Thankfully we have cooler weather! I went for a walk in the vineyards this afternoon and as I see all of those lovely grapes just waiting to be picked then I always feel that longing to be a fruit-bearer in God's Kingdom.
John 15:1 - "I am the True Vine, and My Father is the Vine-dresser.
verse 4: Abide in Me, and I will abide in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me."
Actually this verse says that if we abide in the Vine we shall automatically bear fruit!
As you can see on the photo, the best and biggest bunches of grapes are those that grow the closest to the vine. The leaves on the first photo are even beginning to change color already.
Oh, that light blue is so fresh and inviting! Beautiful tag and equally beautiful photos! Thanks for sharing!!
