I spun my head around to see what the parent was going to do because I could hardly believe my ears. Yet the parent seemed oblivious to his words. Evidently, the parent put the words out there and the child echoed those words back.  In another situation, I witnessed a child putting her little hands on her mama\u2019s face and with fervency exclaimed, \u201cI love you sooo much!\u201d That child echoed the words she had heard.  What is being echoed in your home and in your sphere of influence?<\/p>\n<p>An ECHO is like sowing and reaping. What we plant, we harvest. If we only speak AND think and if we only plant and sow words of doubt, negativity, unbelief, worry, and anger, then we can expect back the echo (the harvest) of the same.  On the other hand, when we are speaking and thinking, planting and sowing &#8212; good thoughts of blessings, love, joy, generosity, peace, kindness, and respect \u2013 then that echo will come back with the same.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the Fall season which, of course, leads to thoughts of harvest time and reaping what we\u2019ve sown.  With this post, I\u2019m encouraging all of us to think about what our life is reaping.    God&#8217;s laws of reciprocity have never changed. &#8220;You reap what you sow.&#8221; Galatians 6:7   We know the repercussions of negative sowing so if we want a harvest of what we sincerely desire, we&#8217;ll make sure that our &#8220;planting&#8221; produces a crop of blessings!   If we\u2019re not reaping the blessings we\u2019d like to have, then maybe it\u2019s time to give thought to the seeds we planted.<\/p>\n<p>If we planted honesty, we&#8217;ll reap trust.<br \/>\nIf we planted friendship, we&#8217;ll reap friends.<br \/>\nIf we planted love, we&#8217;ll reap love.<br \/>\nIf we planted hard work, we&#8217;ll reap success.<br \/>\nIf we planted forgiveness, we&#8217;ll reap reconciliation.<br \/>\nIf we plant faith in God, we&#8217;ll reap a harvest of blessings.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m on a mountaintop and I\u2019m yelling \u201cI love you!  The echo is \u201cI love you!\u201d.  I\u2019m shouting \u201cYou are strong and courageous:  My echo is \u201cYou are strong and courageous!\u201d   Imagine you\u2019re on that mountaintop today \u2013 what are you shouting and what is coming back at you?<\/p>\n<p>Remember, you are the director of your own movie. You can say CUT at any time to negative speaking and thinking!  So go ahead and rewrite the ending to be one of a great harvest of blessings because that\u2019s what you planted during the first scene of the movie!   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was in a store and heard a young child speak an unthinkable string of words.
