20 Years!

Have you ever looked at a large, old tree and wondered how long it has been there? It’s amazing to think that, at one point, that gigantic tree was merely a tiny seed.

In the same way, our words and actions are seeds; and we will always reap a harvest on what we sow. What are you sowing into the lives around you? What are you sowing into your future? Are you sowing encouragement, hope, blessing, and love? Then that’s what you’ll reap in the future. But if you’ve been sowing criticism, judgment, and anger, you’re probably already reaping a bad harvest.

I have reaped a very great harvest, 21 + years ago today my wife and I met. 20 years ago on this date we were married it has been humbling and awesome. The seed we planted many years ago has grown and thrived, we are more in love today and it grows tremendously with each and every year. It is hard to imagine that this gigantic tree was merely a tiny seed 20 years ago.

I send my love to all of my family my friends and to all I have ever known in my life.

I have never held any hatred in my heart for any person I have ever known. I have tried to never judge, feel envy, contempt or anger anyone. Looking back, I think the lack of hate in my life is what helped fertilize and grow the few seeds I have planted in my life.
Including the seed of my own life that I have ignored and left unfed many times in my life.
We will always reap what we sow.

God help us all.
