Plant three rows of peas:
Peace of mind
Peace of heart
Peace 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 obedient
Lettuce really love one another
No garden would be complete without turnips:
Turnip for meetings
Turnip for service
Turnip to help one another
Water freely with patience and Cultivate with love.
There is much fruit in your garden because you reap what you sow.
To conclude our garden.......We must have thyme:
Thyme for God
Thyme for study
Thyme for prayer
I got a dozen roses, From a friend the other day; But I only have 1 left, For I gave them all away. I gave one to my sister, Who to me is very dear, In hopes that it will bring to her A little floral cheer. I took one to a friend Who's not feeling very well; The flower or the visit - Which helped more I could not tell. One went to a friend I haven't known for very long. She struggles, so in some small way I hope this helps her carry on. The rest went to the ones Who've helped me in so many ways; They have been a cheerful presence On my very dreary days. The roses were so pretty I just could not keep them all, Except one single bud standing Beautiful and tall. My friend gave me the flowers To help brighten up my day, But the biggest joy I received Was in giving them away. This one is for you Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us. Show your friends how much you care...
Engineering versus Management
A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts: "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised my friend I would meet him half an hour ago, but I don't know where I am." The man below says: "Yes. You are in a hot air balloon, hovering approximately 30 feet above this field. You are between 40 and 42 degrees N. latitude, and between 58 and 60 degrees W. longitude." "You must be an engineer" says the balloonist. "I am" replies the man. "How did you know?" "Well" says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost." The man below says "You must be a manager." "I am" replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?" "Well", says the man, "you don't know where you are, or where you are going. You have made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are in the exact same position you were in before we met, but now it is somehow my fault."
