Fruits of the Spirit…..



I came across THIS picture on pinterest which inspired me to write on rocks.  Purchased this bag of rocks from a local discount home store at a whopping $1.99. 



Grabbed my Dr.Ph.Martin’s Pen-white liquid paint to write with.  I like this brand, because it’s a bit chalky….thicker.



Grabbed my tiniest brush and proceeded to write.  I had to apply a 2nd coat because one coat just wasn’t enough.



Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Wrote out the fruits…these 9 first.



But I had 15 more rocks to write on.   So, I added a few more to the list:
Initial Fruits:
  • Love
  • Joy
  • Peace
  • Patience
  • Kindness
  • Goodness
  • Faithfulness
  • Gentleness
  • Self-Control
Added these to the list:
  • Honor
  • Humor
  • Grace
  • Return
  • Respect
  • Give
  • Donate
  • Gratitude
  • Encourage
  • Honesty
  • Thanks
  • Humility
  • Compassion
  • Forgive
  • Hope
Cuz….well, I like these words too…especially when I can experience these from others….or display.  Cuz sometimes I forget.

And the greatest of these is LOVE. 



Placed them all in a glass bowl to be seen daily…cuz Lord knows I need it Smile

And if you’re not so inclined to write out these words you can do your own version….like: Art words, Inspiration words, Funny words, Spanish words.  So many words, so many options!!!
