Ouch!


We can complain because rose bushes have thorns,
or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.

I love that! In fact, I was just expressing this same exact thought to a friend today.

Ronda,
I rejoice with you.

Helen,
Thanks. There are so many great quotes floating around. It's nice to find a picture and quote that fit.

Carissa,
Sounds like you offered sound advice to a friend. Isn't it wonderful how God provides the right words for us to say. He is amazing.

I choose to rejoice! Great picture of a rose. I had the pleasure of tending a rose garden for a summer it had over 100 rose bushes. They were all registered and imported from all over the world with metal ID tags stating the country they were from etc..

Kevin,
You would love Uncle Harold's rose trees. He has around 50-60, all registered with ID tags. It is such a delight when they bloom; however, they do require much care.
