I knew when I saw these raspberries in the Kitchen Garden at the Biltmore Estate in Ashville, NC I would be using this scripture. We had such wonderful weather while we were there. Gorgeous blue skies and the vegetation was so lush and green (no drought there - here in Buffalo our grass is so hard and sharp and brown it will cut your feet!)
I have always loved these verses. When my sons were little, Steve Green had a Hide 'em in Your Heart record album - of scripture songs. Whenever the boys were getting a little testy - I would sing the song based on these words.
I sure have hidden this scripture in my heart and I pray daily that my life would demonstrate the Spirit living in me - by these attributes.
(If you didn't see the posts on our trip to Biltmore - you can find the 5th installment HERE - with links to the others as well.)

Perfect picture for these wonderful words.
Beautiful!! I need help with Patience and self-control sometimes!!
Beautiful! It is the Fruit not different Fruits, isn't it. I still recall someone saying, "I don't have the fruit of patience nor am known for my gentleness, but my heart is full of love, joy and peace." Thanks for this reminder!
Perfect photo to go with that scripture, Val..... Beautiful!!!
