Gorgeous Billie!

I'd rather have roses on my table
than diamonds 'round my neck.

UNFOLDING THE ROSE

It is only a tiny rosebud,
A flower of God's design;
But I cannot unfold the petals
With these clumsy hands of mine.

The secret of unfolding flowers
Is not known to such as I.
GOD opens this flower so sweetly,
When in my hands they fade and die.

If I cannot unfold a rosebud,
This flower of God's design,
Then how can I think I have wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?

So I'll trust in Him for His leading
Each moment of every day.
I will look to him for His guidance
Each step of the pilgrim way.

The pathway that lies before me,
Only my Heavenly Father knows.
I'll trust Him to unfold the moments,
Just as He unfolds the rose.

~ Bryan T. Burgess ~

Billie, I don’t think I’ve seen a lovelier rose. And if I may say so, the frame matches so perfectly! Thanks! And I did read the lovely poem you provided with it. You did good...LOL!

Have places to go today but I wanted to post a couple of things before I get ready to run!

Beautiful Opening today, Billie. Thank you.
That rose is lovely and the poem fits perfectly.

Thank you for your many contributions.

I was relieved enough yesterday afternoon to post some holidays.
And I wanted to use the pretty Holiday Heading and Divider. :)

Have a Terrific Tuesday.

Lovely, Billie! I have some roses blooming finally. I sure do miss them during the winter season.
