Blame is a terrible game
Martin Luther King said there is enough to go around
The bloom comes off the rose bush
The thorn stays
Next year there will be blossoms
No need to uproot the plant
The fig tree did not produce
A few years went by
Some wanted to cut the tree down
Others fertilized the tree and cultivated around it
The tree produced a record crop
Christ’s cross was made out of dead wood
He provided eternal life through His sacrifice of death
We are all doomed to fall
It is human nature
What we do is get up and begin again
We have faith in what we have been taught
There is no excuse for complete failure
People everywhere offer help
Advice is not always something we want to receive
Our own methods have worked as far as we are concerned
One day we find ourselves alone
Then we take an inventory
Foolishness is something we can count over and over
It is not something we want to acknowledge
Resolving to make a change is paramount
What we thought impossible begins to transpire
We begin to bloom and look at life in a different way
People appear to glow when we encounter them
We have learned the art of cultivation
Faith is deep rooted
We have been moved
Life is a precious gift
