FOOD FOR THE SOUL

First thing you must do is plant the appropriate garden.

Plant three rows of peas:
Peace of mind
Peace of heart
Peace of soul

Plant four rows of squash:
Squash gossip
Squash indifference
Squash grumbling
Squash selfishness

Plant four rows of lettuce:
Lettuce be faithful
Lettuce be kind
Lettuce be obedient
Lettuce really love one another

No garden is without turnips:
Turnip to help one another
Turnip to be a friend
Turnip to make a difference

We must also have thyme:
Thyme for God
Thyme for study
Thyme for prayer

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

Now that your garden is growing
and time to harvest, it will be thyme
to stir up this no fail recipe:

Lord fill my mouth
With worthwhile stuff.
And nudge me when
I've said enough

So many times I have worried
about what I am putting in my
mouth. But the truth of the
matter doesn't lie there. The real
concern should lie in what's
coming out of my mouth!
