It’s my desire to keep a song in the heart of children, young and old.
To pick up an instrument, must feel like a “can-do” experience.
“Keep it simple” is my motto.
Now, the young will challenge themselves greatly for a sticker or a fruit snack. And hand-drawn pages with colored pens go a long way, but easy-peasy chords, that’s the selling ticket.
I wrote a very simple song, “Multiply the Fruit” but it has proved to change kids from heavy-hearted to cheerful and happy. And they leave singing the fruits of the Spirit as they walk out with their fruit snack!
Today, I share Logan and Isaac recorded on my SoundCloud: Multiply the Fruit.
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not talking about multiplying children as at the beginning of time in the Book of Genesis, (and obviously, I believe there is a great blessing when we welcome little children into our homes, I could write a book on this topic),
but to multiply the fruit of the Spirit in our lives:
“Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control;
“against such things there is no law” Galatians 5:22,23, ESV.
Give Isaac and Logan 2 minutes of your time today and also spend time with the Lord in prayer. And then share this with the kids:
The children speak of God’s Spirit and the fruit of love. If your heart breaks for lack of love, (which all of us do), we simply need to turn to God in truth,
– Agree with Him
–Believe in Jesus His Son, who washes us clean of sin when we receive.
–Call out to Him for His Holy Spirit to fill us give us new life!
-Draw near to Him with all our heart.
Profoundly simple. “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you,” James 4:8, ESV.
“He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it” 1 Thessalonians 5:24, ESV.
Let’s go out and be “fruitful” today and multiply the fruit of the Spirit.
Only with the Lord’s help, oh yes!
Please help me get these songs out to families to be a blessing. Share my song! Thank you -Toni Rypkema
(This song is actually a partner hand-clap song with a simplified Ms. Mary Mack idea.) Look for it soon on YouTube!
