We really have no control over what comes to us from our parents. We didn’t pick our family. We didn’t pick our heritage. But how we leave this world is something different. We have influence on our legacy. We have responsibility on what we leave behind. What legacy do YOU want to leave behind?

Commitment. It’s not a word that is very popular today. Ads will frequently say: Free for 30 days - No commitment - No long term contract. This is a reflection of our culture as it celebrates the freedom of choice. However, on the topic of marriage relationships, commitment should be a treasured word. There is freedom in knowing that your life partner will be committed to you for infinite days.

Commitment - there is freedom in knowing that your life partner will stick with you in good times and bad.

Like the farmer, parents sow seeds. We plant seeds for growth in character and values. We sow rituals to foster traditions. Our children's hearts are the soil. Sometimes it is rocky. Sometimes shallow. Other times our seeds compete with the thorns of bad habits and negative culture. But there is always the HOPE that some seed will fall on good soil. We need to be faithful to continue sowing seeds AND nurture the soil.

Parents plant seeds. This is discipleship. Watering and feeding the soil nourishes the seedling to develop healthy roots.

In our imperfect world with our imperfect parenting, we won’t always get it right. Our conversations are far from Mary Poppins’ spoonful of sugar. Parenting fails are expected. However, every time we do it wrong (which we will) we have a chance to ask for forgiveness and start over. Each day is a new start and opportunity to plant new seeds.

ROOTS: Seeds Now - Harvest Later

Parents, we are planting seeds in our children every day of their lives. The harvest will come, but we just don’t know when. Sometimes is shows up quickly (crawling, talking, walking). Sometimes the harvest of talents or values does not come until well after children leave home. So, from age 0 to 18, our job is to plant many seeds and nurture what we can to “fill them up” so that when our kids start their our journey, they don’t start on empty.

Roots: Seeds Now – Harvest Later October 24, 2023October 24, 2023Marv We recently read that 75% of the parent-child time we spend with our kids in our lifetime will be spent by age 12. By the time they turn age 18, 90% of that time together is spent. As parents now equipped with this knowledge,...
