On this Father’s day my thoughts turn to my husband, my earthly father and my Heavenly Father. I am so grateful for God’s creations. Summer is fast approaching with its warmth and vibrant colors for all to enjoy! The rose is one of my favorites with its intricate design and satisfying fragrance.

My mom grew the most beautiful roses! I often would cut myself a bunch to take home and enjoy. No matter how careful I was, I always seemed to get poked by a thorn at least once or twice. Perhaps the thorns were God’s way of protecting one of His most beautiful creations.

More valued than the rose is the creation of the human soul. Our mortal eyes often see the imperfections before we see the beauty. Our Father in Heaven looks upon our heart. He sees beauty in all of His children! Look deeper and see the beautiful world we live in!

Beauty is more than skin deep!!!
