"Jesus, the express image of the Father’s person, the effulgence of His glory; the self-denying Redeemer, throughout His pilgrimage of love on earth, was a living representation of the character of the law of God. In His life it is made manifest that heaven-born love, Christlike principles, underlie the laws of eternal rectitude.

We have had an extremely dry summer with daytime temperatures well above a 100 in June. Take time to view this video if you like to garden and looking for ways to enjoy gardening as well as less "toiling" to achieve good results. Enjoy!
