This pic is a rose bush I was given by my good friend, Jeanie, seven years ago when I purchased my home. Last fall was not kind to my rosebush; I had to cut it down to the roots this spring- thought it had died. However, as you can see, after the harsh pruning, it is the most beautiful it has ever been!
John 15:1-5:
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
Something new to remember from my Heavenly Father...
Beautiful! :) My flowers are finally blooming this year as well... although so are the weeds. ;)
