Plant three rows of Squash:
Squash Gossip
Squash Criticism
Squash Indifference

Plant three rows of Peas:
Purity
Patience
Perseverance

Plant four rows of Lettuce:
Let us be Kind
Let us be Faithful
Let us be Obedient
Let us Love one another

No Garden is complete without Turnips:
Turn up for Meetings
Turn up for Service
Turn up to lend a Helping Hand

To conclude our planting,
We must have Thyme:
Thyme for God
Thyme for Study
Thyme for Prayer

Water freely with Patience and Cultivate with Love.
There is much fruit in Your Garden.
Because you Reap what you Sow.

The world is god’s garden.
We are here for a short time.
Let us be thankful for having the privilege of the visit.

I’ve a warm and friendly feeling
As I think of you today;
And I wish that we could visit,
But you’re many miles away.

Separated by such distance,
Yet your letters bring you near;
Through the miles we share a friendship
That’s become to me most dear.

Friends through correspondence only;
Still, your face I need not see
For your soul shines through the pages
Every time you write to me.

You’ve a special way of writing,
Warming as the sunshine rays,
Bringing joy and inspiration,
Letter brightening up my days.

You’ve enriched my life, my dear one,
And I’m glad God willed we meet,
“Friendship’s Road” is that much nicer
Traveling it with one so sweet.

Blessed are those who take the time
To listen to difficult speech,
For you help me to know that
if I persevere, I can be understood.

Blessed are you who never bid me to hurry up
or take may tasks from me
For my failures will be outweighed
By the times I surprise you and myself

Blessed are you who ask for my help
For my greatest need is to be needed.

Blessed are you who understand that it is
difficult for me to put thoughts into words.

Blessed are you who with a smile encourage
me to try once more.

Blessed are you who never remind me that today
I ask the same questions twice

Blessed are you who respect me and love me
just as I am.
