The Fruit of Ordinary Days




An Inkling
Jesus said, “You will know them by their fruit.”  What is the testimony of the fruit of your life?
Some of the fruit is borne on extraordinary days, such as a day when integrity is at stake in a hard choice you make at the office, or when trust is shown in a season of bad health.  But such days are called extraordinary for a reason, and their fruit is but a small portion of your life’s harvest.
What is the fruit of your most ordinary days?  We heard a winsome witness to such fruit in the testimony of several moms that we compiled for worship on Mother’s Day.  Every mom has some extraordinary days.  But when I asked them to reflect on motherhood just off the top of their heads, these moms described the preponderance of fruit – the fruit of ordinary days.
What is the fruit of your ordinary days?
