Walk around the Yard
🐝Busy Me🌻🥰🙏
I recently took a video walking around my Yard, before Sabbath, which, while not fancy, holds a special place in my Heart. When I moved here, it was just a big field, but over time, I've lovingly planted everything myself. I find simple Joy in mowing and trimming, making it my own little sanctuary. I love dreaming about Heaven's gardens, which will be much more Grand than our Earthly gardens.
My Son and his Friend recently helped me by chopping down a large Tree that had been blown over in a recent windstorm. With more weather threats looming tonight and tomorrow, affecting many of my Friends, Family, and surrounding Neighbouring Communities, I wanted to capture this moment as a Happy memory before the storms arrive. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to GoD. And the peace of GoD, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
In times like these, I am reminded of the Power of Prayer and the importance of Trusting in GoD's protection. We (you and I or Franklin the Cat, and I...he prays with me.. really!) can call upon angels to watch over our Homes, anchoring our Faith in GoD's word and the comforting verses of the Bible. I misspoke...lol we don't "put up"🤔 Angels, except when hot and tired...lol.🤣 We ask for their Divine Protection. 🙏🥰“Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?” Hebrews 1:14
If I sound out of Breath...lol, I was. I had just finished doing laundry, shopping, mowing the yard, and cleaning the house, while talking with friends. Who has time for more?
A normal day...oh, and writing Posts, Bible study, and Prayer.🙏🥰♥️🕊
💌Sending Love!

Walking around my yard has become more than just a chore; it’s a therapeutic experience that connects me deeply to nature and my faith. Over time, I've nurtured this patch of earth from an empty field into a vibrant garden filled with plants I planted myself. This hands-on care offers a peaceful retreat from the busyness of daily life. Taking care of the yard is both physical and spiritual for me. Mowing the grass and trimming trees require attention and effort, but these tasks also bring me a profound sense of accomplishment and calm. Before stormy weather approaches, there’s a quiet urgency to prepare and protect the space I’ve created. Moments like these remind me of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing the present. Drawing strength from my faith, I find comfort in biblical verses, especially Philippians 4:6-7, encouraging me not to be anxious but to turn to prayer with thanksgiving. This practice helps me manage stress and keeps my heart and mind at peace during uncertain times. My son and his friend recently helped remove a large tree blown over by the wind, illustrating how family and community support enrich these personal projects. It’s a reminder that gardens and homes thrive best when cared for by many hands and sustained by loving relationships. Interestingly, even my cat seems to participate in this spiritual journey, as if sharing the prayers and peaceful moments with me. This companionship, combined with the protective imagery of angels, creates a nurturing environment where my faith is anchored and hope renewed. Balancing household chores, gardening, social time, and spiritual activities like Bible study and prayer may seem overwhelming, but they all weave together to form a fulfilling rhythm. This blend of physical work, reflection, and connection is my way of embracing life's ordinary days with gratitude and love. For anyone cultivating their own garden or facing life's unpredictable storms, I encourage you to find sanctuary within your surroundings and faith. It’s these simple acts of care and trust that inspire resilience and joy, making every day meaningful.
