Tuesdays with Daddy – “You Really Do Reap What You Sow”

Another installment of “Tuesdays with Daddy”. For those who don’t know, I stay home with my two young daughters on Tuesdays and always have something important to blog about.
Today, I realized that we really do reap what we sow. This morning, as I woke up with my two year old, I was amazed at how sweet she was. She was saying things to me, like, “Daddy, may I please have some more cereal?” and “Daddy, I love you, VERY MUCH!” and “Daddy, you’re wonderful!”
Do you see where I’m going with this? She’s repeating back to me phrases and statements (tone is important here, too) that I tell her often. If I regularly talked to her in rough words, or words that aren’t loving, caring and sincere, she would talk to me that way too. Eventually, she would probably speak to her teachers, coaches and friends in that same manner. Instead, I choose to speak to her in the way I want her to speak to me and the rest of the world – lovingly. (Be assured, I am firm when I need to be firm and scold when I need to scold.)
We really do reap what we sow. And we’re constantly being watched. With my girls, I’m being watched all the time. As a follower of Christ, I simply cannot choose to abandon this responsibility. I MUST work to exemplify Christ at all times. I drop the ball quite often (as many of you know) but continue to get up and fight. It’s a lot of responsibility, but if we expect to see change in our world for God, we must take this challenge on.
In your own life, I challenge you to figure out what you are sowing. Are you sowing love? Are you sowing anger, hatred, lust? We really do reap what we sow.
Man up!
