Fruit of the Spirit

April 2nd, 2008

If you look over in my side bar, you’ll see a new graphic there…

right there…

under the “what an honor” heading…

see it?

That was given to me.

ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you believe it?

I can’t… and really?

I am honored.

Here’s what it’s all about…

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.

See, my friend Lisa B. got it awhile ago and I thought she was totally deserving of it.  And I remember thinking when she got it that I didn’t think I would ever be nominated for something like that.

Because you have to be nominated… it’s not one of those things that you get and then you get to give it to 5 of your bloggy friends…

NO!  This one you actually have to take the time and email Trish and tell her why you think a blogger is deserving of the graphic…

And someone did that.

For me.

And I?

Am forever grateful.

I don’t know who did it… but to whomever it was….

THANK YOU!!!!

Until next time…
