Gardens of Eden
“The Lord God took the man and put him
in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.”
--from the Creation stories of Genesis
The weekend was filled with natural beauty. The asparagus grew almost three inches, the perennials are coming out of the earth and growing, and those with allergies used up more kleenex than they wanted to! It is good to get out in the yard and experience the rejuvenation of Mother Earth. How wonderful it is to have our little “Gardens of Eden” to work them and care for them!
The weekend was filled with inspiration. Here in Indianapolis thousands joined in the annual Race for the Cure, giving a powerful witness about how we care for creation (one another). We are looking for, discovering and refining methodologies for treating disease. Attending to the needs of creation can be done in minor and major ways. All the various ways are important to the whole of creation.
For many the rhythm of life moves to the workplace today. Our workplaces are also garden spots, places where we will be challenged and where we will commit ourselves to making creation a better place. May the Creator who empowers us bless your day.
Prayer: Thanks to you, O God, for the opportunity to work and care for your garden.
