My Cathedral

We have 13 acres of land

and most of it looks like this. To some it might look like an overgrown mess, to me, it is a canvas waiting to be worked on. When we first moved in, I wanted to fix a special place in the middle of these woods to stop and rest awhile, with paths and trails that twist and turn.

So I worked on it through out the years and am still working on it. This is the path that leads to my special place.

I like to come here early in the morning hours. It is a quiet place and surrounded with nature. The song, My Cathedral, by Jim Reeves, always comes to mind when I am working or just enjoying this place. ..... My cathedral has a ceiling of blue, my cathedral neath the sky. Where I lift up my eyes unto the hills and hear music from a stream rippling by....

My cathedral has an alter of flowers, their fragrant incense fills the air

In my cathedral, I am closer to Him than I could be anywhere.

For here I pray, in a place so grand, the carpet I kneel on was made by His own hand..

My cathedral has candles lighted by the stars and mighty pillars of trees,
No other cathedral is as beautiful, for God made my cathedral for me.....

I still have so much to do and plant here. It is a labor of love. I often tell friends and family, it is my one hundred year project. I will be working on it until I am 100. {: Now tell me, do you have a special place you like to go to? Is it on your property, or perhaps a neighborhood park? I would love to hear!
