Eat and enjoy! Bible point
The Bible says,
"Love your neighbor as yourself". The Spirit of God makes it possible
for you to show love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, and self-control to those you meet each day. Notice that the Bible
says, "FRUIT", not "Fruits" of the Spirit. The "Fruit
of the Spirit" has many parts, but it is one complete fruit, in essence it
is a description of Jesus' character. Before you can have Jesus' FRUIT displayed
in you, you must have him living in your heart and life. God's promise is this,
"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans
10:13. Ask Jesus to save you and change you to become more and more like him,
and he will.
Allow this sweet and flavorful dessert to
remind you to follow Jesus, so that you will be able to
bring the sweet and flavorful Fruit of the Spirit to your
family, friends and coworkers each day!

Father's Day Craft Gift Ideas
Treasure
BoxThis present is just the right size for paper
clips, stamps and a million other things. But, when children lacquer on images
of their father's favorite things, like the fishing regalia he adores of the stamps
he collects, the real gift becomes the chance for a father to see himself through
his children's eyes. Materials
Peanut canister
(cylindrical cardboard kind with foil lining)
magazines, catalogs or
photos
White glue or clear glaze (available at craft stores)
Remove the lid from a clean peanut can. Your child can
clip out letters, pictures or family photos he thinks his
father will like and then glue the pictures on the canister.
Encourage your child to finish the gift by gluing a photo
of himself onto the plastic lid. After it dries, paint everything
with glaze or white glue that dries clear.
