GRAPPLE

The first time I saw this word it was for a new creation. Apples that smelled and tasted like Grapes. Therefore they were known as GRAPPLES. Makes sense.

Then I was reading and this phrase stuck out to me.
'Grapple the hard things in life.'

Do apples and grapes help us with the challenges of life?

So of course I looked in the dictionary.

Grapple

1. to hold or make fast to something

2. to engage in a struggle or close encounter
3. to try to overcome or deal
4. a grip or close hold in wrestling

We need to grasp the hard things in life and keep them alongside of us so that we know exactly what we are up against. Its the only way for us to keep our head held high and know that there are great things ahead.

Then I got thinking about GRAPPLES

Its funny how apples and grapes really do help us with the challenges of life.

APPLES-
The fruit of the forbidden tree
Knowledge of good and evil
To understand the purpose of life we need oppostition
The Lord is a respector of your agency from the very beginning

GRAPE-
Wine, The Sacrament
The Saviors Atonement!

Phillppians 4:13

I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me
