Evening: Psalms 29, 98; Isaiah 66:18-23; Romans 15:7-13
Ed Lawrence, CBC gardening guru, talked about a plant (don’t ask me its name!) that benefits from a really good pruning - it will come back stronger. With today’s Gospel being about us as branches on the Vine, Ed’s advice sets me thinking about what Jesus’s teaching means for us. There are 2 obvious conclusions, both easy to say, but challenging to put into action ... 1. Stay connected to the life-giving Vine which is Christ; 2. Submit to the regular pruning away of those aspects of your life that are dried up, unfruitful or overgrown.
