Plant your garden 2012

I got an email from my mother today, and this was the content. I hope it blesses you as much as it blessed me 🙂

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 :

  1. Peace of mind
  2. Peace of heart
  3. Peace of soul

Plant four rows of squash

  1. Squash gossip
  2. Squash indifference
  3. Squash grumbling
  4. Squash selfishness

Plant four rows of lettuce

  1. Lettuce be faithful
  2. Lettuce be kind
  3. Lettuce be patient
  4. Lettuce really love one another

No garden is without turnips

  1. Turnip for meetings
  2. Turnip for service
  3. Turnip to help one another

To conclude our garden we must have Thyme

  1. Thyme for each other
  2. Thyme for family
  3. Thyme for friends

Water freely with patience and cultivate with love. There is much fruit in your garden because you reap what you sow.

About bikingpastor
I was born and brought up in Edinburgh, although my accent has sadly long gone. After graduating I worked for PA Consulting Group (laterally as a Partner in the firm) where I specialised in enabling business change through the application of technology (although I was usually far more involved in helping people achieve their best rather than being a technology expert) - then in 2007 I sensed God was calling me to leave that career and move into Christian ministry. In September 2009 I started a degree in theology at Spurgeon’s College and took a post as assistant minister at King’s Baptist Church Stotfold; then in July 2011 when the senior minister left I took on the role of minister. In September 2012 we moved to Cardiff and I am now the minister at Calvary Baptist Church. In my spare time I enjoy cycling, motor-cycling, reading, hill-walking, and flying radio-control aircraft; as well as spending time with my family. The next venture is to learn to fly micro-lights.
