Life-giving water in great abundance gushes wildly toward a silver pond of tranquil serenity. This scene bespeaks not only the sustenance of the womb, but the Living Water only God can give. It also reminds us that the Lord will show Himself to you, blessing you through many people... your family... and others of His own choosing, beware of those outside that fold.

The gazebo is lovely but offers no real shelter. Indeed the tender floral ivy bedecking it does not even protect from a shower, much less the storms we know will come. Yet it would seem that you and God have chosen it for its beauty and will boldly walk through life’s storms, facing them together.

The path is narrow, not well traveled save by few. It symbolizes the path leading to God’s great throne. It also speaks of your frequent travel to that holy place. Yes, there are shadows on that path, for there will be sorrows along the way as each pilgrim seeks God’s throne of grace.

Flowering plants, yet not in great variety, are here at the forefront, again recalling your love and focus on the beauty of the Lord and the life He’s given you. They add softness to this rugged scene, lending strength by their fragility. Just as the tender heart of Christ is the strongest heart of all.
