"But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, self-control;
against such things there is no law."
Galatians 5:22-23
"It is more important to be kind
than to be right."

Deletehow about chocolate dipped fruit?
Self control you say
ReplyDeleteI guess I will use it today
And not rhyme with fruit
A certain word that isn't flute
Wow that was tough to do
Fruit does give me gas though at my zoo
Of course all screwed up
So could just be a hiccup
And pffft be kind and right
If they don't listen, bite haha
lol...oh, I needed that laugh today...
Deleteshould have known you'd have something smart to say. :)
I know you'd rather be right
and tell everyone to shut up tight.
hahaha.
haha glad I could help
DeleteWith my rhyming yelp
And it depends on who it is too
Whether I tell them to shove it up their gazoo haha

DeleteVery nice post : ) I just read this Galatians verse today in a book that I just finished titled the Forgotten God. It's by Francis Chan and I read it for Bible book club. Highly recommend : ) And the quote really fits for me today. Have a great weekend.

this is such a lovely time of year. I was out driving this morning and the sun hitting those orange leaves was stunning! I need to get out with my camera at least one more time! We had a fun birthday celebration yesterday, too!
DeleteThanks so much for the quotes Betsy - going through a truly horrible time in my life right now - simply awful and your blog is always something I look forward to visiting in my day!! Kelley
ReplyDeleteso sorry you're going through a rough time. I'm praying for you today and I'm so glad that my little blog can brighten your day when you visit! Big hugs....
DeleteI think you had that quote on your blog before, didn't you? :)
ReplyDeletewhat a nice message- wish you could sky-write this for everyone in the world to read.
ReplyDeleteI am afraid most people just want to be right though, kindness seems in short supply.
I know...it's a great reminder!
DeleteI must confess a tendency to want to be right! I hope I'm not unkind though. I do like all the rich autumn colours in these photos.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine you being anything but kind, jenny! :)
DeleteLovely photos to pair up with lovely thoughts. Sweet!
ReplyDeletethanks, dear. :)
Deleteperfect pictures for perfect verses. Not sure I agree w/ the last one though actualyl, come to think of it. That is, I;d rather someone risked huritg my feelings to tell me something I needed to know, like, for example, I can;t sing then let me go on thinking I'm a singer adn trying to be one when I'm not, adn so on.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't mean you aren't honest with someone...just that you don't insist that your opinion is always correct...or that you have to have the last word.
DeleteAnd I say everyone should be able to sing their little hearts out and enjoy that, no matter if they have a great singing voice or not! ha. But I think this quote is about more serious matters...
