The beauty of the rose is supreme, but it is only one facet of its creation, pay attention to the cliche and let us take time to smell the rose too. Too often in this life we flit like the bee and the butterfly from rose to rose, flower to flower, church to church and belief to belief, without savouring the substance, the meat, of the teaching of the Creator of the rose. Do not be satisfied with the milk of the Word, that which is ingested and given out by others, but feed on the meat which only God, through His son Jesus and the Holy Spirit can give us.

Wow, that photo is so clear, I can almost smell its lovely scent!! Roses are my favorite flower and this makes me think of a romantic and beautiful New Year. Thanks for this reminder of nature's beauty. xxxx Michelle
