Social media is all the craze today. Some of the most popular social media sites are Twitter, Pintrest and Facebook. These are the places we go to search, read and interact with other people.

Longsuffering (Patience)

The fruit of the Spirit is the inspiration for these Christian Quotes that can be used for a Facebook post.
