The Innocence of Children

A little girl walked daily to and from school. Though the weather that morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her daily trip to school. As the afternoon progressed, the winds whipped up, along with thunder and lightning.

The mother of the little girl felt concerned that her daughter would be frightened as she walked home from school, and she herself feared that the electrical storm might harm her child. Following the roar of thunder, lightning, like a flaming sword, would cut through the sky. Full of concern, the mother quickly got in her car and drove along the route to her child's school.

As she did so, she saw her little girl walking along, but at each flash of lightning, the child would stop, look up and smile.

Another and another were to follow quickly, each with the little girl stopping, looking up and smiling. Finally, the mother called over to her child and asked, "What are you doing?"

The child answered, "Smiling. I am trying to look pretty, God just keeps taking pictures of me.

Decoding the Color of Roses

I am sure everyone has heard that red roses signify true love and passion, which is why red roses are in high demand during Valentine’s Day; but what do the other colors of roses mean? Whether you are in a new relationship and not ready to give red roses, or you simply want to congratulate your friend for a job well done, I am going to help you decode the color of roses, so you don’t send mixed signals to the recipient.

Red Roses:  mean love, passion, true love, deep love and everlasting love. Red Roses are generally reserved for your partner.

Dark Pink Roses also represent love, but a simple and light hearted love, possibly a new love or relationship.

Light/Pale Pink: Roses are given to express sympathy.

Blue Roses mean mysterious. Perhaps you are trying to understand your partner?

Purples Roses represent love at first sight and also represent passion.

Green Roses represent fertility.

White and Red Roses together signify love and unity.

White Roses, like a white wedding dress, symbolize purity, innocence and loyalty.

Black Roses are a symbol of death and usually aren’t happily received. However, sometimes black roses can represent a new beginning.

Yellow Roses represent friendship and freedom. These are great flowers to give to your friends.








  

Orange and Peach Roses are given to congratulate someone for a job well done, such as a graduation or a promotion. Orange roses are also usually used in flower arrangements for fall weddings, and peach roses are also a nice way to express sympathy.

PSALM 23.

"Even though I walk
   through the darkest valley,^[a]
I will fear no evil,
   for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
   they comfort me". 

I really love the picture, really relates to Psalm 23. even though its looks scary and such - i had to share it on my blog ;) [ God is with us, rest assured in that, he will never leave us nor forsake us]

Fear growing bigger than faith.

You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind

Celebrating me

I have no cause to be jealous/ envious of anyone else. I did my own things and I got rewarded for them – I feel proud of myself but I cannot just deny the facts that God is my driving force. I just read this post on Inyamu’s Eldorado’s blog “Don’t Jealous me”. It’s a pretty amazing post

Read it: http://www.inyamuakut.com/2011/10/dont-jealous-me.html

And I just realized how easy it has been for me to allow the green eyed monster indwell me. 

Envy is a symptom of lack of appreciation of our own uniqueness and self-worth.  Each of us has something to give that no one else has.  ~Elizabeth O'Connor
