The Fall Roses

A year ago my daughter Madison gave me a hybrid rose bush. The colors of this exquisite gift are so unusual. The rose blooms deepen in color as they bloom from blush to  deep raspberry pink....simply divine

I appreciate this prayer by author Mary DeMuth:
Jesus, You are the Great I Am, the beginning of our stories, the middle and the end. Help us to trust You as the storywriter, realizing that You will never leave us as we walk this crazy earth. When our story is scary, grant us peace. When it's mundane, help us to rejoice in normal. When we fret, lift our heads to You. When circumstances swirl out of our control, steady our minds to trust in You. Be near, near, near. We know that Your presence is what blesses us and keeps us sane. Amen.
