In The Garden at Night



As we closed last night the lights came on and my breath was taken away when I turned around and looked at the Tomb. A wonderful visual of the beauty we see on a daily basis!
We had over 1800 visitors to the garden yesterday and are well on our way to repeat that today. By the time we close the garden in the evening, we are READY for bed!
I work all day but Judy is free (at least for this week) in the morning. She has been able to walk to the Old City and explore and at the same time prepare lunch and our evening meal. We have been meeting people inside the garden and outside. One of the local volunteers is a wonderful young man that invited us to worship in their church Sunday. We plan to do so.

Oh to be there at the Garden tomb where Jesus rose to remove the gloom of a sin filled life from the ones who seek to be free at last to praise and speak of the one who saves and the one who loves, he's the one who reveals the Father above. Oh to be there at the Garden tomb.

Amazing ... in daylight or night. It is no wonder God loves that patch of earth so!

The photo and your comments truly gave me goose bumps! How close to our Lord you must feel during these days in the Garden. Thank you for sharing this once-in-a-lifetime experience and take care,
