From little things, big things grow.

In this garden, sow a variety of seeds.

Sow generously to reap abundantly.

Plant three rows of peas:

Peace of mind

Peace of the heart

Peace of the soul

Plant four rows of squash:

Squash gossip

Squash indifference

Squash grumbling

Squash selfishness

Plant five rows of turnips:

Turnip for fellowship

Turnip to serve

Turnip to volunteer

Turnip to help one another

Turnip even when it’s inconvenient

Plant six rows of lettuce:

Lettuce be joyful

Lettuce be thankful

Lettuce be faithful

Lettuce be kind

Lettuce be patient

Lettuce love one another deeply from the heart

Plant seven rows of thyme:

Thyme for God

Thyme for family

Thyme for friends

Thyme to pray

Thyme to appreciate

Thyme to learn

Thyme to rest and rejuvenate

Prune out pride, arrogance, and self-centredness,

Weed out worries, anxieties, and worst-case scenarios.

Fertilise with courage.

Water freely with songs of praise!

Don’t give up.

Wait with confidence.

Trust in God’s timing.

From little things, big things grow.

God will bring forth a harvest for His Glory.
