My Park

Greetings,

Growing up in a small town has its advantages I think. We had this fabulous park. It served two purposes: During Fall, Spring and Summer it was a place to go for picnics, swimming, family get-togethers, playing. During Winter the swimming pool became a big ice skating rink and the building served hot chocolate and had places where you could get together for parties too. The park took up a whole city block so you can imagine all the things that one could do. There were places for tag football and baseball and slides and swings and teeter-toters, and then empty grassy areas with trees for picnics. My favorite place of all was the garden in the middle of the park. It had high hedges and trees surrounding it. You had to enter into it from the openings created by spaces in the hedges. This is always the picture I have in mind when I think of a walk in the garden scenes. The park people designed it well for when you did enter - it was a quiet place where you and your thoughts could meet. And that is what I would like to pray about today --

Heavenly Father, Abba, How precious is Your Word, how Precious is Your Name. I pray for each dear sister-in-Christ today that she would enter into the quiet place where You are drawing her that she and her thoughts could meet with You. As she enters into this divine, holy place may she dwell on the things of God as it is written, "whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything is worthy of praise, dwell on these things." In Jesus Name, Amen.




Until next week


Your friend and sister-in-Christ
