of grateful praise

"He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful" -John 15:2

today, isaak joyfully played under our apple tree.  scot had pruned some branches and they were still available and quite enticing.  as isaak drew my attention toward the tree, i became excited to see beautiful apple blossoms abloom.  with a pile of sticks on the ground and gorgeous blooms above, i thought of this verse.  today, i am grateful for the ability to be pruned and bear fruit.
