There's A Rose In You!

My husband and I were relaxing in our backyard  last Saturday for the 1st time since we moved into our new home last summer looking at our beautiful tall trees and enjoying nature.  Earlier that day, I mentioned that we should plant a rose bush in the front near one of our windows. So as we sat, he said, "Baby,look at that rose growing in that bush!" I said, that's not real, you placed that in there! " He said, no,it's really a rose." I got up from my chair, walked over to some other bush by our back window, and followed the long stem up to the rose and pulled it out. It was hidden behind the branches and stuck. Although it was very vibrant, you  couldn't quite see the total beauty of it until I pulled it out. It was simply "beautiful!"
Right away, I said to my husband, "you know, that's a story behind that?"




Ladies,although you possess beauty and a personal style, a quiet strength, a loving heart, a beautiful spirit,
that others see now, there's more to you than they really know. Sometimes God keeps us hidden
away for a little while to do His work in us, so at the right time, you're revealed in a new light.


You go through alot in order to grow for HIS purpose. Others really don't have a clue of what you had to endure to get to where you are now. But HE does!
So while you're "growing" into something lovely...just know that when the time is right, GOD will reveal
something magnificent!  YOU...a rose!


Food For Thought
It's a wonderful thing to be tucked away for a little while!
