Friday, 22 June 2007 - Signs of hope

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for signs of hope.

Bright yellow tomato and strawberry blossoms.
Freshly-picked mint leaves in a variety of flavors: chocolate, orange, grapefruit, mint julep.
Tiny watermelon seedlings taking root.

Out-of-control basil and thyme.


Despite the recent spate of personal bad news, my garden thrives. Perhaps it knows that, for sustenance, my heart and spirit need signs of hope.

As my garden prospers, so does my soul.

For this blessing, I am grateful.

Amen.
