Roses


This is one of many photos I have taken at rose gardens, both in Portland, Oregon and in Omaha. I have loved roses for a long time and they have brought me peace and comfort at different times. My favorite saint is St Therese of Lisieux the Little Flower and she has answered me so many times with roses. I'm praying she'll send one for those I care about that they can be healed.
One thing I like about roses is that each one is so unique. Even if there are the same variety of roses, the characteristics of each of them are different. Each petal has its own size and shape and color and combined they make a beautiful rose.
The same could be said about people, I suppose. You could even go so far as to see that each person in a family or a group of friends are the "petal" and together they make a beautiful rose with unique patterns and colors.
