As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by failing to pray for you. 1 Samuel 12:23 NIV Gardeners, we have much work to do, and we’re not talking about weeding, watering, or planting pots. Why not direct our thoughts, while our souls are rejoicing in taking care […]
The Garden in Delight blog leads you deeper into prayer this holy season: As the garden wakes up in spring to the work of overturning soil, pulling up dead plants, and digging spots for new ones, so let us put those shovels, spades, and trowels to work as metaphor and Dig into Prayer. At its simplest, prayer […]

Now the people complained about their hardships…We remember the fish we ate in Egypt at no cost—also the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic. Numbers 11:1, 5 NIV Some of us are harvesting garlic (although some of us are still waiting). How about an Amen! for the alliums—garlic and their sidekicks, leeks and onions, that add […]
With the winter upon us and most of the leaves fallen, evergreen branches remain faithful to shelter and protect our feathered garden friends. Don’t the birds seem to dart and zip about the chilly sanctuary in joyful, happy liveliness?! They live in the garden’s trees all year, but somehow escape notice, I suppose, upstaged by […]
The National Day of Prayer is a day of common ground, “bringing together citizens to celebrate our most beloved freedom; the freedom to humbly come before God and seek His guidance in prayer,” quoted from www.nationaldayofprayer.org. Easy enough for us gardeners…on our knees anyway, as they say! Enjoy an excerpt from God’s Word for Gardeners […]
Wishing you a Merry Christmas! May the delight of our Savior’s birth be with you, and the splendor of that starry sky so long ago continue to fill you with wonder. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the […]
Garden in Delight welcomes flax to the Plant Guide in anticipation of setting the table for our Thanksgiving feasts next week. Dotted with impish blue flowers, flax is a mighty, “most useful” plant as its Latin name usitatissimum proclaims. The stems connect us to the age-old practice of weaving linen, an agricultural crop dating back […]
O Gardeners, let us turn our gardens into places of prayer, uniting our minds and voices for Patriot Day, Friday, September 11th. Our soldiers, police officers, firefighters, coast guard, and so many more offer their strength in service; likewise may we commit strength from our garden service—watering, weeding, tidying up—to seeking the Lord. The people […]
My Dad passed away last week; the world lost a great adventurer, businessman, soldier, philosopher, and friend, yet heaven gained a great saint! Hallelujah to the Lord who welcomes back with arms thrown wide open and celebrates. In honor of my Dad, I have re-posted a blog from Father’s Day last year, “A Father Loves his Children & A […]
