Babies and Gardens

Babies and gardens help us to slow down,
to be still,
to be filled with wonder,
and to know that God is God.

"Be still and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:10)

Thank you, Lord, for helping me to know.

Gifts from God:
11.  beauty of a baby's face, and fingers, and feet
12.  cradling her in my arms and calming her so her mother could enjoy lunch
13.  feeling again the enormous blessing of life
14.  my sweet husband making lovely flower arrangements in teapots for a friend's luncheon
15.  this dear friend's vibrant gift for encouraging and cultivating beauty
16.  the angelic manner of her caretaker, Angie
17.  remembering them having lunch with us here last December
18.  Sarah calling to contemplate sky-diving
19.  Benjamin feeling better soon
20.  the beginning of the praise band

With gratitude,
Sally
