Received this as part of a longer e-mail today, and thought I'd pass it along.
 

"If you plant honesty, you will reap trust.
If you plant goodness, you will reap friends.
If you plant humility, you will reap greatness.
If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment.
If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective.
If you plant hard work, you will reap success.
If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation.

So, be careful what you plant now; it will determine what you will reap later.
What we are is God's gift to us; what we become is our gift to God."

Hold on to what is good even if it is a
handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe in even if it is a
tree that stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do even if it is a
long way from here.
Hold on to life even if it is easier
letting go.
Hold on to my hand even when I have
gone away from you.
