We feel naked, baring only the bones, but that is when we are blessed with HIS fruit, not ours.<br />Thank you for your wonderful thoughts and wisdom~<br />Love you!Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03033740281938902622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-30482724077752591832010-08-13T17:44:46.220-07:002010-08-13T17:44:46.220-07:00Wonderful analogy...pruning hurts and can be rathe...Wonderful analogy...pruning hurts and can be rather "shocking" at times...but the end results...reflect Him....Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788724686085310730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-51673061360390800802010-08-13T04:26:31.869-07:002010-08-13T04:26:31.869-07:00Sharon, you tree hugger, you....

We need to have that same confidence in our fellow believers AND ourselves when we look a little bald from the pruning. This post reminded me of that.<br /><br />And yet, we tend to view God as some crazy tree killing maniac who doesn't know what he is doing to our self glorious branches. (At least that's what I am guilty of doing at times...) <br /><br />So this morning, I'm praising the Tree Pruning Maniac who whacks away at my sucker shoots. <br /><br />Thanks for starting my day with a great one!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671482394424988047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-64549663097888411062010-08-12T10:37:33.335-07:002010-08-12T10:37:33.335-07:00This is so great and so true!

The wounds inflicted (the knife cutting) and the bleeding are the means of healing for me. Just as "By His wounds we are healed." Thank you for this great reminder, and just what I needed, Sharon!<br />I am going to need some extra time next week to plan our trip, and I was wondering if you'd be willing to do a guest post for me? I know it's short notice, but I kind of just realized I'm desperate and thought of this idea! I love your devotional writing (this piece is just one example) and I think it would fit wonderfully well into my Manage It (Victorious in Christ) Monday series! Would you have time to write something that could be posted this Monday? If not, would you be willing to share this post on my site? If neither of these options work for you, would you be willing to write something for the following Monday, August 16? Please let me know and thanks so much in advance!<br />Love your encouraging posts here and comments on my blog!<br />Blessings,<br />WendyWendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230575436747893912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-31547672978718497382010-08-12T10:11:35.150-07:002010-08-12T10:11:35.150-07:00Hi Sharon,
