| Golden Cottage peace lilies |
One thing I've said over and over in my life is this: "I prize peace above everything." Peace is a beautiful, wonderful, and amazing thing in one's life. To be at rest, without anxiety, with a grateful heart and sweet serenity. I prize peace so dearly, I think because I lived without it for much of my life. Now, I have peace and I am most grateful to God. Here is how I found it:
"Those who love your Torah have great peace;
nothing makes them stumble."
Psalm 119:165

And here's a photo taken on my second trip to Israel. It's in the Garden of Gethsemane in Jerusalem. The garden is a beautiful, peaceful place. I'm longing to go there again . . . and it could be soon! You can read about my visits at this link.
I found this meme about peace (Garden of Bright Images on Facebook). I like it. I found that rest in Adonai, through Yeshua and obedience to His Torah. Shalom to you all, Gail-Friends.
I sometimes share my posts with these friends:

My hubby passed away in May, and my cousin sent me that plant. Had no clue that it is called a Peace Lily because the cards for care that came with it said no name or really how to care for it. Glad to have visited and seen what it is called so I can check out further how to care for it, and if can be planted outside in Ohio. So far though there was only one sprout with a flower and no more since that one died.

Peabea- I'm sorry about your husband, and I hope our Heavenly Father gives you peace each time you look at your plant. I don't know much about the peace plant - perhaps it is the Lily of the Valley (another name for Yeshua, the Messiah,) spoken of in Scripture.
DeleteMy husband is our gardener and has the green thumb. I'm strictly forbidden to touch the plants - I have the black thumb of death. All I can tell you about ours is that they are in containers, in the shade, under a camphor tree. They get the morning sun, and daily watering in the summer (central Florida). They will let you know when they are thirsty by wilting. But, they spring right back when you give them a drink. He also uses Miracle Grow on all of our plants. If planted, they will spread like other lilies.
I hope your plant will thrive and bring you as much joy as mine.
Thanks for stopping by today and come again soon.
