GARDENING GOD's WAY
Gardening God's Way
Plant three rows of peas:
Peace of mind
Peace of heart
Peace of soul
Plant four rows of squash:
Squash gossip
Squash grumbling
Squash indifference
Squash selfishness
Plant four rows of lettuce:
Lettuce be faithful
Lettuce be kind
Lettuce be obedient
Lettuce really love one another
No garden without turnips:
Turnip for service
Turnip to help one another
Turnip for meetings
Water freely with patience and
Cultivate with love.
There is much fruit in your garden
Because you reap what you sow.
To conclude our garden...
We must have thyme:
Thyme for God
Thyme for study
Thyme for prayer

UNFOLDING THE ROSE
A young, new preacher was walking with an older, more
seasoned preacher in
the garden one day and feeling a bit insecure about what
God had for him to
do, he was inquiring of the older preacher. The older
preacher walked up to a
rosebush and handed the young preacher a rosebud and told
him to open it
without tearing off any petals.
The young preacher looked in disbelief at the older
preacher and was trying
to figure out what a rosebud could possibly have to do
with his wanting to
know the WILL OF GOD for his life and for his ministry.
Because of his high
respect for the older preacher, he proceeded to TRY to
unfold the rose, while
keeping every petal intact...It wasn't long before he
realized how impossible
it was to do so. Noticing the younger preacher's
inability to unfold the
rosebud while keeping it intact, the older preacher began
to recite the
following poem...
UNFOLDING THE ROSE
It is only a tiny rosebud,
A flower of God's design;
But I cannot unfold the petals
With these clumsy hands of mine.
The secret of unfolding flowers
Is not known to such as I.
GOD opens this flower so sweetly,
When in my hands they die.
If I cannot unfold a rosebud,
This flower of God's design,
Then how can I have the wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?
So I'll trust in Him for leading
Each moment of my day.
I will look to him for His guidance
Each step of the pilgrim way.
The pathway that lies before me,
Only my Heavenly Father knows.
I'll trust Him to unfold the moments,
Just as He unfolds the rose.
Please share this poem with a friend if you enjoyed being
reminded to let go
and let God.

I AM A CHRISTIAN
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I am saved"
I'm whispering "I was lost"
That is why I chose this way.
When I say ..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need someone to be my guide.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong
I'm professing that I'm weak
and pray for strength to carry on.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and cannot ever pay the debt.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are too visible
But, God believes I'm worth it.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
Which is why I speak His name.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority.
I only know I'm loved.
