Spiritual Gardening

It’s time to plant our gardens. As you plant, may I suggest the following rules for your garden planting:

Plant three rows of squash: 1. Squash gossip; 2. Squash criticism; 3. Squash indifference

Plant three rows of peas: 1. Purity; 2. Patience; 3. Perseverance

Plant six rows 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 love one another

No garden is complete without turnips: 1. Turn up for church, prayer service and Bible study; 2. Turn up with a smile, even when things are difficult; 3. Turn up with determination to do your best for God’s cause

After planting, may you, “Grow in Grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18.
