first fruits

Where there was once a horse arena here at the farm, we have planted fruit trees. One day we will be enjoying homegrown peaches, pears, oranges, grapefruit, limes . . . and even avocados (though they are in large pots on the back porch instead).

The peaches and pears are already loaded with fruit — much more than the baby-sized roots can handle. So yesterday Kristen prune out some of the fruit to allow the others a chance to grow.

Then she brought some in for me to “doodle”.

So I did.


“In the same way, my brothers, through the Messiah’s body you also died as far as the Law is concerned, so that you may belong to another person — the One who was raised from the dead — and may bear fruit for God.”
Romans 7:4
