Fruit of the Womb

Good morning,
Drinking a little Door County Apple Cobbler Coffee this morning. My apologies for the sporadic blog updates lately. Technical difficulties and a death in the family have altered my schedule. We will be back to normal in a few days.

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

I love reading the verses above. As we launch into December we will shop, decorate, eat, travel and share gifts or cards..
My challenge for us today is to STOP right now, two days before December and look at our schedule and say. But where is Christ in all this? Christmas does not have to be a hassle. It should be a time of "Fruit of the Womb". Yes that little baby boy was sent that we can have eternal life in Him.
With Jesus as our Savior and Lord we have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. If we are to enjoy the "fruits of the Spirit" we need to take time to walk in the Spirit. Slow down, and let this be a Spirit led Christmas Season. You might be surprised to find that this was the best one ever!
God bless,
Marty
