Mary and I have been working on the church flower beds the past couple of months. On Sunday, the church is having a work day. One of the projects will be putting plantings down into our outdoor worship area. Have spent the past two weeks looking at how to best "naturalize" the area inexpensively. Of course, honeysuckle tries to quickly take over the area but the church has persevered and it has become a quiet retreat in the middle of a very urban area. Hoping someday to have the area filled with native woodland plants which will add to the quiet worship area it has become for many of us. I love sitting down there and spending time with God. My backyard is becoming that quiet place for me also. Whatever your religious preference, I feel it is so important to take quiet time each day.

Take a little quiet time today and enjoy the creation that God has made for us!
