Welcome to the final chapter of our year-long study. What a wonderful time we’ve had studying God’s Word together! It’s been my honor to host you here and also on the Heart”wings” Ministry Facebook Page. Let’s take one last look at what we’ve learned this year about growing in the Fruit of the Spirit.

I trust you have grown in the fruit of the Spirit along with me this year. The fascinating thing about the Christian walk is that we are always in the process of growth. No matter how many times we may read a particular Scripture or study a specific topic, the Lord always teaches us something new.
We’ve reached the end of our journey, and bidding you farewell is bittersweet. I have been very blessed to walk with you down life’s path this year. May you be blessed each day as you continue to grow in the fruit of the Spirit.
Please continue to follow me here on my blog, Touched By Him, for future posts where I’ll be sharing some thoughts for Christmas. I plan to continue posting as usual in January, as the Lord leads.

Dear Lord, thank you for this past year of growth in the fruit of the Spirit. Bless Your Word richly in each person, and water the seeds to grow up into mature plants. May we be known by our fruit, that we are Your disciples. In Jesus’s Name, Amen.

I have been blessed more than you can imagine by these sessions.
I can hardly believe that it’s been a year.
Thank you for putting so many details and love into each and every one of them.
It’s been a great year, and your faithful participation has blessed my efforts so much, dear Sandra. Knowing that the Lord has grown and blessed you through this study has made it all worthwhile. Thank you for staying beside me and for your constant encouragement. Much love 💞xoxo
Karen, thank you for your comprehensive review of the Bible Study series you brought to our “Front Porch” during 2019. Through your inspirational lessons, we have all had the opportunity to grow much deeper in the knowledge of each of the fruits of the Spirit.
Thank you for answering His call to become our first leader on our “Front Porch” as you sought His wisdom and guidance in the preparation of each lesson. Your dedication to His leading was always clearly evident in these lessons which you brought to us for His honor and glory.
