"But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control;" Galatians 5: 22
Because we live close to the Rocky Mountain foothills and the altitude is so high in Calgary, we have to adapt our gardening habits. Backyard green houses are very base or garden frames. I can get a head start on my gardening if I start my plants in the house in early spring or buy young plants at the end of May.
This last March I was very impatient. I wanted spring to come and decided to help it along by beginning my plants, in the house, way too early. By the end of April the dahlias were already two feet tall and my oriental lilies were already blooming on my kitchen table. When I finally set my dahlias out they blossomed beautifully all summer and even now are displaying huge saucer size colorful blooms. But my oriental lilies died off within a week leaving the green stems to remind me of my impatience.
* Who they really are.
* Where they come from.
* Why they are here, and what they have come to share with
humanity.
* What they know about God, and about Living and Dying.
* What they know about the healing of hearts and
souls, and of bodies and minds.
* What will happen in the 2012 shift.
These children speak about past lives, other worlds, forgotten gifts, and unconditional love as a way of being. They show how we can change our world with grace. They also reveal how we can guide them, nurture them, and allow them to become the great human beings they were destined to become!
One spring I was fascinated by the scarlet flowered beans that grow to the top of the fence. I started some on my window sill. They sprouted so swiftly and their tendrils curled all over my chairs and Tv trays in the dining room window. By May the snow was gone and the sun was shining brightly. When I got up in the morning it was at least 10 degrees centigrade. The bean tendrils were already three feet long and I knew I was trying my husband's patience with my inside garden.
Then and there I decided I too had had adequate of these plants invading on my supper plate so next morning out they went. I knew better. I know you're supposed to dehydrate your plants off before you plant them outdoors but it's such a tedious procedure. First you set the plant out on the patio in the sun for a very short time and then take it in. The next day you put it out longer and every day a little longer until it gets used to the outdoor coolness and atmosphere. Then you can finally plant it. Even then you may have to cover it on cool nights and cooler days. I had lots of writing to do and decided to just plant them against the fence. For a consolidate of days I had gorgeous green bean plants running up my poles but gradually most of them just shriveled up and gradually died.
This hard, time involving work of tending vegetables and flowers makes me think of the fruit of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We try dissimilar tactics to sprout and grow them ourselves our lives. We even have some success.
Just like my plants that did so well in my warm sunny kitchen we can display symptoms of the fruit of the Holy Spirit as long as we custom them in a controlled environment. It's easy to show love to others and be inpatient with habitancy as long as all is peaceful and we are in control. But then things start going wrong. We get super busy and run out of time. We get frustrated and go back to our old habits of blaming others for my problems.
Sometimes we try so hard and it seems no matter how many dissimilar tactics we try, no fruit appears. That reminds me of the Lily of the Valley roots I purchased and not one of them grew. Even my young Peony plant was stunted in its growth. This time I knew I wasn't too blame for failure. I had to look supplementary and realized I had bought these roots on sale at a hardware store. They just weren't salutary roots. I promised my self to buy all of my roots and bulbs at the preeminent garden centre next year.
At times we too forget the source of the fruit of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We even effort to grow these fruits of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control relying on our own strength. Or just like my young tender plants that I set out too early and a touch of frost kills them; surface influences overcome our good inclinations.
Only the Holy Spirit can grow the fruits of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We need to be close to God, spending time with Him in prayer and reading His Word and obeying Him as He leads us. It's only compliancy to Him that brings godly fruit into our lives.
Bible Truths to Share with Your Kids:
In the Bible we read about fruits of the Holy Spirit that God wants to grow in our lives. These fruits are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Probably most kids, even you, would like to have these characteristics. We all try to live these values. But it's hard to always love, or be good or self-controlled when things aren't going our way or we are tired or some one is giving us a hard time.
Well, I have news for you. God doesn't even want you to try to be these things all by yourself in your own strength. He wants to grow these characteristics in you. He does that when you spend time with Him.
Just like you are influenced by other kids when you spend time with them and come to be kind of like them, you are influenced by God when you spend time with Him and come to be like Him.
You can spend time with God by reading the Bible and listening to what He wants to say to you. You also spend time with Him when you pray to Him or when you go to a Bible Study or Prayer time at church with your friends. The more time you spend with God the more fruit the Holy Spirit produces in your life if you let Him.
Jesus says He is like a vine to us and we are like the branches of that vine. The branches get life from the vine so we bear fruit that the vine bears. We are blessed to be chosen by the God of the universe to be in such a close relationship with Him.

