Your Flower Garden As the flowers in your garden As the flowers in your garden When the pedals drop one by one And, when your flower garden We will always cherish When we think of you – Ecclesiastes 3:1 Listen to what you say; Look at what you do; Do you hear kind words? Do you see thoughtful deed? Do you draw friends THIS IS ALL ABOUT YOUR PERSONALITY Proverbs 14:29 Proverbs 15:1
sprout above the earth in early spring;
WE’LL THINK OF YOU
take full bloom in the hot summer’s sun;
WE’LL THINK OF YOU
In the coolness of the autumn wind;
WE’LL THINK OF YOU
is at rest beneath the soft white snow;
WE’LL THINK OF YOU
As the cycle of the season
come around again;
WE’LL STILL BE THINKING OF YOU
your "precious memories"
close inside our hearts.
we’ll think of FLOWERS and BRIGHT SUNSHINE!
. . . a time to plant, and a time to
pluck up that which is planted;
Listen Then Look
Listen at how you say what you say.
Look at how you do what you do.
Do they encourage and ring
sweet melodies to your ears?
Are they uplifting –
helping others to their feet?
or chase them away?
He that is slow to wrath is of great undertanding: . . .
A soft answer turneth away wrath. . .

About the Book
INSPIRATIONS FOR FINDING PEACE AND HAPPINESS is a book of poetry and writings written with the purpose to encourage and enlighten individuals - letting them know that we as people face some of the same type of life situations. And, that if we have faith in Jesus Christ, we can find comfort in The Word of God. Each poem is accompanied by a scripture verse from the King James Bible version. And, each writing has a particular story for its writing. Hopefully, readers will read and study the scriptures further otherwise, just enjoy the poetry and writings. INSPIRATIONS FOR FINDING PEACE AND HAPPINESS is divided into five sections: SECTION I ---- "Quiet Meditation" is a well-balanced of poetry based on Christian growth and daily living. SECTION II ---"Reminiscing Through Time" is based upon general living encounters on which one may reflect. SECTION III ---- "A Message for the Occasion" has poetry for special occasions. SECTION IV ----- "A Thought to Consider" is a collection of my thoughts over time. As I experienced a situation through daily living, a thought would usually come to mind. SECTION V ---- "Comforting Scriptures " and "Calendar Journal" (2 years). This section of the book is basically self-explanatory. The journal may be used for recording rewarding experiences, Bible notes, etc. ***** "Footprints Behind," "Beauty in a Day" – "Beauty in a Moment," and "Dreams Do Come True" are just a few of the poems that paint a picture of peace and serenity.
About the Author
My motto for living happy is, "Share love and kindness this moment while you have the opportunity." Through prayer and meditation, I’ve learned better how to listen to my heart and gather spiritual wisdom and understanding. My Christian rearing and nurturing and a Bible teaching church are definitely positive assets to my daily living today. At a very young age I accepted Christ. And, through reading, studying and listening to the Word of God, I learned how to trust His teachings. -------- Luvenia R.
