God Food

We had the privilege (and yes, it's work...but a privilege!) of picking raspberries last evening. It was a nice cool evening and we had the company of great friends.

BigM picking away...by the looks of his mouth when he finished, I think he may have sampled a few!?!

Doesn't she look like she's having fun? You could visit her blog and tell her how much you liked her picture!

Definitely not a clean job!

L had the camera and took most of the pictures. I had to include this not-so-flattering photo to prove that I at least picked one berry!

The berries we brought home! I know these will taste so yummy this winter. Smoothies...cobblers...on ice cream...on oatmeal..! I'm thankful that I was able to pick some. I just couldn't make up my mind about going because I felt busy...now I'm so glad that I took the time.

And of course, it only seems fitting to make a spiritual application (don't bloggers seem to do that? :))

As much as I desired the natural fruit, I should so much more desire to let the Spirit produce these fruits in me: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23

I don't quite know how to explain it. But I do know that I'm learning that I can't muster up enough gumption to produce ANY of these fruits on my own. It is only Christ in me. My righteousness is as filthy rags.
