YUCKY Fruit

Wednesday in the Word for Families

Another favorite Family Worship night we have had recently was:

The Fruit of the Spirit!

We did several studies on Galations 5:22 - the fruit of the Spirit.  "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."  We talked about when we DON'T have these fruit in our hearts - and instead we have meanness, anger, and bad attitudes - that is like having YUCKY fruit in our hearts.  And what does God want?  Good fruit!

We have done individual lessons so far on the fruit of love, another on self-control, and still another on gentleness.  It seems that in our little home that the sibling relationship seems to be lacking these strengths!  So we are talking about it and praying about it!

It was so CUTE that night when we prayed.  Mia prayed, "God please help me to have self-control and not yell at my sister....and help us to have good fruit in our hearts and not yucky fruit.  Amen."
