Items needed for Sunday Afternoon Fruit Salad:

• Chemical free fruit spray
• Big bowl 
• Watermelon, Banana, Apple, Purple and Green Grapes
• Fruit Dip on the side (just the girls like it)
• Joy to the World –  song by Go Fish

Throughout the rest of the winter (and life for that matter), I will be trying to cultivate or “notice” fruit of the Spirit in my life. 

Bible, Book of Galatians, Chapter 5, Verses 22-23

…the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Today I noticed, Joy! I love a Sunday afternoon at home with sunny spots streaming in the window and stray snowflakes trickling down outside.

P.S. Want to try a homemade fruit spray? You can make some with the ingredients and directions printed on the label below. I added some decorations with “puffy” paint and foam stickers. 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup white distilled vinegar
• 1 TBSP, baking soda
• 20 drops grapefruit seed extract

Directions:

• Spray
• Leave on for 5 minutes
• Rinse

Join me as I do a little mid-winter heart tune up. Try to notice how the fruit of the Spirit is ripening in your day.
