Let me start by saying that if fairies exist, they do so because our wonderfully artistic God created them. I know fairies often get a bad rep and are associated with things not Christian, but I am of the wholehearted opinion that if such creatures exist, it would be by God’s grace and imagination. That being said, I’ve been having such a fun time this summer creating a fairy garden.
Perhaps you can relate: there’s one side of your house that gets the least sun, is the least in view, and is the most abandoned. When we bought our house, every part of the yard was neglected, and we began working right away on the back and front yards. Even the west side yard, where the back door is, got attention. The east side of the house, though, out of sight and out of mind, was a garbage and weed filled wreck. Except. Well, I claimed it. I spent all winter drawing sketches and visualizing. I made fairy houses and plans. When the weather began to warm, I went to work. Karl helped a little, but I wanted this to be my project, so he stayed mostly hands-off. (His best contribution is the bench he built!)
Now, we have a relaxing nook to enjoy. So far, I haven’t seen any fairies, but who knows? Maybe, since I built it, they will come!
