WOYWW: Fruits of the Spirit

This morning when I woke up,

I could not access the internet.

When I left to attend daily mass,

I left a note for my husband:

"Please see what is wrong with the internet!

I can't access any of the connections,

even Peggy's!" 

Peggy is my sister and she lives next door.

My husband right away knew what a disaster that was-

it being Wednesday,

and time for what else but...

WOYWW!!!

So here is my desk, 

part of it anyway.

This is what's on my floor.

I spent almost the whole of Saturday painting!

Yipee!

Galatians 5:22 reads 

"...the fruit of the Spirit is love, 

joy, peace, patience, kindness, 

generosity, faithfulness, 

gentleness, self-control."

Imagine you are in a fruit orchard

walking with Jesus.

There are parts where pruning is needed.

Weeds, brown leaves, dead branches.

But there are also a lot of fruit.

Jesus points out to us

how there is more fruit now than before.

He is the gardener and He prunes

and takes care of our orchard.

Except of course where we put a barrier

and He is not allowed in!!!

Jesus works to bring us 

to more fruitfulness,

so that we will BLOOM!

Galatians 5:6 reads "...only faith working 

through LOVE."

The Syriac version reads,

"Which is perfected by LOVE."

We say we have faith,

but is it shown by our love for others?

Is our faith attended by the fruits of the Spirit?

Every week I choose one wonderful

visitor who leaves a comment

to receive an ATC from me.

I know how much time and effort

it takes to leave a comment!

and I appreciate that soooo much!
