What are you Planting?

​* Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago. Warren Buffett
* Mr. Buffet is inspiring us to think beyond ourselves and to do big things that will benefit others. I have heard on more than one occasion a paraphrase of Galatians 6:7 "that you reap what you sow." That quote was not always being used in a positive light and was usually aimed at poor behavior and the outcomes of poor choices. How might I take the Galatians paraphrase and view it in a positive light? For me, I must "Begin with the end in mind" Habit #2 from Stephen Covey. I must be very clear and know that the end result is being sought to produce a positive outcome. I must also know that I may not be the direct benefactor of the outcome. So when does all of this focused, intentional, "Begin with the end in mind" positivity start? I'll answer the question with another question: "When is the best time to plant an oak tree?" short answer - today! Let's get started right now asking ourselves what might "I" do today that is beyond me and bigger than me. What type of seed will I plant regardless of who enjoys the harvest?
Grace and Peace.
