How To Plant Your Garden Of Life


This was sent to me in an email today from a friend (author unknown)

For a full garden, each of us should make sure to plant:
Three rows of peas

* Peas of mind
* Peas of heart
* Peas of soul

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

Don’t forget the turnips!

* Turnip for meetings
* Turnip for service
* Turnip to help one another

And finally, our garden should have thyme:

* Thyme for each other
* Thyme for family
* Thyme for friends

Water your garden freely with patience and cultivate with love. If there is much fruit in your garden, it is because you reap what you sow 🙂
