Bear Fruit
“The entire fruit is already present in the seed.” – Tertullian
“Life stands before me like an eternal spring with new and brilliant clothes.” – Carl Friedrich Gauss
Early Fall brings the gift of Jeanne’s labor when she generously shares fresh tomatoes from her garden, sweeter than candy. Reminding me that our life’s purpose is to bear fruit by sharing our gifts, by adding bold flavor, by lighting up a room, by planting seeds of hope. To leave more behind than what we were given. To multiply our gifts by giving them away.
Our fruit – gentleness, compassion, patience, generosity, civility, peace. In a word, love. Bear fruit.

Thanks for sharing your gifts with so many. Especially your gift of writing. I love reading what you write.
We learn to share our gifts by watching others share theirs – you are one of my top examples Jeanne! Enthusiasm, laughter, a magnetic personality and a strong character!
