"WATCH YOUR GARDEN GROW"

Hi folks, this is Two Texas PawPaw. God knows where we are going tomorrow, next week, and next year. That's something we don't know. And I, for one, am so glad I don't. If right now I knew everything that faced me in the coming year, I would be scared to the point of sleeplessness. But God knows. How gracious of Him to lead us one step at a time. Proverbs 3:5 (trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding)-----Your family is like a garden, you plant the seeds and watch them grow. My poem this morning is entitled "Watch Your Garden Grow", and it goes like this:-----IT'S NOT TOO EARLY FOR A CHRISTMAS SONG, SO HANG THE MISTLETOE---VISION IN YOUR DREAMS TONIGHT, WINTERS FALLING SNOW---AND IN YOUR PRAYERS, THANK GOD ABOVE, FOR ALL THE SEEDS YOU SOW---AND THEN STAND BACK THIS CHRISTMAS AND WATCH YOUR GARDEN GROW---AND THROUGH THE WINDS OF THE SPRINGTIME SEASON, ON THROUGH THE SUMMER SUN---AND LEAVES FROM THE TREES OF THE AUTUMN BREEZE, WILL BRING JOY AND LAUGHTER AND FUN---THANK HEAVEN FOR THE FAMILY THAT YOU HAVE RAISED, AND THE PROMISES THAT GOD BESTOWS---AND START THE NEW YEAR WITHOUT ANY FEAR, AS YOUR GARDEN CONTINUALLY GROWS---AND WHEN IT'S OVER AND TIME TO GO HOME, IN YOUR HEART YOU WILL KNOW---IT WAS WORTH IT ALL, WINTER, SUMMER, SPRING AND FALL, TO WATCH YOUR GARDEN GROW---AND AS YOU WATCH THE ROSES BLOOM, AND STARS COME OUT AT NIGHT---YOU KNOW IN YOUR MIND, THAT ALL THIS TIME, THERE WAS NEVER A MORE BEAUTIFUL SIGHT---WHEN WE FINALLY GO TO SLEEP IN OUR FATHER'S KEEP, AND HE TELLS US IT'S TIME TO GO---REST ASSURED IN YOUR HEART, YOU HAD A LARGE PART, IN MAKING YOUR GARDEN GROW:-----This is Two Texas PawPaw, signing off, and, the good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise, I'll be back tomorrow.
