It's amazing how robust the vine is year after year, shrugging off so many "challenges" and even thriving with God's care. I think that's the key; God's care instead of ours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-88626282343389689582014-05-10T22:00:30.556-04:002014-05-10T22:00:30.556-04:00Thanks, Patricia.

It didn't bloom a lot last year, but it's looking pretty good this year. A good reminder that sometimes it takes a while to bloom after God's pruning.

We need to remain in Him and He in us. He also "trims" away our unproductive behaviors and feelings, so we can "bloom" for Him and show Him.Dora Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09747436990108065627noreply@blogger.com
