Gardening God's Way

" In the essence of spring,
here are a few seeds for the spirit.

It's time to plant our gardens.

As you plant, may I suggest
the following rules for your gardening pleasure.

Plant three rows of peas:
Peace of mind
Peace of heart
Peace of soul

Plant four rows of squash:
Squash gossip
Squash indifference
Squash grumbling
Squash selfishness

Plant four rows of lettuce:
Lettuce be faithful
Lettuce be kind
Lettuce be obedient
Lettuce really love one another

No garden without turnips:
Turnip for meetings
Turnip for service
Turnip to help one another

To conclude our garden we must have thyme:
Thyme for God
Thyme for study
Thyme for prayer

Water freely with patience
and cultivate with love.
There is much fruit in this garden
because you reap what you sow.

Enjoy Your Garden God's Way, Amen.
