I've been planning my garden. I can't wait to get outside and get my hands in the dirt. I've read a good gardening book-- "Gardening When It Counts" -- and am hoping to have greater success this year. In reading about gardening I found a garden that everyone can plant. Of course it will take work and weeding, but the harvest will be fantastic! Here it is:
PLANT THREE ROWS OF SQUASH:
1. Squash gossip.
2. Squash criticism.
3. Squash indifference.
PLANT SEVEN ROWS OF PEAS:
1. Prayer
2. Promptness
3. Perseverance
4. Politeness
5. Preparedness
6. Purity
7. Patience
PLANT SEVEN HEADS OF LETTUCE:
1. Let us be unselfish and loyal.
2. Let us be faithful to duty.
3. Let us search the scriptures.
4. Let us not be weary in well doing.
5. Let us be obedient in all things.
6. Let us be truthful.
7. Let us love one another.
NO GARDEN IS COMPLETE WITHOUT TURNIPS:
1. Turn up for church.
2. Turn up for meetings.
3. Turn up with a smile, even when things are difficult.
4. Turn up with determination to do your best.
MAKE SURE YOUR GARDEN GETS PLENTY OF EXPOSURE TO THE SON!
Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. --Gal. 6:7
Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bear bad fruit--and man is his own gardener. --James Lane Allen
Happy gardening!
