The Vision to Plant Seeds

If your vision is for a year, plant wheat. If your vision is for ten years, plant trees. If your vision is for a lifetime, plant people.  -Chinese Proverb

To have a harvest, you have to plant some seeds. How many seeds do you think a farmer plants to have a successful harvest? The same is true in the world of parent leadership. Leadership is about planting seeds and then tending to the weeds each day. 

In many cases, that is what a good leader does. Tend to the weeds every day. If there ever was a labor of love, it is tending to the weeds of stoping your kids from fighting for the fourth time today. We work with them for hours on homework and explaining that same problem for the 5th time. It is taking the time to listen and truly listen to what your children have to say.

We have to be farmers before we can harvest. We must tend to our crop and give each one of those seeds we plan the chance for success. Some seeds will grow on their own, but others will take years of patient, loving care. But rest assured, the work you are doing pulling the weeds each day will have a lasting impact not only on your children but also on your children’s children.

They will, in turn, plan the seeds you have given them and change generations. One generation of truly loving parents can change a child, and that in turn changes the world.
