A walk in nature always amazes me and reminds me that we serve an awesome GOD! We are surrounded by his love and mercy but often we get so caught up in life that we don’t see it or feel it.

We are so blessed to have an abundance of nature in our own backyard and garden… this reminds us our of creator every day.

It makes me ponder how amazing the Garden of Eden must’ve been… I’m sure that our garden can’t be anything close to that but it can be a place where we can talk to God and feel his presence as He surrounds us with His love. The burdens of this world melts around us when we allow ourselves to take in all of His glory.

We often start our mornings in the garden… the kids can run through the garden while the dew is still wet. They get excited when they find a new bug or they might have a butterfly counting contest. They also usually find a morning snack while outside too.

I love watching our youngest daughter walk through the garden as she notices everything from the squirrels to the tiny little bugs… they all amaze her.

A walk in the garden definitely relaxes me and if you don’t have a garden but you’d like to relax while watching some of His amazing creations at work then you can check out our latest video on YouTube:

A Walk Through the Garden

Waking through our garden also brings back precious memories for me. I can remember helping my mom-mom in her garden, I remember helping with some of our many gardens during my childhood, as well as some of the gardens I’ve had since living on my own.

I remember those back porch afternoons when we would string beans or shuck corn, I remember helping to make kraut or pickled corn… I’ve tried to make memories like those with my kids and I pray that those memories will stick with them and help them in their futures.

So many emotions can be stirred by taking a simple walk through a garden… any garden or park or just being in nature. It can relax you on those days when you just feel overwhelmed or discouraged. A walk surrounded by nature can help you connect with God and have a heart to heart with Him.

I pray that you can take some time today to recognize all of God’s love for you. I pray that you can see His goodness, His mercy, and His grace and that you can feel His presence in your life.

God Bless!!
