I’m sure many of you will have seen this but a friend has just sent it to me so I thought I would share it.
How to Plant Your Garden
First, you come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses
For the garden of your daily living,
Plant three rows of peas:
Plant four rows of squash:
1. Squash gossip 2. Squash indifference 3. Squash grumbling 4. Squash selfishnessPlant four rows of lettuce:
1. Let us be faithful 2. Let us be kind 3. Let us be patient 4. Let us love one anotherNo garden is without turnips:
1. Turn up for meetings 2. Turn up for service 3. Turn up to help one anotherTo conclude our garden we must have thyme:
1. Time for each other 2. Time for family 3. Time for friendsWater freely with patience and cultivate with love.
There is much fruit in your garden because you reap what you sow.
