The Garden of Your Soul
This weeks Tailfeather is a reminder that we are more than just flesh and bone but we are also living souls. Take time each day to nourish your soul. We eat several times a day to nourish our bodies shouldn’t we at least spend the same amount of time at the Lord’s table? Why not everytime you sit at the dinner table you also take time to partake of the Lord’s table? Be sure to read His word and meditate upon it, allowing it to water the soil of your soul.
There is a Garden of the Soul,
Where God plants loving seeds
That faith and grace will nourish
Into blooms of loving deeds.
Within this Garden of the Soul
Fruits of the Spirit grow;
And they produce new seeds of love
Which you and I can sow.

Prayers and Poems
“Listen! A farmer went to plant seed. Some seeds were planted along the road, and birds came and devoured them. Other seeds were planted on rocky ground, where there wasn’t much soil. The plants sprouted quickly because the soil wasn’t deep. When the sun came up, they were scorched. They didn’t have any roots, so they withered. Other seeds were planted among thornbushes. The thornbushes grew up and choked them, and they didn’t produce anything. But other seeds were planted on good ground, sprouted, and produced thirty, sixty, or one hundred times as much as was planted.” He added, “Let the person who has ears listen!” Mark 4:3-9
