In my country, during the dry season (January to June), fruit trees are in full bloom.  In my mother’s front yard there are two Julie mango trees that are currently full of flowers, ready to bear delicious mangoes that we all love so much.

In the bible, Jesus describes himself as a vine and those branches that do not bear good fruit are cut down and thrown out, and those that bear good fruit, He prunes so that they will bear even more fruit. (John 15:12).
