Moss Rose, Spring Branch, TX
After my mother died, my wife and I took some of the moss roses that mom loved and transplanted them into our yard in Texas. The roses initially flourished but then the deer noticed them; and between the deer and the Texas heat, we have not seen a moss rose in our yard for years. Two weeks ago I looked down at the planter, where the moss roses used to be, and saw this beautiful yellow moss rose. I thought during this rather turbulent time, this little yellow rose was a good reminder of what Jesus said about faith, God’s love of flowers, God’s unending love for us and our need to keep our eyes on the things of heaven.
Jesus said, “Notice how the flowers grow. They do not toil or spin. But I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of them. If God so clothes the grass in the field that grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will he not much more provide for you, O you of little faith? As for you, do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, and do not worry anymore. All the nations of the world seek for these things, and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these other things will be given you besides. Do not be afraid any longer, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your belongings and give alms. Provide money bags for yourselves that do not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven that no thief can reach nor moth destroy. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be. ~ Luke 12:27-34
