Our faith is
like the rose

A seed of faith
is planted when we are born

When it is nutured
it slowly begins to grow

Then after much watering
and care a bud appears

It's almost ready
to blossom

The day finally arrives!
The most beautiful flower emgerges!

But then there are
also thorns which can be painful

The storms come and it needs
to srip away the outer layer to reflect on who they are

After many months of reflection and prayer
the sun makes it's appearance and again the rose begins to grow

Each season the cycle is the same
yet the rose becomes stronger and matures

Yes, the rose can teach us much
Isn't our faith much the same?
