Cast Your Bread
By E. F. Hayward

Many times I've heard repeated this old saying tride and true,
"Cast your bread upon the waters. and it will return to you".
It may not come back tomorrow, you may have to wait awhile,
Don't despair, nor be impatient, wait and watch, and trust and smile.
For the law of compensation deals alike with one and all,
As you planted in the Springtime, you shall harvest in the Fall;
Every little act of kindness, every little work of praise,
Tho' forgotten for the moment, shall return in many days;
You may pray in faith believing, watch and wait, then pray again.
If the answer seems belated, you may think your prayers in vain;
If 'tis best that you should have it, you will get your heart's desire,
Just be patient, good, and trusting, and to noble things aspire;
Do, each day, some act that's noble, cheer some heart, dry someone's tears,
Your reward is sure and certain, as you'll find in after years.
Hayward, E. F. (Enos Franklin), 1866-1927
Poems from the North Woods
My review of this book.

I have been honored to have Poems from the North Woods in my collection of poetry books. It was a gift to me in 1972 by a friend. I grew-up in the north woods of Minnesota in the wilderness country of Kabetogama Lake, and can related to the log cabin philosophy of Hayward. His musings have been inspiring and uplifting for me through the years.
Hayward shared his knowledge, wisdom, and his faith in his writings. He also shared his view of the world, and his great love for the silence and beauty of nature and animals, and of his dear wife, friends, and family. He was a man of faith and a reader of Scriptures that come through in many poems. If I had to pick a favorite poem from the book, I could not. If I had to pick a favorite book of poems, it would be this one.

Sower Sowing Seed Clipart
SEEDTIME AND HARVET

Remember, my friend, when sowing your seeds,
To choose with great care, every grain;
For in every field there are some noxious weeds,
Be earful, don't plant them again.
Select each seed with the greatest of care,
Cast out every one that is bad;
When harvest time comes, you'll have, as you share,
A field that will make your heart glad.
If careless of seed, your work's thrown away,
The harvest will show your mistakes;
Choose with care your words and acts every day,
Then note the difference it makes;
Kind words, and good acts, are seeds which will pay---
They will thrive, wherever they're sown;
All others are foul---you should throw them away,
And leave them forever alone.
Sower Clipart
"Give and it shall be given unto you." Luke 6:38
Casting is Sowing
Sower Sows the Seed Clipart
We cast our seed into a garden and expect a harvest, it is the law of sowing of reaping. "Whatever you sow, that shall you also reap." When we cast our bread upon the waters, or our deeds, we can expect a return. For every action there is a reaction, its a spiritual law that is in place. Kind of like, what goes up ... must come down.Download your own Sower Clipart at Clipart ETC in small, medium or large sizes.
Sowing and reaping is also called the law of attraction.

Meaning of "The Bread of Life"
Jesus Christ
The figurative interpretation is - the spiritual food for a full life. The phrase is used by the Christian church to refer to Jesus Christ.
The Origin of the Phrase:
Bible verse, John 6:35 ( King James Version )
"And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life. He that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst."
Apart from the Bible, the earliest reference to the phrase in literature is by Philip Stubbes in his The anatomie of abuses, 1583:
"To breeke the bread of life to their charges.""

- What a wonderful lens! I clicked on it because one of the first lens I wrote was based on the parable of the Mustard Seed. This is my faith at it's basis - that no matter what we keep sowing the seeds that we know will bear good fruit, and eventually they will.
