New Garden

Well we now have an area past our patio that has been created with nature in mind. The butterflies and bees are loving it and so are we. Our landscaper,Tim, did a great job preparing the space and brainstorming with me on the types of plants to put in it. In addition to this space, we have the veggie garden that has been providing us with onions, lettuce and snap peas. Our green beans are coming on the bushes and we have baby tomatoes and peppers too.
It would be such fun to spend my days just tending my gardens. For some reason lately, I have felt that time is just slipping away from me. I will take today and think of all the things I must do during the week and begin to stress about it. Before I know it...today is gone! Do you have trouble living in the moment? I know God wants us to abide in him each moment and to me, all this is overwhelming. I see my cancer patients and think that they are surely living in the moment and seeking God for comfort, but find that most are doing the same thing I am, except they are seeking the magic bullet cure and putting their life on hold til they no longer have cancer. And for many, that just isn't going to happen. I don't know the answer. I do know that I've had many sleepless nights lately trying to figure it out. I know too that I must keep seeking the One who has given me this time and be ever thankful for his goodness.
Until next time, stop and smell the flowers or whatever you do to realize that each moment is a precious gift.
