\u201cGod’s Garden\u201d
\nAuthor Unknown<\/p>\n
Plant three rows of peas:
\nPeace of mind
\nPeace of heart
\nPeace of soul<\/p>\n
Plant four rows of squash:
\nSquash gossip
\nSquash indifference
\nSquash grumbling
\nSquash selfishness<\/p>\n
Plant four rows of lettuce:
\nLettuce be faithful
\nLettuce be kind
\nLettuce be obedient
\nLettuce really love one another.<\/p>\n
You will have no garden without turnips:
\nTurnup for meetings
\nTurnip for service
\nTurnup to help one another<\/p>\n
Water freely with patience and cultivate with love.
\nThere is much fruit in your garden
\nBecause you reap what you sow<\/p>\n
To conclude our garden,
\nwe must have thyme:
\nThyme for God – Thyme for study
\nThyme for prayer<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I pray that you smiled as you read through this little poem. I did! But more importantly, I pray that if you read something that needs work on your part, that you will not allow another day to pass without asking God to help you make the change in your life.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I would be happy to pray for you today if you have a specific request. Just let me know.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cMay the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.\u201d<\/em> (Romans 15:13 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to try something different on Thursday\u2019s. There are some talented poets who have written some remarking works about God and our relationship with Him. So today, I introduce Today\u2019s Touch. I don\u2019t know how it will play out for certain. Only time will tell.

<\/a>I don\u2019t know how it will play out for certain. Only time will tell. But I want Thursday\u2019s to be encouraging and uplifting to you as a follower of Christ. I want Thursday\u2019s to spur you to action. I want you to know that God has a beautiful plan for your life. And I think poetry just might hit a spot that I\u2019ve been missing.<\/p>\n
