Rose buds

We have some miniature teacup rose bushes in our carport flower box. (Please don't tell anyone that I know that they are "miniature teacup roses"; I have a reputation I am trying to keep) These roses are just starting to spring to life. While a couple of the roses have opened to full bloom, the majority are still in the "bud" stage.

We have just come out of the blossom stage for all the apple, plum and pear trees. It is truly a beautiful time of year, though the allergies can be an issue. When everything is in full bloom and the anticipation of new growth is upon us, I can't help but think of how wonderfully creative our Father is. He gives us all this beauty just because He can.

Today's word comes from Psalm 104:24, NIV, which reads, "How many are Your works, LORD! In wisdom You made them all; the earth is full of Your creatures (creations)."

It is impossible for me to see how anyone can see the splendor of GOD'S great creation and think that it all just "happened". How GOD chose to bring it into existence we can debate forever and NEVER fully understand. The fact, though, is that GOD created it all, and He allows us the blessing of seeing it all! He loves us enough to enjoy the fullness of His creation.

Yes, we have miniature teacup roses, and, yes, I think they are pretty and smell nice and are wonderful to look at. I am grateful that GOD allows us the joy of living in and taking in His creation. I am a man, AND I can enjoy the works of His hands!

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
