Puncture and Plum tree

really bad start to the day...

needed to get to church early as i was doing the songs...

also i'd planned a time of meditation with a musical background

(thanks to Molten Meditations without words - out on Proost)...

and yes the car had a puncture...

didn't have time to change the wheel - got the 'family' car out of the garage

and arrived slightly later to church...

this afternoon pruned our plum tree, or should i say 'hacked at it',

i think it looks better?! i've had it for 3 years and it's the first time it's been

pruned (i don't think that's good for the tree?)...

while pruning i thought of God and the image jesus gave of us being pruned

by God, so that we bear more fruit, i guess that means a more godly; better

human life (for me and those around me)...

i'm reassured that God 's a much more qualified pruner than me;

at least he knows what he's doing!
