Positively Revelling
"My garden ...the delight it has been to me... I am positively revelling in flowers - dozens of the most lovely blossoms. It is the greatest pleasure my days bring to me to go to my garden every morning and see what new blossoms have opened overnight."
L.M.M - Lucy Maud Montgomery
Will it be the sweet fragrance that permeates the air as new buds unfold in worship toward the heavens?
Perhaps a spirited winged creature dancing in playful abandon within the refreshing waters of our tiny pond or birdbath. It is all sheer joy to me.
The garden has been a hallowed ground for me to learn to revel in wonder and to quietly abide with my Beloved.
As I dig, water and delight to seek His beauty I also become transformed.
I learn to work alongside my Beloved. Share in His creation. Prune away the things that need to be left behind so I too become a new creation.
The garden has also been an intentional place to foster community as we gather together sharing lives around the table. Laughing, remembering, storytelling as we live in deep communion.
Awake and stroll with Him in the garden. If you do not have a garden consider a drive to one in your local community.
Take off your shoes, rest your feet in the cool of the grass, gather some soil in your hands, breathe deep, inhale the intoxicating aroma of creation, feast your eyes on the divine detail of every glorious brushstroke found hidden in each tiny petal.
Positively
revel
every day
in Christ
Delight in the breath-taking pleasures of creation. As you take in the delightful wonder all around you do not miss the greater gift that is there waiting for you and me in the garden. The joy of the Creator Himself. Positively revel in Christ. He longs to walk daily with you and me - so let's take a little stroll together - shall we?
Let us cultivate the seeds that nourish our interior castle.
May we be attentive to the unfolding of the beauty of our Beloved so that we may live every day overflowing with the fullness of Christ.
