A Fruitful Day

Whether it’s fruit of the earth

or fruit of the Spirit

Discover it.

Hold it.

Eat it

Delight in it.

Because it’s sweet.

Offer it to others.

And when you think you are deplete

Find a friend who has some.

Search together with people you love.

Because fruit enjoyed within community is always sweeter.

This fruit lived and shared and consumed in community, it stains.

Our mouth so we speak the truth.

Our hands so they are generous and gentle.

Our feet, so they go to the places where people need Jesus, need us.

Enjoy this season of fruit. The growing, the picking, the eating, the baking, the sharing, the jamming. May God teach us to delight in his fruit, the way we do these berries.
