Whatever Your Religion, It All Comes Back To You

 

"As you sow, so shall you r eap."

From the Bible: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

—Galatians 6:7

 

UrbanDictionary.com gives the following definitions for "You Reap What You Sow":

1. Everything that you do has repercussions. It comes back to you one way or another.

2. You cannot escape the consequences of your actions. What you do comes back to you.

3. You will see the long-term effects of your actions.

4. KARMA - The total effect of a person's actions and conduct during the successive phases of the person's existence, regarded as determining the person's destiny, especially, in his next incarnation.

5. What goes around comes around.

6. Your actions all have consequences. Don't ever be fooled into thinking that your actions don't have consequences. Don't think you can get away with bad choices even if you don't seem to get caught. Remember verse seven tells us that God cannot be mocked. He sees it all. You reap what you sow.

Watch the way you live your life because you reap what you sow.

Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else.

    —  James M. Barrie

 

 

Sir James Matthew Barrie, 1st Baronet, O M (9 May 1860 – 19 June 1937) was a Scottish author and dramatist, best remembered today as the creator of Peter Pan. The child of a family of small-town weavers, he was educated in Scotland. He moved to London, where he developed a career as a novelist and playwright. There he met the LLewelyn Davies boys who inspired him in writing about a baby boy who has magical adventures in Kensington Gardens (included in The Little White Bird), then to write Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, a "fairy play" about this ageless boy and an ordinary girl named Wendy who have adventures in the fantasy setting of Neverland. This play quickly overshadowed his previous work and although he continued to write successfully, it became his best-known work. Barrie unofficially adopted the Davies boys following the deaths of their parents. Before his death, he gave the rights to the Peter Pan works to Great Ormond Street Hospital, which continues to benefit from them. (Wikiepedia)
