- "A Special Mixture"
Friendship is a special mix: One smile of cheer, A listening ear, One hand to hold, A love that's bold, No knead for dough, Just knead to know - 'Til my life's end - You are my friend.
Stout, Ruth
Working in the garden gives me something beyond enjoyment of the senses. It gives me a profound feeling of inner peace. There is no rush toward accomplishment, no blowing of trumpets. Here is the great mystery of life and growth. Everything is changing, growing, aiming at something, but silently, taking its time.
Henry Van Dyke
These are the things I prize and hold of dearest worth: the light of sapphire skies, peace of the silent hills, shelter of the forest, comfort of the grass, music of birds, murmur of little rills, shadows of clouds that swiftly pass, and, after showers, the smell of flowers and of the good brown earth - and best of all, along the way, friendship and mirth.
Smith, Alexander
My garden, with its silence and pulses of fragrance that come and go on the airy undulations, affects me like sweet music. Care stops at the gates, and gazes at me wistfully through the bars.
Wilkinson, Bruce
- A Life God Rewards
I grew up understanding only part of what the link shows. I knew that what I believed on earth would affect where I spent eternity. But I assumed that my actions (once the issue of my belief was resolved) would not have a direct consequence on what heaven would be like for me. You can see that I applied the link to my faith but not to my actions. Let me ask you, do you believe your choices today are directly linked to what you will experience in your eternity?
