Remember: The Bible tells us Jesus said to stay joined to him like a branch, and good fruit grows.
Read and answer
Read the story first, then answer.
Noa in the orchardNoa is a made-up girl. She spent summer days in Grandpa's orchard. Grandpa told her that Jesus once told his friends a story about a vine. Jesus was the vine, and his friends were the branches. A branch cannot make grapes alone, so it must stay joined to the vine. Grandpa said that Paul wrote that the Spirit grows good fruit in people, not fruit you eat, but nine good ways of living. That day Noa carried a cup of water to Grandpa, and he called that love. She waited for a green plum to ripen, and that was patience. She shared a peach with a hungry traveler, and that was kindness. At supper she waited for her family before eating a honey cake, and that was self-control.
