All the love that history knows,
is said to be in every rose.
Yet all that could be found in two,
is less than what I feel for you.

New thread, new thread, new thread.... WOOOHOOO!

Welcome back, Amy!

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Jacqui.

What a wonderful way to start the day!! It is great to see you! I've missed you!

What has been happening? I'm sure I've missed much.

Have a wonderful weekend.

[KangarooJacqui]

Starting the day for you, ending it for me. It's almost midnight Saturday where I am.

Why aren't I out partying? Because where I am, buses only run until 6pm if you're lucky, and besides which, I have no partying friends...

Hence, from now on, you can all call me "The Midnight FReeper!" LOL....


How was your break, Amy? Hope it was a good one.
Right now, I'm living on memories of the Pacific Crest Trail last year... (I did go to New Zealand at Christmastime, but to be honest I was still shellshcoked from my husband's suicide in late November/early December, so that wasn't so much a holiday as something I endured. Sad, really, as I love New Zealand....)

The Midnight FReeper.. it sounds like some unreleased Steve Miller song :)

I visited some very dear friends while I was gone. Spent time in Indiana and Ohio.

My friends are in Ohio; I went with them to Indiana to attend their grandson's high school graduation. We did a little sightseeing and lots of visiting.

I hope you will get a chance to get back to New Zealand soon. My nephew spent some time in New Zealand; he loved it. He was there on a church mission.

The friend's grandson went to Australia two years ago. He says when he graduates from college, he is moving to Australia. He loved your country.

Have a great Sunday, Midnight FReeper!!

The Pruning

Read: John 15:1-11

Every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. —John 15:2

Bible In One Year: 2 Chronicles 23-24; John 15

---

In every vineyard, a vinedresser prunes the branches so they will produce more fruit. In a spiritual sense, our heavenly Father must deal with us in a similar way at times—by pruning our lives. It isn't only the dead branches that have to go, but sometimes even the living and vital ones must be cut back so that better and more bountiful fruit may grow.

Many different circumstances may serve as a pruning knife in the hands of the Master Vinedresser. It may be the rejecting gesture, the unkind word, or no word at all. It could be the frustration of living in a constant state of noise and confusion, with daily duties and no chance to find a quiet place to call our own. Or it might be waiting for God to intervene when everything seems hopeless and we have no friends to help us.

But the pruning knife is guided by a loving set of hands. The Master Vinedresser knows what we can take, and He knows what we can become—more loving, joyful, tranquil, tolerant, kind, dependable, gentle, poised—stronger and better than we are today.

We must not shrink from the knife but trust the hand that holds it. Our Father in heaven has a purpose-to produce good fruit in us. —David Roper

The Master is seeking a harvest
In lives He's redeemed by His blood;
He seeks for the fruit of the Spirit,
And works that will glorify God. —Lehman

Fruitbearing + Pruning = More Fruit

[KangarooJacqui]

Cheers Amy.

And yeah, my country's beautiful... but so is the USA. Grass is always greener and all that... but for some reason, I find myself pining for Oregon. Right now.

Oh, the human mind is a funny thing, the human heart funnier still!
