Story of the Day
The message was in the fruit. As we visited the farm and looked at all the baskets of apples; I saw the message in the fruit. The fruit carried a message. The fruit wasn't produced over night. It took time. It took care. It took acts of God for this fruit to be present in these baskets. Fruit, present in baskets, to feed my body and restore health to my mind and soul. The message was in the fruit. The fruit was the product of a glorious God working with "common man" and nature to bring forth something that would sustain life. God sent His Son to sustain "common man." The message is in the Fruit. God, in His boldness, sent a Man to sustain "common man." The message was in the fruit. Now we are called to produce fruit. We have been cared for. We have been nourished. We have be combined with the Fruit of God to produce fruit. Let all the world rejoice. Let all the world give glory and honor to God. Let all the world offer worship and praise to our King of Glory. The message was in the Fruit. Now go and produce likewise! Thanks be to God!

Prayer of the Day
Lord, You are the branch that feeds me. Feed me and nourish me and combine nature and Your loving touch, that I may produce fruit for You. ---Amen
