Yesterday I posted a little note on "Gossip" but somehow Natasha hasn't got it yet. If it doesn't make the list by Monday I'll repost.
Today G stands for Garden. I thought about this as I was leaving the temple this morning after doing 3 endowment sessions. Come to think of it the morning was spent by the time I left the temple, so correct that to 'this afternoon'. Anyway G stands for garden. That wonderful place where if we will just put the right conditions into place the Lord will provide a miracle. In a garden you must prepare the soil, water it, fertilize it and protect it from infestations of weeds. (One of my favorite rhyming axioms; A man of words and not of deeds is like a garden full of weeds.") And a garden needs rest. Mine is resting under two feet of snow just now. But in a few months, if I do my part the Lord will produce the great miracle of new life and beauty (I'm a flower man as much as a vegetable raiser. Another verse: Mistress Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?) How does your garden grow? If you put the conditions right, God will provide you a miracle of new life and beauty. Each of us is a garden waiting to produce beautiful flowers, sweet fruit and wholesome food, if we will just put the conditions right. Storms and droughts and whirlwinds may set us back for a season, but over a lifetime a lot of great produce can come from any well kept garden... or from any well ordered life that allows God to direct it.
