Fig Tree Study

“He who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who looks after his master will be honored. ” (Proverbs 27:18)

He spends hours at the river with me. Throwing me in and listening to me giggle with glee. He yells swim and then yells, “Let’s do it again.” See my father has time to spend with me because he’s rich you know.
