2. In the beginning God said: “let the earth put forth vegetation, plants, yielding seeds and fruit trees of every kind on earth that bears fruit with the seed in it.” (Gen. 1: 11)

3. Fruits are nutritious, delicious, refreshing and nourishing. It has tempting taste, charming colour, and sweet smell. Are we pure in thought, sweet in word, and kind in deed?

4. No fruit is selfish. It tastes the same for people of all walks of life. The generosity of the fruits teaches us to be more kind and open to others.

5. Some fruits appear to be ugly and rough from outside. But they are sweet inside. “Man looks at the appearance and God looks at the heart.” (2Sam. 11:

6. Every Fruit is protected by several layers. What is essetial is invisible to the eye.

7. Fruit is used as juice to ease weariness, to strengthen tired mind. The crushed fruit tastes sweeter. Beauty comes with suffering. The gold is tesed in fire.

8. Fruit heals. Several fruits are medicinal. The skins are more nutritious than the content. At times, they have healing power. Even small things are significant in life. Do we recognise the worth in the elements that are thrown out?

9. Banana is high in iron. It can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in the blood. It helps in cases of anaemia. How productive and helpful are we?

10. Some fruits are damaged due to carelessness. They are fragile. Human beings are fragile. Do I handle others with care?

11. At times, fruits are injected with chemicals to make it grow and sell in the market. But, they lose their natural quality.

12. Some fruits are vegetables. They are the daily nourishing elements of our life. Each vegetable is rich in calorie and vitamins.

13. Some fruits are covered with bags in order that they may be protected from the insects and birds. Do we care much about the protective cover of God in our lives?
