For every thing there is a season ......

A few years ago my brother gave me a shoot from one of his rose bushes. Now he can grow roses. His yard is filled with gorgeous roses, climbing over gates and trellises. I on the other hand am "so so" with roses. I planted the rose in an initial spot and it did not do well, so I moved it. It like the spot and grew like crazy last summer but did not bloom. I am thrilled to say this year it's blooming. Beautiful pink roses! I was so excited when I found the buds earlier this week, and yesterday when I came home from work I was able to see the full blossom. As I was admiring their beauty I was reminded of a blog post that I did on February 13, 2010. I talked about looking for the signs, and I remember stepping out of that florist shop and seeing all the rose petals that the owner has scattered on the sidewalk. To me it was a sign that better things were to come. Now five months later with no snow in sight I'm witnessing the blooming of the rose, not just the petals. Thank you God for the promise, and the delivery. Life is good.........
