Sowing Seeds

 

Every man in business,

invests a little to have over much.

Just as every farmer sows a seed,

to reap manifold.

The wise does so without being told,

and the saint gives without expecting rewards.

 

Make Use Of Every Opportunity To Give

In the morning sow your seed, and at evening withhold not your hand, for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good. Ecclesiastes 11:6

For you do not know what evil will be on the earth.
