Title: Fruit and Races!
Post by: jennie on November 20, 2008, 01:14:19 PM
As I read some things here I have thought a lot about the fruits of the Spirit and running the race set for us. In our physical bodies we have to take in good fruits to make us stronger and more able to run a physical race. In our Spiritual lives we feed ourselves too to help us run the race. I don't have answers to many things but I do believe that God's Word is part of our fruit that we take in and also that the wonderful thoughts and conversations with other believers feed our spirit as well. I can't say enough about how refreshing it is to come here and enjoy the "fruits" of the discussions and how it makes me feel stronger to just take it all in. I can't run very well but my Spirit races free here. I feel like I am sitting at the supper table with friends and eating and learning together. My wish for all this day... is eat that good fruit and run that race with peace and joy! Much love to all, Jennie

Hi Jennie,

I really like how you tied together the good fruit of the Spirit nourishing those who are running the race!

Excellent stuff there to feast on.

Peace,
