"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law."
Galatians 5:22-23
I feel like somewhat of a basket case. If only I can be a "Basket Case for Christ", full of His fruit rather than the selfishness of me.
I have been feeling a bit like that myself, Martha. Especially today! I will be working on being a "basket case for Christ" instead of the basket case I am feeling like. He can fill me up with His goodness.
ReplyDeleteI felt like this last week. Did'nt know if I was coming or going. I whined, complained, and was overwhelmed! It was my wonderful hormones!! Maybe it's yours??
ReplyDeleteAt any rate, very clever post title and analogy! See, your brain isn't as slow as you think!
I think probably everyone feels this way at some point, but I like your ending statement, "full of His fruit rather than the selfishness of me"...very thought provoking.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling!
ReplyDeleteWe've all been in the Basket, Martha...but when I come to your blog...I see the fruit of the Spirit in You!! Your blog is honest, interesting, and funny.
ReplyDeleteThink I'll crawl out of my basket and think about tomorrow post!!!
LOL :)
You have a wonderful way of expressing your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteDid you do the painting?
Yes, so help us all!!
ReplyDeleteNo, Joeks. The painting was done by a friend at church. I bought it at the Ladie's Silent Auction back before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, it's not hormones this week. :(
I've been a bit moody this week. I needed to be reminded of this. Thanks so much.
