Daily Devotion - Wednesday, April 28

Our Garden 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, the perennials continued to grow and see if the feeling of springtime is genuine. Here in the Indianapolis area those with allergies used up more Kleenex than they wanted to and hopefully are feeling some relief after some much needed rainfall. It was 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 and care for!

The rhythm of life in our chosen workplaces can be another garden spot. I'm privileged to work in a place where associates commit themselves day after day to care for patients needing the care that can bring them to a better place. May the Creator who empowers us bless you in your workplace.

A prayer: Thanks to you, O God, for the opportunity to work and care for your garden.
