I read each comment with joy in my heart from so many insightful and reflective suggestions and recommendations and I am in awe of the connection between each one. Giving hugs and have compassion in our hearts for our fellow man is great, but it is my belief that honoring the seed through the generations must start at home with the time-honored teachings of morals, values, family and integrity. We must plant the seeds in our children, grandchildren and other little ones who we come in contact with through our church, job, recreation, neighborhood events, etc., and we must exhibit the type of behavior that speaks to our live and action performed in front of children. We must speak with love and being careful of what we say and how we say it and to whom we say it. During my upbringing, my mother said: "children should be seen and not heard." What she meant by this was that children have their place and adults have their place and the two should not mix when not necessary because of the words and behavior that could and may be exhibited by adults would not appropriate for children. However, she also said that children are a gift from God to be raised in love and respect and honoring the one true creator of life; older adults should be respected; children should be respected, and that all our fellow human beings are put on the earth for a reason. Honoring the seed is also honoring everyone point of view even when it does agree with yours; honoring ones values, even when they do not agree with yours; honoring one choices in life, even when they do not agree with yours, and honoring individuals because they are all a gift from God. We are all fearfully and wonderfully made and we should all honor the seed in our own way through words, speech and action.
