The Blooming Bush

I walked out front this morning and sat in my rocker on the porch to gaze at the lake and let Auggie run and do his morning business. Than I saw it. The rose bush. This bush was given to me by a family member to console me. When I planted it, I wasn't very hopeful. I have tons of sand out front and the bush looked a little weary. The bush bloomed this morning. Pale yellow and orange roses. Two roses on my little bush. I stared at the roses, smiled and brought my dog and coffee inside. Peace springs forth from some of the most unexpected places.

And may each inch of growth, every new leaf and the new buds be a gift of peace to the soul within.

I wanted to, but alas I am a waitress and Sundays are not a day of rest in my line of work. I am trying to see what other services are availabe, ie Wednesday night bible studies etc..
