Pass it On

“Those who go forth . . . carrying sacks of seed, will return with cries of joy, carrying their bundled sheaves” (Psalms 126:6). I am like Johnnie Appleseed: I sow good intentions everywhere I go, trusting that the good I freely share always comes home to me multiplied. Jesus reminds us, “One sows and another reaps.” I enjoy the roses blooming along my Path that were planted by others who walked this way before me. It is “my business” to keep the good moving along: Doing good is good business and good practice for a good life. Sure, sometimes it may not seem that the good we are trying to do is really “doing any good.” But St. Paul encouraged us to hang in there: “Let us not grow tired of doing good, for in due time we shall reap our harvest, if we do not give up. So then, while we have the opportunity, let us do good to all” (Galatians 6:9-10). Every little thought, every little word, every little action, given in unconditional love, will multiply blessings both for the giver and for the receiver. So, pass it on!
