Fruit (finally).....reason #428
Mark Twain said...'Why not go out on a limb? That's where all the fruit is.'
And no matter how much consolation that has brought in training our children to value the fruit that will last, often times it was 'tooty' attitudes we reaped, not fruit. And then one day, the Lord shows the 'farmer' (or exhausted parent in this case) the beginning signs of precious, ripe, legitimate fruit......and hope is resuscitated......A 'thank you' offered by your little one when it was not required, a brother helping the younger up the playground set with a hand held......all precious reminders to press on.
