Mothering Sunday Blessings

Gentle Reader ~~~

Today, March 15th 2015 is Mothering Sunday in Great Britain.

I have already written about this day, and how it differs from International Mother's Day in May, and you can read about it here

Sending Heartfelt Warmest Wishes for a Happy Mothering Sunday to All Mothers, wherever they are, and to all the Hu~mums of Fur Kids everywhere.

God's Garden

This was my Grandmother's favourite poem. It is by Dorothy Frances Gurney

THE Lord God planted a garden

In the first white days of the world,
And He set there an angel warden
In a garment of light enfurled.

So near to the peace of Heaven,
That the hawk might nest with the wren,
For there in the cool of the even
God walked with the first of men.

And I dream that these garden-closes
With their shade and their sun-flecked sod
And their lilies and bowers of roses,
Were laid by the hand of God.

The kiss of the sun for pardon,
The song of the birds for mirth,--
One is nearer God's heart in a garden
Than anywhere else on earth.

For He broke it for us in a garden
Under the olive-trees
Where the angel of strength was the warden
And the soul of the world found ease.
