-A yellow rose symbolizes friendship, happiness, and warmth-
This week my "Heart & Keeper of the Home" mentor group planted a rose bush in honor of my Mom. We have done this for a couple of years now in our group. After the passing of someone dear to us instead of sending perhaps 12 bouquets of flowers, that would soon be gone, we decided to plant a rose bush from all of us, something that would last. On one such occasion I was searching the rows and rows of rose bushes at my favorite nursery in town, a little overwhelmed with the choices when I came across this beautiful yellow rose named "Welcome Home", I knew I had found just the one for our group gift, as we are comforted knowing our loved ones are welcomed into Heaven, their eternal home - healed, whole, and complete! Now with the passing of my Mom this last June a rose bush was being picked out for me...
I was reading up on this particular rose after my dear friends planted it and read, "it is a rose that radiates warmth like a light in a window." I loved that. It reminded me of each girlfriend surrounding me in the picture, each one of them have brought me warmth from their love and support and have been light in the dark days of my grieving.
I picked this spot in the yard for them to plant the rose bush, because when I sit in the living room to read my bible and do my devotions this is what I look out on. Thank you!
"You are the light of the world.
A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket,
but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all that are in the house.
Let your light so shine..."
Matthew 5:14-16
