Word of the Week #30 Hope-your desire for something to happen.

In a time when there is so much darkness, fear, and doubt being spread why not spread hope. Hope is like the dawn after a dark night. 

I tell my kids that I can smell the aroma of their heart. If they are in a bad mood then the aroma stinks. If they are in a good mood then the aroma of their heart smells sweet. 

Hope is similar to sowing seed and reaping. You will always harvest what you sow. If you sow corn seed then you will harvest corn. If you sow seeds of darkness and doubt then expect to harvest darkness and doubt. If you sow seeds of hope then you can expect to harvest hope. 

A coach, leader, father must sow seeds of hope, must be a light in the darkness. As the leader you can tell when your attitude stinks. Stop, pause, take stock of what's going well, get your mind right and sow good seed. 

How's the aroma of your heart? What kind of seed are you sowing?
