Fruit of the Spirit ~ GENTLENESS

This is the 8th swap in this series.

There will be 9 months of the "Fruit of the Spirit" swap, we will focus on a different "fruit" each month.

Be sure to check each month what fruit topic we will be working on. Please read through the whole swap description for how to engage in this swap.

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." ~ Galatians 5:22-23

April ~ GENTLENESS (Banana)

Gentleness ~ Humble, calm, non-threatening

Gentleness is a humble non-threatening demeanor that derives from a position of strength and authority; and is useful in calming another's anger. Gentleness is not a quality that is weak and passive.

During the month of March, work on GENTLENESS by:

Read/Study scriptures about GENTLENESS.

Praying for your swap partners (sending to and receiving from).

Check group thread for anything pertaining to this month's fruit. (I will be posting randomly throughout the month)

Applying yourself daily to improve on the Fruit of the Spirit.

Post images/verses on each partners profile that goes along with the Fruit of the Spirit ~ April is GENTLENESS and the fruit that represents it is Banana.

Send your partner (only the one assigned to you to send, not receive) a notecard telling them your thoughts on the fruit for that month, along with a surprise that goes along with the fruit for that month. Ideas: loose stickers or sticker sheet, handmade item, notecard, memo sheets, postcard, fridge magnet, keychain, ATC, Etsy or Amazon gift. Anything that represents that fruit. You can choose the $ value according to what your budget allows. Be sure it's sent by the end of March.

There may be months that you can't find anything to go with the fruit that's represented for that month, if this happens you can send any other kind of fruit that you think represents the spiritual fruit for that month. Be sure to let your swap partner know why you sent a different fruit item.

Please rate your swap partner promptly once you have received your notecard with surprise. Give a 5 rating if they met the swap requirements and give a heart if you feel it's deserved. Please don't base your rating on the $ value you receive.

I tried to explain this swap the best I could, but if it's still confusing to you, please comment below or message me.
