Petals, sweetpea! I have very, very few thorns in my life as I am blessed beyond measure to have the Lord give me rose petals. True, I'm tellin' ya...... xoxo, Connie
Beautiful photo! Oh I have BOTH! I am sincerely blessed and am so very grateful for all the petals in my life. However, the 'thorns' help me to grow and remember how very blessed I actually am! It is all about the gratitude and balance. Without the thorns, I probably wouldn't recognize the petals!
It is a beautiful photo...and I agree with Sherri S. Without life's trials,hardships or challenges how would we know those things that are special blessings in our lives. So Petals&Thorns, that is what makes you grow stronger in the things that you face and more grateful for the blessings that you receive.
Beautiful photo Polly...I think Sherri S. knocked the answer out of the park...I'd say "my words exactly" but I am not sure they would have been as eloquent... ;)
All of the thorns in my life are what has made me into the beautiful flower that I am today with all of the beautiful petals beyond the thorns there are always petals.
Monday = Petals or Thorns?

ReplyDeleteYou need both. The thorns to remind you of how lovely the petals can be.
ReplyDeleteSometimes roses and sometimes thorns, but always beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI agree, without the thorns, we wouldn't see the beauty of the petals.
