December 19

Galatians 5:22-23
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

We have glass balls, in red, green and gold, onto which I wrote the fruits of the Spirit with permanent marker. They are placed in a crystal bowl. It's a simple and pretty decoration, and a poignant reminder. Pick one up each day during your quiet time, and ask God to grow that fruit in you.

Advent is a time of preparation. What better way to prepare than to allow the Holy Spirit to bring us to fruition?
