God Planted A Garden And Placed Man In It

At the Calgary Zoo, I loved walking through the Botanical Gardens. I think a garden would make a glorious home, don't you? Who needs the clutter of ornaments and all the furniture we have today in our homes. Natural beauty would be far better! After all, the Garden of Eden was the home God designed for the first man and woman He created. That's why people are drawn to gardens — they comfort and quiet our troubled souls. Gardens are a reminder to us of who God is: our loving Heavenly Father who so thoughtfully created a beautiful home for us to live in.

"Then the Lord God planted a garden in Eden in the east,
 and there He placed the man He had made."
Genesis 2:8 (NLT)





I am sure the Garden of Eden was only a fraction of how beautiful this garden was, so I wonder what our home in Heaven will be like!
