honored two of us Grand Representatives with this clever program. Sister
Mary (British Columbia & Yukon) and I were taken to several stations
where we were presented with flower bulbs or a garden tool and a verse
was read. Here are some pictures of the resulting blooms, and the
passages that were chosen. |
 |
We plough the fields and scatter/ the good
seed on the land/but it is fed and watered by God's almighty hand/He
sends the snow in winter/the warmth to swell the grain/the breezes and
the sunshine/and soft refreshing rain. |
|
|
 |
Plant a seed called friendship In the
corner of your soul's garden. Nurture it every day and it will blossom
into something beautiful. |
|
|
 |
We should so live and labour in our time
that what came to us as seed, may go to the next generation as blossom,
and what came to us as blossom, may go to them as fruit. -Henry Ward
Beecher |

 |
While the Earth remains, seedtime and
harvest and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night
shall not cease. -God's promise to Noah |
|
|
|
 |
| Kind deeds are seeds/The Lord gives us to
sow/from which the lovely blossoms/of love and kindness grow. |
 |
There's nothing common under the sun/the
skies, the sea, or the sod/There's a purpose in life for everything/For
everything's made by God. |
 |
|
|
Kindness like grain increases by sowing. The flowers of
all our tomorrows are in the seeds of today. |
 |
|
|
Friendships are like flowers whose seeds, if nurtured by
love and care, can bloom for a lifetime. |
 |
The mind is a garden/where thought flowers grow/the
thoughts that we think/are the seeds that we sow. |
|
|
 |
Do your best, tho' it be little; plant your
seeds each day; You may not see them growing, they may even fly away;
But seeds have ways of spreading love and truth around - there's many a
seed with be scattered on rich and fertile ground! |
 |
| Man without God is a seed upon the wind. |
