"HOW IS YOUR GARDEN GROWING?"

WE'VE BEEN WORKING THIS WEEK IN THE GARDEN.. (sort of between rains)

 It surely needed our attention, without a doubt! It has rained so much lately that the weeds kinda got ahead of us.. NO, not tall weeds.. but zillions of them! I hated seeing that too.. Bad enough that the ole groundhogs and bunnies were eating their share PLUS.. Once again they destroyed every bean we planted! And once again.. they destroyed every cucumber plant we planted ... UGGG! Aggravation! But, maybe things will get better.. "LETS MAKE A DEAL, YOU PRAY FOR OUR GARDEN.. AND THAT THE CRITTERS WILL GO AWAY, AND WE WILL PRAY FOR YOURS..." DEAL? (anyway, the next pic at

this point is "wishful thinking" but at least our tomato plants are doing well.. NO, this pic is NOT OUR GARDEN!) but our tomatoes are tall, green, and very full.. thankfully.. "thank You GOD!"   

TRUTH IS, WE WERE PRAYING AND WILL REPLANT AND CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR BEANS.. WE'VE USED ALL THE BEANS WE HAD CANNED... LOVE THOSE CANNED BEANS! AND AHHH, THE GARDEN TOMATOES.. AND A BISCUIT AND BUTTER.. GIRL, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

==============================================

 THE FRIENDSHIP GARDEN...
To make your own Garden of Friendship:

Plant three rows of peas:

Peas of mind

Peas of heart

Peas 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 happy
Lettuce really love one another

No garden should be without turnips: Turnip for service when needed

Turnip to help one another Turnip the music and dance

Water freely with patience and Cultivate with love.

There is much fruit in your garden Because you reap what you sow.

To conclude our gardenWe must have thyme:

Thyme for fun Thyme for rest Thyme for ourselves

Pretty nice garden, don't you think?

LET GO AND LET GOD...
 To "let go" does not mean to stop caring,

it means I can't do it for someone else.
To "let go" is not to cut myself off,
it's the realization I can't control another.
To "let go" is not to enable,
but to allow learning from natural consequences.
To "let go" is to admit powerlessness,
which means the outcome is not in my hands.
To "let go" is not to try to change or blame another,
it's to make the most of myself.
To "let go" is not to care for,
but to care about.
To "let go" is not to fix,
but to be supportive.
To "let go" is not to judge,
but to allow another to be a human being.
To "let go" is not to be in the middle
arranging all the outcomes,
but to allow others to effect their destinies.
To "let go" is not to be protective,
it's to permit another to face reality.
To "let go" is not to deny, but to accept. To "let go" is not to nag, scold, or argue, but instead to search out my own shortcomings and correct them.

To "let go" is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as it comes, and cherish myself in it. To "let go" is not to criticize and regulate anybody, but to try to become what I dream I can be. To "let go" is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future.  To "let go" is to fear less,

and love more.

Don't just "let go" PRAY, FOR GUIDANCE AND HIS STRENGTH AND HELP " LET GO, AND LET GOD!"
