It all started on an inner tube.

Five years ago, we were sitting on a couple of inner tubes in our family's pool and talking about everything from highlights of The Bachelor (our shared guilty pleasure!) to what was going on in our lives and what God was teaching us. We were with our nieces and nephews and we started talking about our mutual love of writing, the Fruit of the Spirit, and what physical fruit we would envision each of the Fruit of the Spirit being. It was here that the idea for this devotional was born.

​

Since then, we have plugged away slowly but surely, some months writing a lot, while other months the shared Google doc collected some dust. Our lives also went through many changes and our families evolved.

​

Through it all God's faithfulness has been evident and He has revealed more about His character, through teaching us about His love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. It has been a gift and honor to learn more about Him through this time spent with Him.

​

We are so excited for "Cute Fruit" to be converted from a Google Doc to an actual devotional that you can hold with your hands (eek!!) Our prayer is that that it will bring families closer together, but even more so, closer to God, the giver of all good fruits.
