The Garden
Peter gives us seven virtues which some look at as seven steps or seven beads on a string. However, I prefer to see them as seven flowers in a garden. The base is faith and these seven virtues grow from that base into a beautiful garden. So it is not that when we achieve one of these virtues that we can start on another but rather they all grow together and it is as they grow and bloom together that the beauty is seen.

I met a lady who only likes one type of flower. She has irises growing in her garden but when they have completed blooming she tears them all up and then she has no flowers in her garden. The beauty of gardens is often their diversity.
