Day 17 -Fruits of the Spirit: This Christmas season often reminds of me of a time when my great-grandmother would give us fruit at Christmas time. We would have a bag to grab all the fruit and candy at our choice. She had a buffet of choices of fruit and hard candy to select. I would look forward to this season every year. During this season of giving, you too, must give out the fruits of the spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control) that God has requested of us to give others. Do not get caught up in the season of “decorations over devotion” and “presents over his presence” and fall short of what you are to pour to others. There is someone waiting on you to give them a “fruit of the spirit” to help their spirit. This is a season about Christ so do not leave him out of Christmas. Pour your fruit into others on today.
