The Fruit of the Spirit

Today my parents celebrate their Anniversary... 52 years and still going strong! 
This ties so perfectly into my chosen bible verse of the week, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and self-control." Galations 5:22

Their marriage reflects these words and is an ideal example of the fruitfulness that living into the goodness of faith and the Spirit provides.  I'm so grateful each and every day for the steadfastness of their commitment to each other and to their faith.  

This week I challenge myself, and you as well, to not only keep in mind but to actively practice and share these life giving words with others.  Throughout the inevitable highs and lows that each day brings, let's keep a mindset of love, patience and kindness.  I promise you that the rewards we'll reap from sowing goodness will be beautiful and generous!
