Mike's Christmas Leave

So, we were blessed to have Mike home for almost two weeks for Christmas! He got back to MN on the 20th and was here through January 1st. It went WAY too fast and was a little too busy but it was wonderful!

Here's some pictures from his time home with us!

Connected to the Vine and the Gardener

Life is a never-ending series of movements, moments, breaths, activities, and steps. We can choose to either live these moments and breaths in connection with the One who is the Vine whose source is the true Gardener or we can separate ourselves from the tree and live in darkness, searching, groping in the night.

Our goal is to be ever connected to the Vine and to bear His fruit in our own lives and to sow it in the lives of our children. We fail daily and He prunes us and we seek His grace to stay connected, and He lovingly provides it.

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing."
