How many of you have heard of ” The Fruit of the Spirit”? I think I was about 9 when I learned it, but I not only learned it, I memorized it. Here it is.
Galatians 5:22
The Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
I never really thought about it, all I thought was, “oh, I memorized it, so I get candy”.
You may notice that the first is love. Now think about this… Love is patient, love is faithful, with it you have joy, self-control, kindness, goodness, and gentleness. But, just because you have love does not mean that every morning you wake up and your happy and full of joy and life is perfect. You will still have hard times and life will not be perfect, but love is the root of all these things.
Here is 1 Corinthians 13 4-8
Love is patient. Love is kind. Love isn’t jealous. It doesn’t sing its own praises. It isn’t arrogant. It isn’t rude. It doesn’t think about itself. It isn’t irritable. It doesn’t keep track of wrongs. It isn’t happy when injustice is done, but it is happy with the truth. Love never stops being patient, never stops believing, never stops hoping, never gives up.
Love never comes to an end.
See how it has many of the Fruits in this one verse. Peace – it isn’t happy when injustice is done. Patience and Self-control – it is and never will stop being patient. Faith – it never stops believing. Kindness, Goodness, Gentleness- it isn’t rude; it is kind.
I never really saw it as something like that. I never put two and two together. Love is what we should try to live for, it is perfect. God is love, pure love. He does not easily anger, He is patient, He is kind, He is unhappy when injustice is done.
He wrote those verses to remind us of this – If our goal in life is to try to try our best to be like God, then we should try to love as He loves us, His love is perfect.

I don’t know what to post about, so Hi! UUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMM
Now what? Is there anything you want me to post about? If there is, let me know! I guess Natalie would like it if I posted that she is writing a GREAT book! Read it here. I’m sure she would love it if you read her story!
Hi, here’s the next section!
The Floors
- Lets start with under the bed. I have drawers under under mine, so that’s not really a job for me. Clear it out and follow step 2 on section 1, again.
- I don’t know if you took care of the closet floor, but if you haven’t, lets do that now. Again, clear it out and follow step 2 in section 1.
- Now just look around and any other sections of the floor that need to be picked up, do.
- Vacuum
There you go!
Hi. I just thought I’d let you know that I can make Blog banners! They are 8$ a piece. You can see the one I made for Katie here. They take about 1-2 weeks to finish, it depends on what exactly you want put on it. I can make it any color imaginable, and put whatever you want on it, pictures, drawings, anything! Lets say your Blog is called ” Mia’s imagination”. I could put a rainbow and castle or something. Just comment me saying you want one done! Thanks!

Today’s section is the closet, the best part! 
- Let’s start by getting the clothes that have fallen off thei hangers and put them back on the hanger rack.
- I don’t know if you do, but I have a LOT of stuff in my closet. Lets get that into a pile, then follow step 2 in section 1, the surfaces.
- I wouldn’t know what kind of a closet you have, but if you should have already had the shelves clean from section 1. If there is anything else that needs to be done, then go and do it, you could do the floor of the closet when we do the floor section.
There’s section 3, bye!
Alright, today’s section is the bed.
- Lets start with the sheets, comforters, and other bedding. Put them into the washer.
- Next, lets clean out your dresser drawers. If your dresser drawers are still clean from the last cleaning, then you can skip those. I usually need to clean out mine about once every 2 months. To clean these out you should probably do one drawer at a time. Start with the top and go down.
- Get rid of the clothes that don’t fit or that you don’t wear often.
- As soon as your bedding is done, put it on your bed. Don’t just throw hem on, make your bed very nicely.
- I think that’s it! We will do underneath the bed when we do the floor.
Bye!
