Fruit of the Spirit

Trish, from my SHS homeschool e-mail loop, informed me that I'd been nominated to display the Fruit of the Spirit graphic/blogroll in my sidebar. I'm amazed as I am not the wordy, philosophical type. I've read so many of these ladies' blogs, and they always challenge me and convict me. I don't try to do any of that in my blog because I'm not good at that kind of thing. I just use this blog to tell what's going on in our family and post a few pictures. Here's what Trish, the creator of this concept, says about it:

"In his letter to the Galatians, Paul wrote about the fruit of the Spirit ~ love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). The Fruit of the Spirit graphic was developed in an effort to recognize bloggers whose writings and postings in the blogosphere give us a glimpse of this fruit in their lives.***

This project is not simply my own. There are many blogger and non-bloggers alike who have agreed to partner with me in recognizing and honoring those whose writings, postings and lives exemplify how God works in and through His people. When we recognize Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit resides within us. It is the Holy Spirit who produces fruit in our lives ~ but He has also given us the honor and the duty of recognizing the fruit in other believers."

Hopefully, my simple posts and pictures do exemplify how God works in and through His people!
