these roses...


...were so beautiful.
They lasted a week,
they opened up fully,
they filled the room with their intoxicating scent.
I bought them at Whole Foods.
When I saw these I couldn't resist.
The color was not quite red, more on the pink side,
so rich and extraordinary.
Their packaging said they came from Ecuador.

Flowers always point me to God.
Only the Creator of the universe could devise a bloom like these.
And He gave them to us for our pleasure...
for us to enjoy.
The perfect gift to give,
a way to lift ones spirits,
to show love,
to bless another.

It is raining.
What is better than an afternoon nap on a rainy afternoon?
God waters the earth
which makes everything grow.
From our food to the grass, trees, and flowers,
they all depend on the moisture that God sends down to the earth.
Without His provision our land would be parched and dry, uninhabitable.

Thank you Dear Father in heaven for all of the ways You bless us.
Everything we have comes from You through Your son Jesus Christ.
Even the air the we breathe comes from you.
I praise You and thank You!

❤️
