Water Your Seeds

"Every leaf that grows will tell you: what you sow will bear fruit..." --Rumi

Don’t cultivate a spirit of depression in your children by allowing them to watch you “suffer in silence.”

Your excuses will become their bondage.

Your bad habits will become their thorns.

Your pain will become their pit.

Live life to the absolute fullest!

Explore your heartache.

Unravel from the unhealed trauma.

Don’t let the pain hold your purpose hostage.

Don’t selfishly wallow in the pig pen of pity at your children's expense.

Don’t stay chained to darkness.

Don’t lie on your belly of sadness.

Don’t let the lack claim their abundance.

Rise up from the “ashes of defeat” by taking “proactive” steps:

Let your words frame their future.

Let your life be a testament of your faith.

Let your path ignite their hope.

Let your prayers comfort their sorrows.

Let your reservoir of living water saturate their barren places.

Water your seeds daily...

with love,

with patience,

and understanding.

Remember whatsoever a man sows, he reaps.

Are your actions producing blooms or weeds?

Even when these two think I’m being ridiculously tough on them, 

I pray that love abounds in all the empty spaces of misunderstandings and that they thrive on the manifestations of mama’s prayers.

I pray that my witness will always affirm my faith.

I pray generational blessings overwhelm them with peace, happiness, and much success!

I pray that when they feel depleted by the cares of the world that they know who to seek for the ultimate refill.

 I pray that my daily courage frees them from the clutches of darkness that tries to overshadow the light of their wings.
