THANK YOU GOD FOR ALL OF THE SWEET SMELLING ROSES


Sometimes life gives us such sweet smelling roses which are right in front of us but we don't take the time to see them or smell them or allow ourselves to enjoy them. We can very easily tend to only focus on the unending lemons rather than the sweet roses. Yet if the roses disappeared, we would have absolutely nothing left. My roses come in the form of great kids and a loving husband. Amongst those sweet smelling flowers are great family and friends.





We can look at the lemons and wonder how you can make lemonade or you can embrace the sweet smelling roses in your life and be thankful for their existence.

Take time to smell the roses.

  3. Well, Carolin and Carol might not like your roses, however, I like both your roses and your sentiment. I like to take the time to look around and be grateful for what I have. Go roses! (when the roses have faded, if you have lemons, then you make lemonade!!! ) :)
