While at conference, a director in my ED's downline mentioned to a cluster mate of mine that for her July meeting she was going to take a packet of pumpkin seeds and attach a verse and give them to her team. The verse was going to compare planting your pumpkin seeds and it takes it 90 days to grow, so plant them now in July, so they would be ready to harvest in October, is just like planting seeds in your business now, because what you do today for your business will affect how your business will be in 90 days. (KWIM?).

Can anyone help me with a catchy verse? I told my director's sister director's (who do the meetings together) that I would do this for tonight's meeting. I am going to attach a printout of the SA Pumpkin Dish too.
 
What a great idea! Sorry, I'm no help though...not very poetic!! :p
 
Cool idea...and as you watch the seeds grow, you remember to sow your business also!
