{Day 88}

I love fruit.  It’s one of the few sweet things that I can eat.  So summertime is yumminess!  The other night I discovered that some of the bushes in our backyard have little plump blueberries all over them.  As I sat there and picked (and ate) the delicious little morsels I was completely delighted.  Then last night as I made rounds with my spoon in the juicy vibrant pink watermelon I felt that same joy.  The simplicity of summer.  Fresh fruit that leaves my taste buds tingling.  Yet all the bright melons and fat berries make me think about another type of fruit.  The fruit of our lives.  “A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit.” (Matthew 7:18)   “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit.” (Matthew 12:33).  What kind of fruit is my life producing?  This is something that I need to think about more often.  What kind of tree are you?  Looking at your life and seeing where you put your time, energy, and money will help give you a good indication of what you love…and what type of fruit you are bearing.  Grab an apple and go munch on it while you think it over. 😉
