fruits

Another week is in the books! Time is flying by! How was your week? When were you closes to God?

Saturday was filled with excitement! Scott and Dawn visited our friends, finding everybody doing well. Ardis and Heidi wrapped bread. Matt and Vicki mentored the team. We worked most of the day to get the Bright House move in ready for Joey.

Monday we had our year end party for our learning program children. In some of the children, you can see real progress. Wish we had them all year long! Pizza, games, and fun activities were big hits with the children. Hopefully we will be hosting them again this fall. Put on your calendars to join us.

Monday, we had our Joey move back into "his" house! So nice to have him back, sitting on the porch, praying for us all. It's been too long!

Tuesday evening, the men gathered for Bible fellowship reading from Galatians 5: 16 - 26, talking about the flesh and the Spirit. Do we walk by the flesh or by the Spirit?

Thursday evening, chapel was led by Ms Abbie and the choir, singing praises of lvoe and Willie shared the Good News. A delicious meal, a full Market, lots of clothes was enjoyed by all.

Prayers for Lisa and her husband Mark, in the loss of his sister. Prayers for our upcoming Summer Camp. Prayers for those traveling over the weekend. Prayers for our community children. They fight for everything they get, sad to live that way.

Walking by the Spirit versus the flesh. When I was not of God, I could indentify with the characteristics of the flesh. When I found God, the fruits of the Spirit began to take over. Enjoying the fruits of the Spirit are so awesome, you wonder why more do not turn their lives over to God?

Simply going to church will not give you the fruits of the Spirit. It is not your inner self creating the fruits. It is the Spirit of God creating the fruits within you. We need to let go of our egos and pride and let God into our lives, allowing the fruits of lvoe, peace and joy to take over. Amen

Hope you have a great week. May our Spirits rise up to produce, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control!
