From the Rose with Thorns—BEDTIME REFLECTION


From the Rose with Thorns—
Hey! The rose has something for us tonight. The cliché, “every rose has its thorns” may sound simplistic but it has a lot to communicate. The rose flower is one of the most beautiful of all plant creatures. Its fragrance is unique compared to other plants. The rose stays inside the thorns all through its life. In spite of its flamboyance and fragrance, it is surrounded by sharp thorns. 

No human, no matter how beautiful, intelligent and wealthy, is free from thorns of life. Life is beautiful, yet life is surrounded by so many unavoidable problems. A rose is handled with care to avoid pricks from the thorns. Life must be handled with care to avoid pricks from heart breaks, disappointments, failure, etc. Finally, the thorns of a rose protect it from predators. Sometimes what we call problems are actually shields that protect us from the worst. You are a rose, you are wonderful. Goodnight……………….
