While helping at food pantry, just doing very simple tasks of bringing groceries to a car, a woman with very little worldly goods gave me a cross that she had made. I keep that plastic cross weaved with multi-colored yarn in my car and smile every time I see it. Her kindness made an impact on me. I need to be helping in some way and giving back, not just enjoying the entertainment for to God reach into my life.

I think I read something about sowing and reaping somewhere in a really cool old book. Seemed like the Author was totally into that system.
