FRUIT

A friend of mine went to a vineyard for a special tour with the owner.  He took her through the rows of grapes and showed her how the vine dresser cares for the vines.  She was amazed at how few leaves were on each vine and yet they had beautiful bunches of grapes.  He explained that each vine produces fruit with only 4-6 leaves to collect the sun's rays.  Too many leaves makes sour grapes, but with few leaves the fruit is sweet and full.

Somewhere in that thought is a great sermon point.  When our lives are simpler we produce better fruit?   Perhaps.
