REAPING THIS YEARS HARVEST
ACCEPT HARVEST OF WHAT HAS BEEN SOWN
WHILE LEARNING FROM THE PAST
WE MUST LIVE NOW, SOW NOW, LOOK TO FUTURE
WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR WE CANNOT CHANGE

A man reaps what he sows. 8 The one who sowsto please his sinful nature, from that nature will reapdestruction; the one who sows to please theSpirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the propertime we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do goodto all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
