Garden of Gethsemane

Welcome to The Garden of Gethsemane

A song for you as you walk these ancient paths........Yesternite

I visited this garden in 2008 when I was on a trip to Jerusalem.

It is a garden like no other.

It has got to be the oldest garden I have ever been in; it is at least 2000 years old.

Gethsemane means 'the place of crushing or pressing". 

In this grove of gnarly old olive trees,  they used to press the oil from the olives.

As the olives were crushed the oil flowed.

Here, Christ wept and sweated great drops of blood before he was crucified.

The Bible tells us that Christ was perfected by the things he suffered.

May you have a place of pressing and crushing in your life.

May it become a place of beauty to you.

May the oil of the Holy Spirit flow.

May you be perfected by the things you suffer. May you even count

your trials and tribulations ALL joy!

Grace and Peace

Organizing the Garden Shed

 "The year's at the spring and the day's at the morn" but the spring wind blows chilly. The ground is still frozen solid and there are aging piles of lingering snow in the yard. There is not much I can do right now except prune the fruit trees or clean out the tool shed.

        Sorry- the only picture I can find of my shed was taken in May not March. I opted organize my garden shed which was in a shambles of unorganization. I do not know how this  happens as I really love everything in its place.

Somehow things just do not stay in their place like they aught!

 So everything comes out all in a jumble and goes back in nice and orderly.

I found these large hooks at Lowes and they worked very well for hanging anything with a handle, like spades and forks.

      I found a great idea for storing long handled tools at Ashbeedesign that I am going to make.

...organizing your garden shed, one of the simple pleasures of gardening. May you enjoy this day that the Lord has made and may you rejoice and be glad in it!
