Thought's from my garden, 9-4-05
Sand
Clay
Compost turned to mud
Minerals bathed in water

Lifeless and void, yet
So very precious to life itself
Essential building blocks
one dependant upon the other

Without the four aforementioned ingredients
Frog, Fish and Fauna would not exist

[^]

Families are essentially of the same system
A family can not prosper as a unit, as a whole
without each individual supplying it's own ingredient

Unfortunately, all too often families are not given the building blocks
which to work with in building a strong and vibrant garden of fruit-bearing children.



A piece of advice I was once given by a master gardner


A weed is merely anything you deem which does not belong growing in a particular area
I included the above quote because I believe it can be applied to each of our lives.
Something, anything which is out of place/balance and does not appear to be natural in your future growth potential, is a weed and it is up to you alone to allow it to remain and choke the life from your future or remove it so that it does not hinder your progress in becoming as fruitful as Allah has granted you this one chance to be .

I like this.

... so profound and unique.

Lets get weeding.........pull out those pesky weeds and let the garden of our life grow into a beautiful palace

Lets get weeding.........pull out those pesky weeds .......... !

A grand concept which works well when an individual applies it to their own self , ~ alone.
Unfortunately, more often than not many people attempt to pull what they deem a weed
from anothers garden without permission.

Make not the mistake of trying to pluck a mote out of your brother's eye when there is a beam in your own eye. Having first cast the beam out of your own eye, you can the better see to cast the mote out of your brother's eye.

I hate weeds, esp when you use the weed killer and yet some keep coming back for more... bloody pesky weeds! :mad:

How did you guess? Well I tried to give it back to the shop owners but they wouldn't accept it, so much for money back guarantee, and it was so cr@p i threw it in the trash can never to see it again, only probably the next door neighbours kid must have looked through the trash can and pulled it out.


Pesky weeds and pesky kids.

Consider the life-force of a man's soul to be akin to a freshly emerging seedling.
Without providing the proper soil, nutrients and maintenance, it may grow wild and unwieldy.
