"The Prophet Said to . . .

Plant a garden, so that's what we'll do.
For God has given rich brown soil, the rain and sunshine too.
And if we plant the seeds just right and tend them carefully,
Before we know, good things will grow to feed our family."
That's what we were going to do for FHE this week, but I was too tired and the kids were already in their pajamas. So, instead we chose to play Boggle - family night style. That means after each round we had to pick one of our words and turn it into a gospel principle.
  • salt - We need to be the "salt of the earth" and show a good example to others
  • wo - We don't want to hear "wo unto you" for lying or stealing or anything
  • goal - We should set goals and try to improve ourselves
  • wars - In the last days there will be lots of wars
  • learn - We should always be learning new things
  • tower - We should listen to the prophet on the watchtower
  • wait - We need to develop patience and wait for the Lord's timing
  • sole - Christ should be our sole, or only, foundation

But since I had purchased the tomato plants and seeds on Monday, that still had to be taken care of. We have yet to have success making anything grow in Florida - at least not vegetables, the weeds are coming out of our ears. I think it has something to do with the backwards seasons. You're supposed to plant carrots and beans in May, not September. Anyway, we'll keep trying. Maybe this year is our lucky year!

Love the Boggle idea! We haven't played that game in years. We've never had success planting anything, anywhere. Good luck!
