Enjoy these scriptures with a garden theme! Thanks goes to "Eyes on Christ". Visit My Eyes on Christ blog for more! (MyEyesOnChrist.blogspot.com)
Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress; instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle; and it shall be to the Lord for a memorial, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off. Isaiah 55: 13 They will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, to display his glory! Isaiah 61:3b
The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Isaiah 58: 11 (NIV)
I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses.
Refrain
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.
He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing.
Refrain
I’d stay in the garden with Him
Though the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling.
Thanking God for His great provision and all the beauty of spring! Hope each one of you take time to enjoy all the budding bushes, flowers and trees. Loving the butterflies that flit around and are coming back for that wonderful time of year. Enjoying my birdfeeder and even the cats are getting used to it and not bothering the birds! My pansies are bursting at the seams in lively color and thanks to Milmont Nursery and seeds from last year, I'm planting away and loving all the bursts of color and blooms to come... God tucking a blessing here and there throughout the day.. Thankful to be alive and looking to the Lord for strength and wisdom to live out my days. As a special bonus for my blogger friends I will be doing a surprize spring giveaway for this blog for this post. I will be choosing and name announceing the winner next week, April the 26th, Friday. No need to do anything but make a comment on this post on this blog and be a follower. You may tell me your favorite part of spring as well. New followers welcome!
Planted some of the tomatoes in bigger pots (for an early crop) and are outside in the back basking in the sunshine. The rest are now in the window after being under the big light and can stretch their little green arms and get ready for May for the planting in the garden.
We have wonderful green annual rye growing like crazy as the cover crop and will be trimmed to be worked into compost and eventually into the ground. Had to put up some of the electric fence last evening because the deer are starting to eat some of the rye. I've had a love/hate relationship with putting up birdfeeders because they don't mix with cats...But I couldn't help myself...I put one out in the front with some corn I've had stored and not using...My pansies are flourishing and enjoying them as well! Hope your garden and preparations are doing well!
We had some Heirloom Seeds I had ordered from last year. They took so long to come in we couldn't use them till this year-And put them in recycled styrofoam cups. Hubby bought some other seeds as well...Poked holes in the bottom around the side and filled with potting soil. Had to soak the PS first overnight because it was so dry, then put the seeds in. Placed them on a round plastic thing. Placed by our basement window while we had woodstove going. All but one germinated within the week! Had to slow them down by putting them in the cooler part of our basement with a big light placed on top and had to place seedlings really close to light so they won't be so spindly. Have them on a timer so light goes off at night. Water them regularly....Looking forward to having beautiful tomato plants!
