Considering Seed Sowing for Blessings…
First do not confuse seeds with tithing, which is not under the new order of Grace that speaks of cheerful giving from the heart and ends the old law and ways. Tithing actually should also be known for sharing of anything such as service, time, volunteering, fund-raising events, kind acts, stating blessings of kindness towards others, prayers for others, any charity etc. Seeds are entirely different. It is the concept that in planting with intent, the intent grows with what you sow. In scripture, even tears are seeds that sow and later reap in harvest of joy for balance. A seed can be a charitable act from the heart, money given, blessings made in faith given from the heart for others, prayers for others, even heartfelt intentions to do or give, and actual planting for the symbolism; also anything you do in service to the good of others, the greater good or for service to your faith and your belief in the Divine etc. The idea is that seeds multiply or ensure blessings into tangible manifestations for anything good that is hoped, wished or spoken for the life of the giver. It is a long standing principle that what you give returns to you in expected and unexpected ways, often multiplied back to you. The same generosities, services, sharing, praying, blessing, heartfelt intentions, and acts of kindness are thought to help maintain blessings. You may not always reap back exactly what you sow, because you receive what you need first. Seeds should always be sown from the heart. The act of support and giving is superior to the idea of taxing (tithes).
I have always heart-fully held the idea that support, donation, and service is a better notion than to say tithe. My family heritage spoke of acts of service for the church instead of necessarily giving money, which could possibly be too high minded a thought.
Brightest Blessings!
