“The LORD will indeed give what is good,
and our land will yield its harvest.”
~ Psalm 85:12 ~



What to plant in your garden:


Plant three rows of squash:


1. Squash gossip – James 3:6
2. Squash criticism – Matthew 7:4
3. Squash indifference – Matthew 22:5


Plant three rows of peas:


1. Purity – II Corinthians 7:1
2. Patience – James 5:7
3. Perseverance – I Corinthians 15:58


Plant six rows of lettuce:


1. Let us be unselfish and loyal – Matthew 16:24
2. Let us be faithful to duty – Luke 19:17
3. Let us search the scriptures – Acts 17:11
4. Let us not be weary in well doing – Galatians 6:9
5. Let us be obedient in all things – John 14:23
6 Let us love one another – I John 4:7


No garden is complete without turnips:


1. Turn up for church, prayer meetings, Bible study – Hebrews 10:25
2. Turn up with a smile even when things are difficult – Proverbs 17:22
3. Turn up with determination to do your best for God – Romans 12:1


Plant as directed:


God will supply the sunshine, the rain and will give the bounty.

“Let us not become weary in doing good, 
for at the proper time
we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
~ Galatians 6:9 ~

If you’d like a name added to the prayer list, please let me know. Names are kept for one week, around the world people are praying.

    Those are all good lessons. Thank you!
    I know I don't need to add this, but please everyone, keep praying for our country. If we get a real President & other Christian leaders next time, he is going to have a dickin's of a time getting us back to the Constition and a good economy again.
    God bless. ~:)
