.We're in the midst of discussing the Holy Spirit on this blog and I am convinced the Holy Spirit is leading this study. He doesn't always do things in what we might call a "logical progression" but when the Holy Spirit is involved, it is always POWERFUL!
.
If you look back over the last few weeks, I've talked about how the Holy Spirit:
- INDWELLS His people
- HELPS His people
- GIVES LIFE to His people
.
This week, as we've talked about LIFE... ETERNAL LIFE... I've connected it with part of the fruit that the Spirit grows in Jesus' disciples - JOY. I failed to mention that in my bay window at the front of our house, facing the street, I have large wooden letters that spell out J.O.Y.
.
One day back in June, before Scott and Bonita McEndree came to our house, they drove by. Bonita told me later, in my kitchen, that although she didn't know who lived there, she thought at the time that she would like to get to know the people who lived in that house. I can think of no family that I have ever met that epitomizes the Spirit of JOY any more that the McEndree's.

Who are Scott and Bonita McEndree? Well, this is what I will say - they are the young parents of 4 small children. Yet, Scott will not be around to help Bonita with raising them because He went to his eternal home Thursday morning, October 22, 2009 in what I am sure he would tell us was a "morning of JOY!".

Yesterday, as my husband Steve, sat at his computer and wept, he wrote a tribute to Scott. I invite you to be inspired by clicking here to connect with that blog post.
