I love perennials!! I love that most of the hard work I did in the previous years shows itself in the following years! As the kids and I were weeding today we were talking about the difference between annuals and perennials. It was such a neat time because we were able to talk about the principle of sowing and reaping. I used it to talk to them about what we think about, and watch, and listen to, and how that determines if we have “ugly flowers” or “pretty flowers” in our actions.

No matter who wants to deny it, we all live under the law of sowing and reaping. I think remembering this is vital to my sanity some days. Take heart moms (and dads)! It matters that you have played games, read books, changed diapers and fed your children. You maybe almost got hit with the ball while batting and playing house wasn’t super entertaining for you, but you are sowing. Role playing how to treat your sister…AGAIN, matters. The reaping may be a long time in coming, but it will! Jump in with both feet. I’ve heard that “It goes SO fast!”.
