Martha and the Gardener

The Gift of Faith

A distant rumble

cannot darken my delight

in nature’s beauty

Lily

When I got my first home, knowing nothing of gardening, I was amazed when the neglected yard suddenly, come Spring, had lilies in bloom!  When I relocated some years later filled with hopes and dreams, I also faced many unexpected challenges. I still do. Come spring though, I was again surprised by lilies!  I still know nothing about gardening, but I know my Savior’s redeeming love.  I saw it that day in the lilies He gave to me! The lilies bloomed again today!

    Those are beautiful. I’m no gardener either, but I sure appreciate its beauty.

    These orange lilies are one of my favourite flowers, so brilliant, but yet so easy to take care of.
