I took this picture in our garden this weekend.
The garden that I thought was planted too late. The garden that I thought would never produce any fruit.
In spite of the limitations I placed on this garden; it did in fact produce fruit.
I am so glad that my Jesus does not put these same doubts and low expectations on me.

Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abide in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:1-5

So true. Apart from Christ, we can do nothing. There have definitely been times when I've tried to produce fruit on my own and it just gets discouraging.
I like the new blog look, and I love that picture of your boys in the header. What a cute idea!
