Women have a special place in God’s plan and in his heart. They are uniquely made and have many jobs as mothers, teachers, counselors, nurses, chefs, and chauffeurs in addition to business owners, supervisors, technical whizzes, and hard-working employees. Then the world turned upside-down in 2020. The pandemic caused women to modify their lifestyles and tackle new responsibilities while trying to keep some semblance of normalcy within their families. It wasn’t easy. These unprecedented struggles were overwhelming and caused many women to feel alone, depressed, frustrated, hopeless, and just plain tired. Can you relate? Are you one of those women who feels like you are drowning and maybe even invisible to God? Have you forgotten what his peace feels like? Maybe you have never felt his presence. In God’s Fruit Salad, author Diana Kinser offers a contemporary look at the fruit of the Spirit for women in all areas and walks of life. She is a battle-worn grandmother who has been in the fire of life many times, including battling Covid in ICU on a breathing machine. Kinser wants you to know that even when life seems dark and hopeless, God is still there. She knows the sweetest fruit in a Christian’s life comes from the deepest pain. With wisdom and love only a grandmother can give, she gently encourages women to see their value in every situation.

The goal of this book is to introduce Gods Spiritual Fruit to children. In the process, it seemed like a good way to share knowledge about a selection of tropical fruit through art form. Most of the fruit was new to me, before I lived in The Virgin Islands for a few years. I hope children will learn about spiritual fruit-the Godly characteristics that are combined into one fruit, Gods fruit. The tropical fruit they will be presented on the pages are not to be connected to the Godly attributes given. My prayer is that we adults teach children as we demonstrate the nature of God in our daily walk of being fruitful. According to the New Living Translation of scripture, when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, He will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. I hope this book will encourage children to apply the attributes found here and also see how good the fruit of God is. Included on the pages are some tropical fruit that you may have never noticed in your local grocery store. Perhaps you have seen the fruit but never tasted it. This was my situation, until I lived in the Caribbean for a while. I learned that tropical fruit is closer to the equator and sunshine therefore; tropical fruit is more potent with vitamins. I did not realize what I was missing until I tasted the unfamiliar fruit. Hopefully, you will search for the different fruit in your local grocery or local cultural food store, or while you visit a Caribbean Island. Enjoy.
