Fruit of the Spirit

I taught your Children's Church class last week and we were discussing the Fruits of the Spirit.

This is a lesson that we should be reminded about daily. We are to rely on the Holy Spirit and allow him to work inside of us by providing kindness, patience, love, joy, self-control, faithfulness, goodness, peace and gentleness.

We learned that its easier to see when other people aren't showing these fruits than it is to examine ourselves. We also learned that its easier to show these fruits to others than it is to our own family. That's sad but true. We must push ourselves to change that.

Cade has always said that Addy is the 'worst sister ever'. I've always said 'Thats not true because Aunt Jodi was the worst ever and she turned into my best friend'.

Some day you'll be very close. There is no one more like you than the other one. Once you decide to stop competing and start encouraging one another - you'll be life long friends.

I love you both!
