The fruit of the Spirit is a learning and growing life journey. Star had been given a beautiful garden…but it had become ugly, and some plants had died.

In time everything changes. Star and his garden come to life again, and everything grows with his different encounters.

Did you see the colorful flowers, blue,
red,
pink,
purple,
and magenta?
The round orange plants,
the silver-grey pods on the long grass,
and the laughter,
and there is green everywhere!

Star was not sure who was talking because it seemed like they were all talking at the same time. Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Temperance were all working in the garden with Star.

Lucinda (Lucy) Beaton has been investing in the lives of children since graduating high school in South Africa and subsequently living in New Zealand, India, California, and Texas. Writing was birthed in her as she wrote the curriculum and stories and scripts to support lessons she taught or school pageants she directed. One of her statements is: learning is an adventure.

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Proverbs 22:6 NKJV

But Jesus said, Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 19:14 NKJV
