What Grandpa started...
Long ago, it's believed that my Grandpa planted a little orange tree. He took care of it and enjoyed eating the produce of this tree whenever it gave it's full bloom.
Well, what grandpa planted, we watered and God has given the increase this year.
(Reminds me of 1 Corinthians 3:6 in how we all are used in the planting of God's gospels in the heart of people, some plant, some water, but God gives the increase.)
From gramps to granddaughter to great grand children the fruit of his labor continues to reap benefits for our family. What a yummy legacy!!!
Here is a step by step blog on our fresh squeezed experience.
It all started with an Orange staring at me everyday through my kitchen window. I couldn't escape the gaze, stare down, peering look he gave me everyday. He was calling to me, and I had to answer.

I knew what I had to do, the timing was right, so I went for it. I called out for another and he came to my aid.

Then more and more others jumped on the chance to help me in my mission. With much teamwork, climbing heights, groping through thick citrus greens...

We got it.
This picture makes me happy.
Face to face with the one who beckoned to me. He was ready and so were we, but more wanted out...

The frenzy lasted some time but soon we were all ready to move on to what we really had in mind...

Some wanted it peeled and pretty; I wanted it....Well,
Squeezed
Sifted...
Sipped...
Swigged...
Slurped!!!
Those Brilliant Little Oranges found their way to our Home.They came for one thing...
To Make us Happy!!!
Thank you grandpa for planting this tree, your family thanks you with many swallows!!!
P.S. Reflecting on this experience, I couldn't help to think of how these oranges were grown for one purpose: to be used. Thinking about Jesus; He came for one purpose: to be used to Save the World and Bring us into a healthy, wholesome relationship with Himself. So incredible. As we abide in Christ and He in us, we will bear much fruit and others will share it it's essence. Here to your fruit growing years. Enjoy your journey!!!
