☔️🌪️How to navigate the storms of life, [FIRST NAME GOES HERE]!
|
Happy Fruitful Friday Reader! Last week, I shared how storms can destroy fruit. Did you know they can also produce it? ☔️Storms of Life and FBOsIf you read last week's email, you read about the tornado that ruined a strawberry field. That spurred my thoughts on how storms of life also destroy the fruit of the Spirit. I've been thinking about that idea and revisiting my previous blog posts about what keeps the Holy Spirit's fruit thriving through adversity. Life storms are when others most need to witness our love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control! I sometimes wonder if God is allowing the storms in my life to happen so I can grow more fruit. You can learn more in this week's blog.
Whenever my students or children complained about a situation, I used to tell them God was giving them a Fruit-Bearing Opportunity! We called them FBOs. When I find myself going through a storm of life, the idea that God is using it to produce more fruit through me helps me to rejoice in my sufferings as Paul tells me to (see Romans 5:3 and Colossians 1:24). If you face a storm of life this week, think about that situation as a FBO. Then, thank God for allowing you to be His fruit-bearing vessel! Stay fruitful, Dawn, Little Pot, Tea Pot, Oil Lamp, and the cracked jar. |

Happy Fruitful Friday Reader! 🌀Hurricanes It's pumpkin season, but here on the East Coast, it's also hurricane season! I know, like me, you are praying for those in the Hurricane's path. I've lived through one that left us without power for two weeks, which was hard. But, while it was hard, I remember it being a very fruitful time when neighbors and friends pulled together to share resources. Disasters always provide us with fruit-bearing opportunities. But it shouldn't take a hurricane to...
Hello Reader! It's been quite a while since our last Fruitful Friday email! I never intended to be gone that long, but I have been busy! The BIG Announcement I've spent the summer creating new editions of all the books in The Potter Series. EA Books Publishing has published paperback and E-Book versions of each. The illustrations are even better than before, and there are a few fewer words in each book. They are more precise and more manageable for young children to read. My granddaughter,...
