Reflections of Life


 


 


Roses


Roses unfurl their beauty and then get sweeter pleasing the few that see them and then fade.


God's Love is like a rose that slowly unfurls over time getting sweeter and more beautiful as time goes by and pleasing countless that accepts it.


Beautiful for a short time or a life time? It's your choice.


Thorns


My children you may be tempted to be bitter and complain about the situations or places I place you in but remember my children, even the most beautiful or roses has their thorns. To get to the beauty you have to grow thru stages and thorns, learning and perfecting your walk such as the case remember the three Hebrew children thrown in the fire. I was with them and brought them out as gold. To be the most beautiful and fragrant of roses - go thru the thorns and dry spells.


Bloom where you are planted.


 


A Crocheted Blanket


Life is like a crocheted blanket with out the connection of god's love( his hook and yarn), it would ravel and fall apart. Have you used his hook and yarn lately?


LIFE


Life is like a wateringcan- filled to the rim with flowers-put fresh water in it and you get god's heavenly blooms and life. leave the water to go stale and stagant and you get nothing but weeds and death.


Sin looks good at first but like stale water-it grows bitter- and rank and losing it's glitter. It may not neccasirly smell like stagnant water does but has the same end result- -weeds and death.


The living water(holy spirit) is refreshed continually with a never ending supply bringing life and the heavenly blooms of a life pleasing to god.


Which water is in your wateringcan today? fresh or stale?


IT IS YOUR CHOICE

Critique:Hi, this is a nice, thought provoking write. You have chosen some good analogies to represent your faith in God's love, and the choices people make in life and faith. I'm a little confused by the second paragraph, 'Thorns'. You seem to speak here in first person, as though you are God speaking. Unless this is a direct quote from the bible, which should be acknowledged, maybe you should change it to fit in with the rest of your write. There are a number of spelling and grammar issues to correct. For instance, in the first line, what is fading? the roses or the observers? You need some punctuation. //Roses unfurl their beauty and get sweeter, pleasing the few who see them, and then they fade//. Second line 'God's Love' the L doesn't need to be capitalised. 'pleasing countless that accepts it' may read better as 'pleasing countless who accept it'. Life time should be one word. The rest of the write needs reviewing in a similar manner. It is a good, interesting write, but due to the edits needed I am giving only 2 stars. I will definitely come back and upgrade my rating after your edits are complete. Thanks for posting this thought provoking piece.

Critique:I like your writing, you certainly have a clear message. It is plain to see the Lord inspires you and you carry his message well. I also like the ending "It is your choice." I think that is an important statement to include. Thanks for sharing.

Grade:Good
