The Fruits of the Spirit - not the Grapes of Wrath


Last week during church service, I'd given each of my kids a few quarters to put in the offering plate. We sat on the front row and Whit gave his, then Knox gave his, then it was Quin's turn. He dug down in his pocked and fished out a grape. The guy holding the collection plate thought that was cute and laughed. Quin fished around in his pocket again and pulled out... another grape. By this time the guy with the collection plate was getting behind and started to go on to the next row, but Quin told him to wait. Quin went into his pocket again and out came a third grape. The first grape fell on the floor and rolled away and Quin had to go get it. I held his grapes while he finally dug his quarters out and put them in the plate. Quin carefully took his grapes back and put them back in his pocket.

I told the guy with the collection plate that those were the Fruits of the Spirit. We're all still laughing about that one.
