Friendship Flowers ..

Dear Friends

New friendship is like flowers growing in a garden.
They started out as little seeds,
That grew a mists the soil and weeds,
The more they are watered they more they grow.
Sometimes we plant and don't even know.
The "JOY" we bring to all who are there
In mists of God's garden with love and care
It is for His pleasure it is the reason we are there.
Each one of different each one of us rare

As the flowers grow from beneath the soil
We continue to labor and continue to toil
With labor of love to remove all the weeds
As new growth comes up from within the seeds
We tenderly nurture the tiny plants
Whose leaves sometimes look as though they dance
Maybe it’s their way of showing their Praise
To the Father of Heaven with their leaves raised
For the one who created their beauty and grace
For all who behold the love on their face

It is the purpose of the friendship to bring love.
It is just like the garden
 it needs watering, weeding and waiting,
patiently as it grows.
Just like garden it will not grow without the "Son",
or the watering of the Holy Spirit.
The Father created within us an eternal purpose.
He commanded us to Love one another.
It becomes a pure "JOY" when friends are like you.
Your courage stands out; you are a strong branch in God's Garden.
No branch becomes strong without being tested to make sure
it can hold its place in the vine.
God has a purpose and plan for us all.
The garden is His creation and He knew when He planted it
what would grow and what would be weeds.
Thank you for using your branches and reaching out to me.
As you have for so many others.
Be encouraged to remain willing and God will continue to use you.
A garden is a lot like God's creation
He created us for His enjoyment.
We are like seeds planted around, and throughout the earth.
He waters us with His Holy Spirit.
We nurture and feed off of each others love
that comes from the Father given to us by the Son.
That is God's purpose that is why it begun.
Who gets more enjoyment
the Gardner who planted the seeds,
The flowers who beautifully grow,
or the ones who look upon the garden.
With much Love, LisaMe

How does my Garden Grow?

With beautiful sister friends..
the Lord wants me to know
you were planted in my life ..
hand picked by Him.. Amen!
Love LisaMe!

What you plant is what you will grow..
It is important to ask and important to know...
Pulling up weeds.. is important too! ..
Even if they silently grew ..
It is time they go ..
And they already knew ..

Note: Written the morning that I was going to meet VickyD for coffee .. I did not know her very well this day.. in fact I had just recently met her ..It was April 2003 .. I had just found a pumpkin watering can at a garage sale .. we had just had cell at my home.. Ms Dottie had brought some brown mums .. I put them in that little pumpkin watering can .. that is when Friendship Flowers was birthed .. I sat and wrote it quickly on my computer ..  We have been friends since 2003.. I have been inspired to write her many things .. She was always willing to hear my writings ....I have watched her life.. be rearranged ..

All in the life of the garden ...plucked and planted .. Father knows best ... we all have to face life's test ..... big or little .. we must do what we can.. to keep the bugs out .. to cultivate our fruit .. The fruits of the Spirit  make it very clear to see ...

But the fruit of the Spirit 

is love, joy, peace, forbearance, 

kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 

gentleness and self-control.
