"They heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day..."
Now this verse is post-Fall and takes a dark turn right after these words as it goes on to describe Adam and Eve cowering and hiding from God in their shame. But , just looking at this first portion of the verse, I love that the Lord was there, in the cool of the day, to walk with His children.
Whenever I go on walk, I always think about that verse. I think of the Lord walking with Adam and Even through Eden, and whenever I feel a sweet, sudden breeze, I think about the fact that He probably likes walking with me, too.
Today I walked to the rose garden. It's a beautiful spot, and I can't even imagine how many kisses, hand-holding lovers, proposals, and weddings that garden has seen.
Of course I just went by myself. I picked up some of the fallen petals laying on the ground. I love the smell of roses.
I thought I might press the petals or do something artsy with them.
Instead I sprinkled them on my roommate's bed.
Ha.
