Jeremiah 29:13 (GW) When you look for me, you will find me. When you wholeheartedly seek me, “I will be found by you,” says the Lord. “I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your own land.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29:14‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Hi, my name is Baby Tina! Dolly is my Mom! (See earlier Blog Dolly) You remember she only has one ear. But, it’s a good ear. She has been on maternity leave. I’v found a favorite food while hopping over to our school chair. My Mom, Dolly, your Bunny Friend, says it’s time for me to greet my school teacher, Lady Landlord.

She has been looking for Dolly, and we are found!

I have to hop very secretive under bush after bush because danger lurks for me as I’m an easy target because I’m Tiny Tina and learning the trails. I now have a spot to nibble goodies and use my bunny ears to learn new things.

It’s raining very gently here and Lady Landlord uses an umbrella with flora print. I just nicely sit under a green leaf and take mental notes. Here is my learning for today. They were spoken by Lady Landlord’s good friend, Jesus. She says, it’s not just words spoken by anyone but words of great power! I think they are worth sharing and leaving with my new friends. Hope to hop back on soon to see how you all are doing.

“For when you see me, you are seeing the one who sent me. I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark.”
‭‭John‬ ‭12:45-46‬ ‭NLT‬‬

 

We have created little outdoor settings so we could have guest here and there. If you sit here (see photo below) for a drink of bottled water and one sits on the porch in same type mask and gloves they can chat.

There are various settings to enjoy a garden. We tried to make settings 12-20 ft apart for now. Mask and gloves worn. It’s working and the gardens make it worth while to have little gatherings.

Things are going to get better and as we wait we can choose to add a little beauty to God’s earth each day and enjoy nature and friends

While pausing to give thought to God and gardens I was stunned remembering the various uses God designed gardens for?

Can you guess who my guest is? Or, do we need to unmask the mystery for you? 🌸🌺😍🌝

The LORD God created the first garden, Eden which we all most likely know a story or stories related to. After Eden, the Bible mentions numerous gardens and their attributes. In the Song of Solomon 6:11 and Luke 13:19, a garden is referred to as a place of shelter and shade, and also as a place of protection ( Song of Solomon 4:12 ).

Spring 2020 garden thoughts began to create ideas unlike in past Springs. Yet, not understanding the why really but having a knowing God knew so little steps were taken to oblige the urging of the Holy Spirit. Little did we know Covid-19 would cause God to need a gathering place for sharing. We have an “honor ones lost to Covid-19” sitting garden spot. Reading garden spot. Prayer garden and Chat gardens among a few viewing only garden spots.

Do you have a favorite Bible garden story? Home garden? Park Garden? Memorial Garden. A Garden may be calling you as it called a writer to pen these words, “I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses…And he talks with me
And he tells me I am his own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known”

My name is Dolly! I’m a Bunny! I’m a one ear bunny! And a little short when it comes to one of my front legs. Yes, a special Rabbit am I.

I live in Leesburg, Va and I’m so happy to daily hop around. I have a few favorite windows where I stop for fun. I have made friends with Socrates and Peaches. They bark. They patiently wait by my favorite window for me to appear each morn.

They never seem to notice that I’m a Rabbit missing an ear and front foot too. Their family named me Dolly. I hear them say things like, “Dolly, the one ear bunny.”

The family always seem thrilled to see me. They all stand and stare at me. Not because I’m a little different in my looks but because I’m gentle in my approach.

I wonder, they wonder, we all wonder? I have no way to tell them how I am living, hopping, thriving on three legs not four. How I hear so well with one ear not two.

They seem a little strange also. Socrates and Peaches walk on all fours. They have two ears. But, the tall ones that live and visit there walk on two legs with two ears. Gee, we are all so different in size, color, and language.

Yet, we all love our early mornings and late evenings to meet, greet, chat and smile. We have a few faithful birds that show up as well.

We have all come to a few conclusions. 1) Ecclesiastes 1:8-11 ⁸All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing. ⁹What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”

2) The Christian life is not meaningless. There may be nothing new under the sun, but Jesus promises, some day, to make all things new ( Revelation 21:5).

3) I am a Rabbit I enjoy the benefits of this great yard and I don’t pay rent. Neither do the birds.

My lady landlord told me a story. Rent free for me and the birds were meant to be. She told me another bunny story, there is nothing new under the sun but there are many things hidden yet to be revealed.

The world is in great search for the hidden now. She says it’s a vaccine for Covid 19. She at times talks out loud saying it’s prayer that holds a key for the hidden to be revealed. She believes where a few agree on this one thing we will see the hidden revealed.

As I close for now I have a question? Have you ever wondered why Easter loves a hunt for the new yet to be revealed? How many eggs did you find? Until next time, love Dolly💝
