what seeds am i planting?...

james 3.18 (lb), peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of goodness.

whatever you sow is what you're going to reap. if you want people to cooperate with you, you have to cooperate. if you want people to be nice to you, you've got to be nice to them. if you want people to compromise with you, you've got to compromise with them.

whatever you're dishing out is what you're getting back. if you've got conflict in your family, somehow you're dishing some of it out. it takes two for conflict. so you look and say, "what can i do? what seeds am i planting?"

if you are always planting seeds of griping, complaining, arguing, hassling, and putting down your mate guess what you're going to reap. conflict. whatever seeds you're planting in your marriage is what you're going to grow. start planting seeds of peace and compromise. empathize with their feelings and take the initiative, don't wait for them. go to them first.

matthew 5 and mark 11 – one of them says when somebody offends you, go to them, the other says when you offend them you go to them. either way you take the initiative. if you want to be a peacemaker that's what it means to be like GOD.

just a thought from the front porch…
