The Fruit of Goodness
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. ~Galatians 5:22-23a CSB The fruit of goodness is a fruit of the Spirit, but what does it look like?

During the summer, we raised the screened … Continue reading →
The Best Day of My Life
