bearing fruit ....

 

"the fruit of the spirit is ...

love, joy,

peace, patience,

kindness, goodness,

faithfulness, gentleness,

& self-control....

against such there is no law"
{galations 5:22 & 23}
 

we taught both of our kids

these verses at a very young age.

now, during bedtime prayers

they name each fruit of the spirit & pray

that they would possess each one.

it is sweet to this mama's ears ...

{please note: this was a Christmas card picture ... the only
time of year big brother allows priss to touch him}

I pray for these qualities, too ...
{sometimes I have to pray several times a day ...
 know what I mean?!?!}
i want to be loving, kind, good, gentle,
peaceful, patient, joyful, faithful,
& have self-control
in everything i do.
there are a lot of days i feel
like i fail horribly & the fruit i bear is rotten...
these are the days i am
so thankful for God's grace...
