Good Fruit

A pear tree stands, tall and straight in the front of my home. For three years, the fruit it produced was bitter and non-edible. Bad fruit! But this last year, surprisingly, the pear tree bore fruit that was sweet, tasty and delicious! One day as I picked a pear off the tree to have for a snack, this thought came to my mind. Some of us go through seasons, where we are unable to produce, 'good fruit.' Maybe due to trials, conflicts, unhappy in our jobs, loss of a loved one, or divorce. These are times when we are actually growing, finding ourselves and what we're made of. But the time will come, when we can eventually impart of ourselves, and our 'good fruit.' We can extend a hand and help others, leave those that we were with feeling uplifted and edified.
Continue to recognize when you are sharing good fruit, or bad fruit. Bad fruit is negative, uninspiring, and makes you and others feel unsafe, unsure and without hope. Good fruit dropped here and there will not only motivate and inspire you, but all whom you come in contact with throughout your day; your children, spouse, friend, sister, brother or parent. Your comments, your attitude, your facial expressions all bear witness of the fruit you have within you! Harvest and share the good fruit!
I look forward to sharing my feelings and listening to your concerns on this blog. Feel free to ask for any help your struggling with and I'll do my best to respond with 'good fruit!'
