, by the light of the Holy Spirit,
You have taught the hearts of Your faithful.
In the same Spirit, help us to relish
what is right and always rejoice in Your consolation.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.



A garden is a very spiritual place. The Bible talks about two gardens, the Garden of Eden, where God's creation of man began and the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often went to pray. When we think of a garden, we think of new life, beauty and growth. This page will represent the "garden" of growth that we all have experienced in our "walk with Jesus." Please share with others how your "garden" walk has changed your life. Sharing your growth with others could help them on their "walk."
God Bless!

Grow in God's garden by planting the seed, nurturing it, and watching it grow and produce seed of its own.

I keep growing in the Lord each and every day. I do not want to be who I was I want to be who I can be in the lord...

Come live in our garden and know the good life.
We bask in the sunlight and survive any strife.
Our arms reach up to the heavens, our faces are kissed by the sun.
We bloom separate among us but in God we are one.
We're all sunflowers and roses of a remarkable height.
Growing steadfast and strong in the direction of His light.

(This is actually a poem from my site-- God's Garden. The poem is entitled 'Sunflowers and Roses' but I thought it may go nicely here in your garden area.)
