The Lord is pruning me first but I know it will come. I'd really appreciate your prayers about that.

And I'd love to see you put them together into a book, please. I'm a United Methodist pastor, in Maine (USA) who is always seeking out God's wisdom, and your devotionals are one of the places I enjoy God's wisdom.

Since I retired a few years ago I have taken the time to do some "pruning" and enjoy some of what life has given me. Being thankful for all the Lord has provided and all my blessings. Feeling much better now that I have slowed my life to a more comfortable pace. The Lord is good and life is good.Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00220818387416153260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-62339570619337311712019-01-12T03:38:22.168+10:002019-01-12T03:38:22.168+10:00Such a good word for today.

You are much more eloquent about it, thought. =) I've recently begun slow changes to my life that will increase the value of what I do, even though there's no extra time.

All from you deciding to give some love to your plants!! We are like your plants in so many ways...we do need to be firmly connected to our Vine, we do need to continue to grow but we also need pruning to stay healthy. Thank you for the reminder of where our priorities need to be. I've been pulled by other things I enjoy doing (painting and wood working), but they are too much like quilting in that they require lots of special equipment and space! Not to mention TIME!!! Be blessed as you begin your week...and please share pictures of the trees and shrubs the lady has for sale so I can drool over them like I do over your back garden!!Farm Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01670652033638218941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-10987360009379581862019-01-07T09:25:04.747+10:002019-01-07T09:25:04.747+10:00Another thought provoking post Jenny.

One of those things is a new church as we've become unchurched due to changes within our church and its hierarchy. Things could be better organized domestically, too. It's time to make some commitments to these changes. Your posts always offer so much encouragement.

Overcrowding which means that nothing grows really well. My life is a bit like that at the moment. To many things to do. So it’s time to replant a few things and get rid of some dead foliage.
