Happy First of Spring

Though spring is officially here, we are still feeling the wrath of winter. Many of you will find your Pussy Willow awakens us to the first days of spring. I have already witnessed the dafodills and crocus as they pushed through the ice to reveal the beauty of life and the renewal that only spring can grant us.

The Seeds of Friendship

Seeds God has planted here on earth cannot be measured by earthly worth. They were planted deeply in your heart by God's love placed there from the start.

Value your friends, honor their decisions, never try to make their dreams your revisions. Respect their feelings, never make demands, hold their love tightly in your hands.

Never be angry if you don't talk to them each day, for a heart can be loving even far away. Trust in friendship, send a piece of your heart, this is how friendship was intended from the start.

Hold their memory in your heart and mind, continue to love them all the time. See them for what they really are, true friends are angels sent from afar.

Garden Club Prayer

Help us, O God, to be mindful of the beauties around us. May we grow with our flowers in gentleness, patience, courage, laughter and religion.

As we turn the brown soil and plant our seed, may we learn faith, faith in the goodness of the earth, the clemency of the sun, the fullness of the clouds.

May we be grateful for the privelege of being a co-worker with God in the creation of even one tiny flower, and grant that we may know the great joy that comes from sharing with others.
