Tons of activity in our various locations today. Cross Country practice, Fed Back to School event, summer Geometry class nearly complete, laundry, watering the gardens, football, yard play, four wheelers rides, visiting with relatives and eating pizza and fruit pizza, watching the divergent series, calendaring and fall family planning, prepping for race day tomorrow, and more. All good in our neighborhoods.

In the joy of today, I was mesmerized by how 8 apples can be growing on one very small branch. How does it not crack under the weight it carries? How did it gain enough nutrients in such a high and small space? How many bees helped make this possible? Talk about rooted and rising! Talk about producing and bearing good fruit! I want my life to be like that small branch producing life and love for Jesus in this world.

Galatians 5:22-23 New International Version

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Colossians 1:10 — New Living Translation (NLT)

10 Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.

The fruit of love that’s found in the heart of our human family is so good to behold.
