Plant four rows of peas.

    Prayer

    Penitence

    Patience

    Preparation

Plant four rows of squash.

    Squash gossip

    Squash indifference

    Squash criticism

    Squash negative thinking

Plant four rows of turnips.

    Turn up for Church

    Turn up whenever needed

    Turn up with a friendly smile

    Turn up with determination to be a better person

Plant four rows of lettuce.

    Let us soar to new heights

    Let us come together in harmony

    Let us share God's love, and

    Let us practice forgiveness

Enjoy the harvest!

God’s Valentine gift of love to us
Was not a bunch of flowers;
It wasn’t candy, or a book
To while away the hours. 

His gift was to become a man,
So He could freely give
His sacrificial love for us,
So you and I could live. 

He gave us sweet salvation, and
Instruction, good and true–
To love our friends and enemies
And love our Savior, too. 

So as we give our Valentines,
Let’s thank our Lord and King;
The reason we have love to give
Is that He gave everything.

Take twelve whole months.
Clean them thoroughly of all bitterness,
Hate, and jealousy.
Make them just as fresh and clean as possible.
Now cut each month into twenty-eight, thirty, or thirty-one different parts,
But don’t make up the whole batch at once.
Prepare it one day at a time out of these ingredients.
Mix well into each day one part of faith,
One part of patience, one part of courage,
And one part of work.
Add to each day one part of hope,
Faithfulness, generosity, and kindness.
Blend with one part prayer, one part meditation,
And one good deed.
Season the whole with a dash of good spirits,
A sprinkle of fun, a pinch of play,
And a cupful of good humor.
Pour all of this into a vessel of love.
Cook thoroughly over radiant joy,
Garnish with a smile,
And serve with quietness, unselfishness,
And cheerfulness.
You’re bound to have a happy new year.

Angels are all around.
Though they don’t make a sound.
We never see their brilliant wings.
And on their arrival no one sings.
We don’t hear any trumpets blazing.
But their deeds are still amazing.

They can be the face of a stranger.
When we are faced with mortal danger.
They can be the face of a true friend.
When we just want our life to end.
Helping us smile when feeling down.
When we feel like we’re about to drown.

They can be the face of a family member.
When we don’t want to remember.
When we just don’t know how to cope.
Showing us that there’s always hope.
They can be the face of you and I sometimes too.
Returning the kindness someone once showed you.

So when we feel like it’s us against the world.
When life’s threads seem to come unfurled.
When we feel like we just can’t go on.
When a loved one has passed or gone.
When we’re buried in our own sorrow.
When we don’t want to see tomorrow.

An angel will be there.
To show us they care.

Time passes.

Life happens.

Distance separates.

Children grow up.

Jobs come and go.

Love waxes and wanes.

Men don’t do what they’re supposed to do.

Hearts break.

Parents die.

Colleagues forget favors.

Careers end.

BUT……..

Sisters are there,

no matter how much time and how

many miles are between you.

A girl friend is never farther away

than needing her can reach.

When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you

have to walk it by yourself, the women in your life

will be on the valley’s rim, cheering you on,

praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on

your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the 

valley’s end.

Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk

beside you…Or come in and carry you out.

Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters,

daughters-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law, Mothers,

Grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins, and extended

family, all bless our life!

The world wouldn’t be the same without women, and

neither would I. When we began this adventure called

womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or

sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much we

would need each other.

Every day, we need each other still.
