roses are red

Take in the beauty and catch your breath.

AHHHHH! Sometimes I don’t breathe. I mean I breathe - obviously, because I am still alive. But I don’t really breathe breathe. Life for many of us has been so sad and stressful and it is important that we keep reminding ourselves that better days will come even when we’re in the middle of the storm.

Roses are the quintessential statement flowers. They can command a room from moments after they are picked and placed in a vase to the latter days as they begin to wilt. They are beautiful even when they are dying.

As spiritual beings, it is important to exude love and beauty in the toughest of times. We are blessed with God’s love and grace because we are His creation - beautifully and wonderfully made.■
