Week 8
The flowers I will make in “the garden of my heart” for Jesus this week are:
SWEET SCENTED ROSES
I will make them by not being selfish!
"Dear Jesus, when you were a child like me, You were never selfish! I don't want to be selfish either. I want to be thoughtful and helpful to all the people in my life. Every time I do something good for another person, putting what is best for them ahead of my own selfish desires, I will be growing beautiful SWEET SCENTED ROSES in the 'garden of my heart' for You.
I hope You like my sweet scented roses, Jesus! They are probably the very hardest but most precious flowers to grow. "
This week's Scripture quote to write out and memorize:
"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends."
John 15:13
(The Gospel according to Saint John, chapter 15, verse 13)
