So I can relate! :) Isn't it awesome that it's all about Him...we try so hard and it ends up being all about us. I love your reminder to "abide". Thanks! Hey, I’m a long winded blogger as well.

Isn’t it awesome that it’s all about Him…we try so hard and it ends up being all about us. I love your reminder to “abide”. Thanks!

I do tend to post long chunks sometimes, but I generally think there are exactly the correct number of words. :) I need to make things like this into a short series. I think that as I age, I learn more and more just how much it's all about abiding in Him. We can't produce this fruit on our own. Only the "sap" of the Holy Spirit running through us can do that. We are branches indeed and we do what any branch does. Sit there attached to the root and allow Sap to run through us. How fruity is that? :) --Larry Mary,

I mean that as a very sincere compliment! How I long to have full-bursting with flavor fruit for my Saviour...not hard, bitter, worthless frost-killed imitations... Thank you, Larry!
