Pruning


"...every branch that does bear fruit He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful."
John 15:2b

Pruning controls the shape and appearance of plants. It brings about new growth. It makes the plant stronger. The increased light that reaches the leaves, aides many things. Pruning, done well, improves the size, quantity, and quality of the fruit.

It is also true that remnants of the pruning process can sometimes be nurtured into taking root elsewhere and beginning a new plant. Both the original plant and the new sprout may look a little small and lonely at times, but persistence pays off.

Blessings to Greg and Anna as you take root in new soil.
