A Church Garden

First, plant five rows of peas:
Presence
Promptness
Preparation
Purity
Perseverance.

Next to these, plant three rows of squash:
Squash gossip.
Squash criticism.
Squash indifference.

No garden is complete without turnips:
Turn up for meetings.
Turn up with a smile.
Turn up with new ideas.
Turn up with determination to make everything count for something good and worthwhile.

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.”  Colossians 3:23
