Recipe for the Garden of Daily Living

It is a beautiful Thursday up here in the Pacific Northwest!  I hope everyone is having a great day.  After spending some time with several different lovely ladies today, I came home to find this cute email from my mom.  I try to post my own personal and original thoughts as much as possible here, but this was too great not to share.

THE GARDEN FOR DAILY LIVING

First, come to the garden alone while the dew

 is still on the roses.

PLANT 3 ROWS OF PEAS

 

 1.  Peace of mind 

2.  Peace of heart

 3.  Peace of soul  

PLANT 4 ROWS OF SQUASH

 1.  Squash gossip          

2.  Squash indifference

 3.  Squash grumbling   

 4.  Squash selfishness   

PLANT 4 ROWS OF LETTUCE

  1.  Lettuce be faithful                       

2.  Lettuce be kind                         

3.  Lettuce be patient                     

4.  Lettuce really love one another

NO GARDEN IS COMPLETE WITHOUT TURNIPS

1.  Turnip for meetings           

2.  Turnip for service              

3.  Turnip to help one another

TO FINISH YOUR GARDEN YOU MUST HAVE THYME

1.  Thyme for God           

2.  Thyme for each other 

3.  Thyme for family       

4.  Thyme for friends       

Now, water freely and patiently watch your garden grow.  

There is much fruit in your garden because you reap what you sow.

~May we all plant such a garden in our own lives~
