Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.
Psalm 30:5
A garden plot’s a healing spot.
I know the feel of sod
Was my mother’s way to say,
“I’ve touched a bit of God.”
June Masters Bacher
As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand
that it is the common everyday blessings
of our common everyday lives
for which we should be particularly grateful.

In the Morning
By Elece Hollis
I meet God in the morning
when the dew is on the grass
When the sun has just come up
And a soft breeze trundles past.
I meet Him in the quiet spot
Beside the garden gate
While the birds come singing-winging,
He arrives; He’s never late.
I meet Him in the garden rows
He sends a butterfly to kiss
My shoulder or my hair, my face
A dew-new greeting I must not miss.
I meet Him as I kneel down
Plucking peas and pulling weeds
He meets me there and touches me.
With simple peace, He meets my needs.
I meet God in the morning
He goes with me through the day
I thank Him for the joy and love
He gifts me with along life’s way.
And a soft breeze trundles past.
I meet Him in the quiet spot
Beside the garden gate
While the birds come singing-winging,
He arrives; He’s never late.
I meet Him in the garden rows
He sends a butterfly to kiss
My shoulder or my hair, my face
A dew-new greeting I must not miss.
I meet Him as I kneel down
Plucking peas and pulling weeds
He meets me there and touches me.
With simple peace, He meets my needs.
I meet God in the morning
He goes with me through the day
I thank Him for the joy and love
He gifts me with along life’s way.
Have you noticed how many of the flowers and trees have heart-shaped leaves? Could it be that God is saying, “Hey there, somebody loves you!”
C.E. Hollis
The quest for a simpler life is in itself
an infinite journey toward God.
