Reap What I Sow (DAY 1)

“Remind me of this with every decision,

 Generations will reap what I sow.
I could pass on a curse or a blessing to those I will never know...
To my great great great granddaughter, live in peace.
To my great great great grandson, live in peace...
Oh, LIVE IN PEACE!”

 Lyrics by Sara Groves

I think about them daily... a few times a day in fact- my children's children, my great-grandchildren, my great great grandchildren.

 I’m 38, and the mother of a 14, 13, and 10 yr old, the next generation’s grand entrance is a ways off.   Still, I think about them.  I have for years.   Sometimes I wonder if this is odd, but then I recall how I would think about my own children when I was just a teen.  I’d hope hard, and pray hard for them.  There was a Savior, Redemption, and embracing God's promise of abundant Life that, even as a child, I desperately wanted for them.  And now I consume the delicious fruit of those prayers offered in faith.

So here I am 38, compelled by God's Spirit to interceded for the generations that will come from me. Thinking of all the delicious fruit that can be harvested from these prayers offered in faith.

 For the next 31 days I will write to My Future (the generations that will follow me).

For the next 31 days I will plant words with hope that they will "pass on a blessing to those I may never know."  I will offer prayers for all my children to "live in Peace." (Peace means wholeness).

A few years ago I read that I am a God-Giver.  For the next 31days I will be intentional about giving-God to the future generations, with hopes that on this side of heaven, and on Glory's side, to "reap what I sow."
