Spring

Last week Snow......this week spring.

We have an orchard on a corner of our property. We have two peach trees and three apple trees. Last year I started too late to spray for bugs and some kind of rot that gets on the peaches. As a result we got a couple of hand full of peaches and a bunch apples. This year I was ready and waiting to spray. I noticed over the weekend past that the trees were budding up and getting ready to bloom. Monday I went ahead and sprayed for the first time. I hope to have a good crop this year. I read up on how to prune the trees,which I did one cold day last January, when to spray them and how often.


It never ceases to amaze me how God has created this earth to do what it does. Reproduce. To see bare branches turn color and bud up and then produce a flower and then watch as the bees do there job of pollinating and then see fruit grow. Wow.


Like wise we go through the same kind of seasons in our lives. There are times where I feel God has stripped me down to a bare branch by laying open my innermost thoughts only to bring back a new growth with something much better than I had known before. By trimming and pruning me He is able to make me a better person. Even a little spraying here and there helps too.


God is good..... all the time!!!
