Fruit

Today granted a grand walk through the fertile fields of Bierzo. I went through Villafranco de Bierzo and landed in Cacabelos. 

The vineyards and orchards stretched as far as the eye could see and were as close as the hand to reach up and pick one.

It provided a lovely backdrop for contemplating today's gospel... you will know a tree by its fruit.  St. Paul is quite explicit in Galatians 5:22 that the fruit of the Holy Spirit in the life of the disciple is love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, patience, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control.

On a good day we can manifest at least one or two of the fruit of the Holy Spirit.  Which fruit do you have for God to pick today from the branches of your life as He walks along?
