Over the last couple of months when I’ve deadheaded the flowers on my deck I’ve just pulled out the flowers. Recently I learned to deadhead I need to pinch the stem below the flower to remove the chance for it to go to seed.
So for the last few weeks I’ve been at work making up for incomplete pruning of my plants. This has given me time to think about the incomplete work (due to misunderstanding or haste) I’ve done in my own life to prepare for future fruitfulness. As I work pinching off flowers I’ve asked God to prune that which is needed for my future growth as well.
