"good works and acts of mercy"
Basil of Caesarea refers to Dorcas as an example in his Morals (
Dorcas is a fine example of how we are to meet the needs of those around us.
Christians are to have “religion that God our Father accepts” is “to look after orphans and widows in their distress” (James 1:27).
We also see in the story of Dorcas how the Body of Christ functions as a whole.
We are united in Christ, and the believers in Joppa mourned the loss of Dorcas as a close family member.
“There should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.
If one part suffers, every part suffers with it” (1 Corinthians 12:25–26).
Dorcas was one of their own, and her absence left a huge void in their lives.

John 11 “Be generous, and someday you will be rewarded” (CEV).
Casting bread or sowing seed on water seems to be an exercise in futility.
But you don’t know what the actual results will be,
doing as much good as you can, knowing two things:
the results are in God’s hands, and you don’t know when you yourself will be in need of someone else’s generosity.
God is merciful, he pardons us and that we should cast our sins into the sea
in faith, to start afresh
The New Year was the beginning of the cycle of sowing, growth, and harvest; the harvest, which is exactly what Jesus is saying in this text.
You don’t know whether what you do will either produce a good harvest or something will spoil the fruit or grain
