While compiling the 75 year anniversary of the South African wool, newspaper I was
struck by the vision of the founders and the role-players in the wool industry.
They were planting seeds in order for us to reap the harvest today. All the current changes made me once again think
of the law of sowing and reaping which is universal.
This law has been designed to work in every area of life.
It epitomizes stewardship by asking: "What seed are you planting
today?
The world around us is in a constant cycle of sowing and
reaping.
This "law of seeding" carries over to our moral
lives. Gossip, selfishness, pride and jealousy are immoral seeds. A few
careless words blown by the wind can sprout ill will like a field of weeds. And
when we envy others, we're sowing the seeds of discontent within our own
souls-spending too much money, working too hard, suffering from high blood
pressure. "Don't be misled:
The person who plants selfishness harvest a crop of weeds. We will harvest a good crop if we don't give up, or quit.
The universal law of seeding applies to all of life. Want to
reap an eternal harvest of happiness, productivity?
Sow the right seed. Decide on the future you'd like to have,
then sow accordingly.
