The mercy of God

This fruitless apple tree was a highlight of yesterday's service for me.  People were asked what to do about it.  Many suggested pruning, and many suggested talking to it or even singing to it.  Some suggested cutting it down.  Only the young person who'd been given Jesus' parable about it to read afterwards countered the cutting down argument with the gardener's suggestion "leave it one more year while I dig round it and manure it again".
