A Spiritual Garden

First, plant six rows of peas:

Pardon
Patience
Preparedness
Promptness
Politeness
Perseverance

Then plant four rows of squash:

Squash criticism
Squash gossip
Squash laziness
Squash indifference

Next plant six rows of lettuce:

Let us be faithful
Let us be loyal
Let us be unselfish
Let us be truthful
Let us love one another
Let us read our Bible

No garden is complete without turnips:

Turn up with a smile
Turn up with a testimony
Turn up with a real concern
Turn up with a willing spirit
Turn up with encouragement

Planting instructions:

Plow the furrows of the heart deeply and water daily with the tears of heartfelt prayer. Note: due to the ideal climate in which we live, these seeds can be planted at any time of the year. Plant where they are exposed to the Son.
