New leaves on the momiji (Japanese Maple) against a backdrop of red (created from Red Azaleas which were in full bloom). As I reflect on the days prior to this photo being taken. God had brought a long a number areas of new growth for both us personally and the church, through various tests and trials. Also on Sunday the 26th we had five people from Takino come all the way (85kms) to Nagaokakyo for the Sunday service. So in many ways we were experiencing new growth.
So now that I've mentioned Azaleas, I'll let you know that the next PBLOG entry will have something to with them... Stay Tuned.
