When the harvest has been gathered in
And the fields are stripped and bare,
It's time to relax beside the fire
In your favorite worn-out chair.
The jams and jellies taste so fine;
Fruit trees were bountiful this year.
The corn stalks were heavy-laden, too;
You even had enough to share!
Now comes the time for giving thanks
For the table that is overflowing.
The fields were fertile and you worked hard,
But God in Heaven did the growing!
~ Barbara Cagle Ray
In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
generosity, faithfulness...
Galatians 5:22
