Our conversation with parents who lost  their 17 year old son to bone cancer continues.

In this Encouraging Minute we talk about how a fruit that is healthy for one person may be fatal for another. You may be eating fatal fruit and not even know it.

There are several types of fruit, that while beneficial for some people, are fatal for others.  The Star Fruit and Elderberry are two such examples.  This is also true of the fruit that we produce as people. Our behavior, attitudes, and actions are evidence of either positive or negative fruit in our lives. You can carry anger, bitterness or resentment toward someone who has hurt you, but you are only hurting yourself and your relationships. Instead, choose the fruit of kindness and walk in freedom.

In this Encouraging Minute we discuss the value of a human life. It's worth a lot more than a Babe Ruth baseball card someone found... or the Nolan Ryan rookie card that you lost.  Everyone has their own idea of what a life is worth. Of what the value of a human life should be. The government uses their own benchmarks and statistics, the law uses a person's position or net worth. But what is the correct answer? You are priceless. You are a masterpiece with a purpose that only you can fulfill. If you find your worth in Jesus Christ, you will find your true value.
