Take care of your garden and keep out the weeds; fill it up with sunshine, kind words, and kind deeds.

From 1 Thessalonians 5:20-22:  “Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast to what is good; abstain from every form of evil.”

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) was an American poet and educator.  Born in Portland, Maine, he has long been remembered for being one of New England’s fireside poets.
