I love the sayings
I love the sayings:
'Sow a thought,
reap an action.
Sow an action,
reaps a habit.
Sow a habit,
reaps a character.
Sow a character,
reaps a life.'
- What goes out will come back (boomerang effect.)
- If you plant beans, you get beans. If you plant melon, you get melon
- Better to die well than to be born well.
- Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows
Once a child asked me, "Why do you have to make everything a lesson?" I wish I knew how to answer her to her satisfaction.
Now that I am older and have seen enough 'life,' I would like to say to her, "It is because I want to have peace in the last few years of my life when most of me will be falling apart."
The followings are lessons I gleaned from other people's lives:
A lovely couple who both had hard feelings in God due to the early part of their lives, decided to make it out on their own. The later part of their lives were even harder than what was previously.
A man who short changed his partners after making use of them, abandoned and distrusted those whom he was supposed to love and to support. In the end was abandoned by 'his most trusted friends 'and lives out a lonely life in the corner of his own making.
A girl who ridiculed her young widowed mother's faith, made many wrong decisions which affect her own life. She also experienced many sickness and death among those whom she love because of her bias counselling to them.
A self-centred girl who had the practice of saying unkind words to her siblings and others, grew up to do the same thing to her own family. Now others have to leave her to her own device. She complaints being very lonely bitterly..
A God fearing couple who shared the love of Jesus to everyone around them, even strangers, live to see their family and great grand children around them affectionately.
A woman who used others, was in turn used by them . She had a beautiful place to live, but she could not feel it 'home.'
A couple, whose goals in life was to make lots of money and to enjoyed 'good food', has in the end, gained the two but lost each other.
Another couple whose goal was to acquire power, fame and money ended up in disarray in finance, health and relationship.
A hard working couple, whose priorities are their jobs, family and big house they owned, both died in their 50's.
Yet, I believe it was not out of anger God let that happened, but out of love, to give them opportunities to find out what is important in life.
'Lord, teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.' (Psalm 90:12)
