Staying In Touch
To find a friend is one of life's ultimate joys.
If you have come to my pages, I consider you a friend.
And if you have special friends, remember life is short and
every moment you have with them is precious, don't waste any of them.
Just like the rose, as it bursts into bloom radiates beauty and joy,
to hear from a friend brings beauty and joy into our lives.
When the rose begins it's bud..it's petals are tightly closed.
In the same way...life can be tightly closed and shadows obscure the light.
Then as God sends sunlight and dew...the nutrients from the earth feed the rose,
it slowly begins it's opening, until all it's petals are spread.
Then it lifts all it's inner beauty to the sun, and emits sweet fragrances in the air.
Life is much the same...sunlight, dewdrops, and nutrients from God and the
hand, voice, lips, and eyes of someone who touches our lives,
feeds us, nourishes us...and soon we find ourselves, opening, much as the
rose does...and our petals open, spreading beauty, emitting sweet
fragrances around us. It is this blooming that makes us rejoice greatly,
and shout for joy that we have bloomed and come out of the
shadows into the sunlight of love. Love for God and life, love for friends,
love for family, love for that someone special, be it our spouse,
our soul mate, a child, love that blooms, like the rose, is sweet smelling.
It is the power of love that keeps the cycle of life going.
The Power of Love
