Opening for Topic Meeting

Last time we met several moms shared what kind of old woman they would like to become.  They spoke of having joy in tough situations, kindness in relating to others, faithfulness to God, and showing love to family and lets not forget looking good and dressing stylish. 

                  Like these moms, I want to be all these things as well. 

                  These qualities that were talked about are the Fruit of

                  the Spirit.  The Bible says in Galations 5:22-23, “But the fruit of

                  the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,

                  faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

                  We can try to develop these qualities in our own strength but it

      will be more difficult and less of a success rate.  Or we can spend

      time in the presence of God where God produces these qualities

      in us.  When He does it, it produces lasting fruit that will last to

      old age.
