A life filled with love, must have some thorns, but a life empty of love will have no roses.

OUR ROSE
Fragrant
My sister Beverley, also known as Rose, was a very outstanding person. This rose in our lives was one God planted in our family’s garden. She was of a very quiet but strong disposition who loved the Lord with her whole heart. Rose just loved to worship and sing praises to the Lord our God. Although her health failed much and she had to be placed in a skilled nursing facility, that didn’t stop her from being vocal about her praise to God. The other residents of the home were fully aware of her faith as she was not ashamed to share it.
We cannot Lord thy purpose see but all is well that’s done by thee.

The Rose In Your Garden
By Annette Taylor-Spence
Delicate petals surrounded by thorns
Fragrant beauty in the midst of pain
Joy and sorrow in one place displayed This is the message of the rose
A beautiful flower with a sweet aroma
A hue of colors to brighten the garden
Its impact evident when you receive…
A rose that declares “You are loved”
In the busy lives we all lead
Do we recognize the rose among us?
Do we stop to inhale the aroma?
Or pause to gaze at its beauty?
There is a rose in your garden
Maybe quite a few…
That go unnoticed day by day
Unseen, unrecognized and unappreciated
They won’t always be there
The rose in your garden today
May be a faded flower tomorrow
It’s time to slow down; smell the roses
Appreciate the present
Bask in the moment while time allows
