As mentioned earlier, mrsdd is up visiting her dad.

Thanks to ProFlowers.com, I've become a hero once again in her eyes when she received a Valentine bouquet of RED roses and a box of chocolates this afternoon.

Rose Color Meanings: Ordering the Right Valentine Roses

Meanings of Roses Based on Colors - - Red Valentine Roses for Lovers

When giving cut roses as Valentine gifts, we adhere to a time-honored formula that takes into account rose color meanings. The formula matches a rose’s color to its intended meaning as a gift. Valentine’s Day is primarily a lovers’ holiday, and red roses are traditionally for lovers. “Valentine roses” and “red roses” go hand in hand, even though other colors have their place on the holiday. Our close family members may also be treated to red roses for Valentine’s Day, but we avoid giving roses of this color to friends on Valentine’s Day — that would simply convey the wrong meaning. The following are the meanings traditionally attached to the most popular roses, according to colors; use this list as a guide when selecting Valentine roses:

* Red roses mean romantic love; they’re the “Valentine roses,” par excellence.

* Purple, coral and orange challenge red as the color for Valentine roses. The rose color meanings for these 3 are as follows:
o The specific purpose of purple roses is to signify that the giver has fallen in love with the recipient at first sight.
o Meanwhile, coral signals desire.
o And orange roses, along with apricot, connote enthusiasm.

* The meaning of yellow roses is joy and friendship.

* We express our gratitude and appreciation with pink roses....

* While feelings of admiration and sympathy find words with roses that are light pink in color.

* Peach is more ambiguous, as it can signify either sympathy or gratitude.

* Their purity naturally enough lends to white roses the meaning of reverence and humility.

I truly enjoyed this interesting and lovely information about the beautiful rose. Thank you, Dubya, for posting this as we come closer to Valentine’s Day.

Reunion Dinner

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Revelation 19:1-9

Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb! —Revelation 19:9

Many Chinese go to great lengths to attend a traditional annual reunion dinner with their families. Held on the eve of the Lunar New Year, the reunion dinner usually takes place at the home of their parents or eldest sibling.

Chinese working overseas have to arrange their travel bookings early to ensure they have tickets for the heavily booked airline flights and bus journeys. To fail to book early is to risk missing out on the family reunion.

The Bible tells of an even more important reunion dinner in heaven. Revelation 19:9 calls it “the marriage supper of the Lamb.” Unlike the Lunar New Year reunion dinner, however, no one knows the date for this event except God (Matt. 24:36). Nor do we have to worry about making travel arrangements.

Who is invited to this heavenly reunion dinner? All those who belong to God’s family will be there, “those who believe in [Jesus’] name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” (John 1:12-13).

Will you be at the reunion dinner in heaven? You can secure your place at the heavenly banquet by trusting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior today.

How Can You Have The Assurance Of Heaven?
Recognize your sinfulness (Rom. 3:23); believe Jesus died for you (Acts 16:31); receive Him as Savior (John 1:12); trust His promise (John 20:31).

Christ believed is salvation received and heaven assured.

Bible in One Year: Leviticus 14; Matthew 26:51-75

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

Sgt. Adam J. Ray, USA, KIA Afghanistan 9FEB2010

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

God Of Our Fathers



Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, among these who answered the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

The Soldier

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
