FootPrints.

 March 30^th
Have you ever drove through the city and heard the honking and the sirens and wished that you could just hit mute? Have you looked at your calendar and thought to yourself ‘This is madness.’? Or have you ever driven past a huge factory that stunk for miles, one where you could see smoke for acres and acres around, and said ‘I hate to think what kind of carbon footprint this leaves.’ I have.
So what about your foot print? Where will your foot prints lead you? We can never really say for sure what are future holds. Things happen. Life happens. But how we walk changes every thing. What we leave in our place when we move forward. What principles we carry with us as we go. Susan Moser said in her video ’Growing Greens for Love and Money.’ (which I consider indispensable if your in the greens or greenhouse business) ‘Never Go Backwards.’ OH, my that seems so simple and easy. But if you really get down into the nitty and gritty of things you’ll realize that we have all gone backwards at some point in our lives. Or at least wanted to. In my experience if you really truly get convicted about something then you won’t come to find it wrong later. If you are led by the right thing. God. If you go places because your following a man, and idea, or as we Americans love to say ‘your heart’ you’ll likely regret it and have to move back and start from scratch. At that time it’s a good thing. We all make mistakes that we should go back and correct. But if you were following the best leader to begin with and things get rough then the hardship is probably a good sign. Bad things are easy to get but good things are hard to gain. The worst things hurt badly in the end and the best things are worth the pain. So don’t back slide just because things get hard. Remember that the easy things are harder in the end. Our children and their children have to live on this earth long after we go home. They have to live with our decisions. Walk in our footprints.
