The Garden of Daily Living

I found this in a monthly Biblical publication I get called “The Berean Searchlight. I thought this was a really neat piece and worth sharing.

How To Plant a Garden of Daily Living

For the garden of your daily living, plant three rows of peas:

Peace of mind
Peace of heart
Peace of soul

Plant three rows of squash:

Squash gossip
Squash indifference
Squash selfishness

Plant four rows of lettuce:

Lettuce be faithful
Lettuce be kind
Lettuce be patient
Lettuce really love one another

No garden should be without turnips:

Turnip for meetings
Turnip for service
Turnip to help one another

To complete our garden, we must have thyme:

Thyme for each other
Thyme for family
Thyme for friends

Water freely with patience and cultivate with love.

    1. This is the version that I copied from the publication. When I looked online I found that there were some variations of it, most were to get rid of the “religious” lines. No surprise there I suppose. I thought it was something that really hit home.
