An Apple a Day

You have heard, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away."

Have you ever taken an apple and sliced it,

watching while you cut it to see how far down the stem goes?

Wow, you say. That's all that holds an apple up on the branch. 

While the winds blew and blew, the apple stayed on the branch.

Did you know the apple is staying on for a great purpose? 

That of receiving its nuourishment.

First, it is very tiny, 

and then gets bigger and bigger, till it is full grown.

How interesting. 

Also, did you know where the apple gets its nourishment?

 Yes, it is the stem, the smallest part of the tree, 

then the branch 

and then a bigger branch

 and then the trunk of the tree

 all play an important task of taking the food (apple food) 

to the apple, through the stem.

The sun and the rain also played a very important part 

in the growth of the apple.

We read that Jesus said:

You are the apple of my eye.

Think on that one.

Proverbs 1 verse 2:

Keep my commandments and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.

Psalms 17 verse 8:

Keep me as the apple of the eye, 

hide me under the shadow of thy wings.

Zechariah 2 verse 8:

He that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

Let's enjoy our fruit.