Unsurprisingly, wooden display racks work best with wooden baskets, and you can use wire display racks to showcase bags of candy that are able to stand alone or fill plastic containers with pieces of candy and then arrange the containers on the wire rack's shelves.
Pre-Filled Candy Displays
Pre-filled candy displays are great for candy market that are just getting started as well as those that stay quite busy and can't always find the time to restock their displays.
Look for pre-filled candy displays in the following forms:

Singing kids. Do you have one? I mean one of those kids who just won't stop, who goes colse to singing to themselves or to whatever they can trap and tie down. This is an all-too-familiar scenario; Mom and Dad aren't musically inclined, but their kid has talent. How do they know either their child has what it takes to be a success? How does a parent know if they should consider taking out a second mortgage on the house to keep slight Suzie's big ambitions?
Parents of singing kids must be honest with themselves before committing to the costly and time-intensive job of organizer/chauffeur/private assistant to their offspring's pursuits. Are they ready for that kind of commitment?
Even more importantly, parents of talented singing kids need to be nothing else but obvious that the driving force behind the dream of super stardom is their child and not them. Fortunately, in my experience, it's more often the kids.

When I asked young Taylor Ware, the national Yahoo yodeling champion and America's Got Talent runner-up, what she wanted for Christmas that year, she solemnly told me that she had written to Santa request him to bring her a tour bus. I would say this girl is clearly in the driver's seat.
When Miley Cyrus first came to work with me, she was the consummate professional at the tender age of 12, faultless with her own assistant. She had great parenting and was one of the most balanced and happy of all the singing kids I have taught. I did not get the sense that her childhood had been compromised in any way by her career.
As a place to start, parents should consider the following ten issues in order to gain needful insight into their child's possible for stardom. The evaluations will help parents make the right decision about what to do when their child announces they want to be a superstar. This list addresses motivation and talent -- both of which are needful to a victorious career in music.
You might have a winner on your hands if your child:
1. Is motivated more by making music than by the promise of stardom
2. Willingly passes up other activities in order to custom music lessons
3. Learns from shows like American Idol and America's Got Talent
4. Seems passionate about singing, all the time finding for places to perform
5. Handles constructive criticism and rejection by learning from it
6. Sings as well a cappella as they do singing along with the radio
7. Personalizes popular songs by adding their own special touches
8. Sounds as good to music professionals as the singers on the radio
9. Feels at ease in the spotlight and comfortable relating to an audience
10.Gets frequent requests to perform in public
If the rejoinder was 'no' to some of these questions, don't rush off to the bank for that second mortgage. Your child may be talented, but most likely may not have all it takes to have a victorious career. Be encouraging and give them time to search for their talent.
Revisit these ten issues in a year or two and collate your child's progress. If there has not been gargantuan improvement, consider that your child may be destined to use their talent in the church choir or in a local band for fun, rather than for profit as a music professional.
On the other hand, parents who rejoinder "yes" to most of these questions should seriously consider their child's hereafter as a musician. Be aware that taking a leap into a full-fledged vocal/musical regimen will involve the whole house and dominate their offspring's childhood years in the same way young gymnasts with Olympic aspirations forgo many of the typical collective and personal pursuits common to the formative years.
Encourage your singing kids and keep them as best you can. Seek professional guidance for responsible ways to help them grow musically. Remember, the drive for a music career must all the time be theirs, not yours.
