If I were planning a flower garden of color, texture, and form, my first step would be to prepare the ground for planting. So I would pull up any weeds that might later interfere with the growth of the flowers, knowing that weeding only on time will not be enough. To ensure the growth of my flowers, I weed my garden regularly.

The same holds true in the garden of my sould where thoughts and faith come together to form a spirituality that nourishes and sustains me. If I continue to weed my mind of hurt feelings and angry thoughts, then I am clearing the way for positive images to grow and flourish.

It is true--love and understanding will come forth as I free my thoughts and prepare the way for positive living.

"Keep your heart with all vigilance,
for from it flow the springs of life."
--Proverbs 4:23
