Garden and Nature
Inspirations

Don't sail out further than you can row back.
--Danish Proverbs

The water is the same on both sides of the boat.
--Finnish Proverb

After three days, both fish and guests begin to smell.
--Danish Proverb

The twigs are rarely better than the trunk.

Our hearts are our gardens of discovery.
What will you discover in your heart's garden?
--Ardath Roddle

Time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once.

To plant a seed and wait is to believe.

Tackle problems by their roots--
Otherwise you are just pruning your weeds.

Smile--  Life is a gift.

God smiles at us through flowers.

May the seeds of our faith, planted in prayers, bring forth life and grow our children into big people who follow after God's heart."
--Stormie Omartian

God's Flower Garden- Isaiah 58:11
The Lord will guide you always;
He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
And will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden
Like a spring whose waters never fail.

Warm sunlight, sweet smelling flowers glowing with colors.
Funny furry friends that warm our hearts.
No wonder I often think of our Earth as a kind friend.
--Susan

It takes both rain and sunshine to make a rainbow!

Many eyes go through the meadow,
But few see the flowers.

Please excuse the mess,
'cause cleaning while kids are growing
is like shoveling snow when it's snowing!

Children are the flowers in the garden of life.

She who plants a garden--
Plants love.

"I thank you for this day of life
for feet to walk amidst the trees
for hands to pick the flowers from the earth
for a sense of smell to breathe in the sweet perfumes of nature
for a mind to think about and appreciate
the magic of everyday miracles
for a spirit to swell in joy."
--Marian Wright Edelman
From the book, "Guide My Feet"

Use the talents you possess,
For the woods would be very silent
If birds sang except the best.
--Henry Van Dyke

Children are flowers in the garden of life.

She who plants a garden--
Plants love.

To love and be loved
is like being warmed by the sun
from both sides.
