Every spring I mourn as I prune my raspberry stalks and my rose bushes. Even though I know I am doing the right thing and the best thing for them, I struggle to not feel sorrow as I cut of the growing parts of the plant.
It makes me think that Heavenly Father probably feels similar things when we are being "pruned". He knows we will be stronger, happier and more successful if we choose to grow through it. I'm sure he has moments of quiet encouragement talking us through the difficult patches and then takes a relieved breath when we begin to thrive again.

beautiful-- thanks for your perspective
I don't think we have yard work to do just to be punished. There are lots of valuable lessons to be learned. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I have never thought about it like that. Thank you for sharing that. I'm sure it's true, it seems like such a right thing!
I hope you had a fun weekend, it was so good to see you.
