Hidden Garden
I'm drinking tea and looking out at this gracious garden, created by my hostess, in the midst of a very poor area in Natal. It is quiet, except for the barking of neighbors’ dogs, and the subdued notes of classical music drifting out of the house. I look at this, thinking: our lives, too, can be like this lovely hidden garden. God gave each one of us the ability to create a hidden garden within ourselves, where we can find quietness and peace and beauty - even when we are surrounded by confusion. It is hidden in our spirit: a place where we can retreat to be with our Lord, and have communion with Him.
