Another year begins

- by Debra Anchors


In our gardens this year, may we all

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 full without turnips: 
Turnip for meetings 
Turnip for service 
Turnip to help one another

To complete our garden, we must have thyme: 
Thyme for God 
Thyme for study 
Thyme for prayer

Water freely with patience and cultivate with love.

I am sending you my best wishes of renewal, prosperity, joy and love in this new year. May this be the first of many joyful days to come.

Leave a legacy, but garden like you’ll live forever!
