As I inspected the bush yesterday, I realized the time was coming quickly to prune the bush again and I wondered if I would have the same capable skill my mom did to ensure its success next spring. I really want that bush to bloom like crazy next year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As I made a mental note to add the pruning job to my to-do list, I began thinking about another pruning season &#8211; the times when He trims away the unnecessary things in our lives. Some of those things might be sinful, and some might not, such as a commitment, a habit, or a comfortable routine. It\u2019s in those moments when I am most grateful for Jesus\u2019s words in John 15:2, that every branch that bears fruit, the Father \u201cprunes so that it will be even more fruitful.\u201d What may feel like a loss in the immediate is actually His loving preparation for your more abundant future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Beth<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Bible Quiz<\/span>:<\/p>\n<p>Question:\u00a0 What miraculous animals parted Elijah and Elisha as Elijah was taken by a whirlwind into heaven?<\/p>\n<p>Answer:\u00a0 \u00a0Horses of fire\u00a0 (2 Kings 2:11)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Storytime: <a href=\"https:\/\/kinshipradio.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Why-did-we-wait-so-long-to-let-them-do-this.mp3\">Why did we wait so long?<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kinshipradio.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Just-one-more-thing_091825.mp3\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Just one More thing<\/span>!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Day is it?
