Fall: In the Gardens of Our Hearts

By Jennifer Horn

Landscapes in fall seasons can be beautiful, bold, and quickly changing. God shows out with His created abundance in the earth that can sustain life. Do you recognize the wonders of abundance around you in your outside landscapes? God created these to reflect His creative provision for you, both in your outside world and inside heart gardens. Because you are individual in your abilities and reactions to the world around you, He sent His Holy Spirit to those who believe to lead, guide, and help with life's unique challenges and tasks. Take some time to connect with your caring creative God with the help of this book so that at the end of your harvest, you will be full of thankful praise to the God who created you.
