day 164

"By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control." Galatians 5:22-23

far too often,

we let the fruit 

sit out on the table

or on the kitchen counter,

until it turns all sorts of shades,

wrinkles and shrinks, and

begins to smell just

bad enough that we have

to toss it in the bin, 

hoping we will do a

better job with the 

next batch you deliver
