Roses

I have an abundance of roses in my yard this year.  They make me so happy and I love the way my house smells when I cut them and bring them inside. What a beautiful gift Heavenly Father has given us to have them to make this world beautiful.  They were even used to serve others this week.  My neighbor across the street came by the other day and told me that every year she cuts roses from her mothers house to put on her dads grave on his birthday.  Unfortunately all of her mothers roses had already bloomed and lost the petals.  She asked if she could cut some of mine.  Later that same day the activity day leader came by and told me that for activity days they were talking to the girls about being daughters of a king, and asked if she could cut a rose to give to each girl.  I am so happy my roses are also brightening the lives of those around me.  Beauty and goodness is no good if you keep it to yourself!!
