Which are you growing?

Your mind is your garden, your thoughts are your seeds. You can grow flowers or you can grow weeds.

My sister in law had this in a post I read earlier and I got to thinking about it. Our minds are like gardens, and Yes our thoughts are like seeds. Now, what do we do with those "seeds" thoughts that are in our "garden" mind.

So Your mind is your garden.... II Timothy 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." and I Timothy 4:15 "Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all."

These verse show us that we use our mind to study and if we study right things we are growing our "garden" to produce "flowers" good thoughts and right things. When we meditate on the Bible and on the preaching we are growing our "garden" to produce those "flowers" that will turn out the good thoughts that is in our mind.

May I ask what do you allow to enter your mind (garden)?
Do you allow garbage? curse words? bad TV shows? gossip? OR Do you allow good things? Christian fellowship? Songs of Christ? If you watch movies those that are made for family and w/out the rock music and foul language.
These are just a few things that we as Christians need to know if we're planting the right or wrong "seed" in our "garden".

Philippians 2:5 "Let this mind be in you, which is Christ Jesus;" With Christmas being here, what are we going to plant in our garden or the garden of others. Are you going to be negative, complain about this and that? OR will you be positive and make those around you glad that they get to spend Christmas with you.

Moms, we are the spirit of the home. Are we planting good in the gardens of our children? So they can plant good in the gardens of their friends.

Dads, you are the head of the home. Are you planting good in your wife's garden so she can plant good in your children's garden?

Just a few thoughts to ponder. "Your mind is your garden, and your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers or you can grow weeds."
