“Fruit That Grows in the Home”
📖 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…”
—Galatians 5:22–23 (NKJV)
We often teach our children to “be good,” “be patient,” or “be kind.” But true character doesn’t grow by pressure—it grows by presence: the presence of the Holy Spirit in our hearts and homes.
As mothers, we can create environments where the fruit of the Spirit is nurtured—not just taught.
We model it when we choose peace over yelling, gentleness over control, and faithfulness in the everyday tasks no one sees. The Spirit isn’t looking for perfection; He’s growing fruit in us and our children, day by day.
Even when we fail, we have the gift of the Spirit to convict us, restore us, and continue the work.
Family Reflection:
- Which fruit of the Spirit do we see in our home?
- Where might the Spirit be inviting us to grow?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, grow Your fruit in our home. Let Your love and joy fill our family, and help us be patient and kind even when it’s hard. We want our home to reflect Jesus. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
