Bear Fruit

It is raining torrentially. Tonight, it is supposed to turn to snow! Snow here in Charlotte! I am waxing my cross country skies in anticipation. I have laid out my warm Cross country ski clothes. It isn't supposed to stick, but if it does, I will be ready. There is little as magical as skiing on a golf course or through white neighborhood streets in the night while stars twinkle on. I hope my waxing and preparation will bear fruit!

Meanwhile, the rain today will force me to stay inside. I hope Asherel will get lots of school work done, and I will do a good strong editing session on my latest book. It is nearing completion, after 8 years! It has been a long process, with many set backs and frustrations and has taxed me to the limit in many ways. I hope all this labor will bear fruit.

My DI team is also working towards a long term goal. For teenagers, working for 9 months on anything is very hard. They have about 1 1/2 months left till the State contest. It is sometimes when the end is in sight that so many, wearied by the long haul, give up. How I hope and pray their work will bear fruit.

Thinking about Mom K, and how so many older folk sometimes feel useless, we gave her a prayer notebook. We wrote our prayer requests, things she could lift up to God on our behalf when she is lying in bed. I know the prayers of a righteous woman always bear fruit.

God has a lot to say about bearing fruit. He tells us over and over again that if we don't grow weary, if we don't give up, if we keep the goal in sight, and if we ask Him to guide and help us, we will bear fruit. Every step forward is in the right direction. And while our culture might try to tell us otherwise, we are never too young, or too old to bear fruit.

Psalm 92:14 (NIV)
They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green,
