Tis the season for planting. Just like a garden, we all need to nurture and care for ourselves and those we have personal and professional relationships with to thrive and enjoy the gifts in our lives!
Here’s a poem that teaches us how to plant a garden for daily living.
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 patient
- 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 each other
- Thyme for family
- Thyme for friends
- Thyme for God
Water freely with patience and cultivate with love. There is much fruit in your garden because you reap what you sow.
