First Fruits

Summer is officially here! The temperatures are hot and the days long and lazy. On a walk around the block, the first fruits of the season could be observed. Apricots are ripening, apples are starting to grow bigger and turn a rosy red, and the blueberries are ripe and ready to eat. Cars of pickers line up along the road each morning as the blueberries are picked. It's time to enjoy the abundance of nature's harvest! Happy summer!


But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.

James 3:17

Oh I love the fruits of summer. Apricots, I am jealous. We just don't get good apricots here. This is a good year for growing. Our tomatoes are much further along than some years.

I love the fruits and vegetables of summer also. It's one of things I look forward to each summer.
