“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.” – Anonymous (some say Abraham Lincoln)

(My Thoughts:)

Ever had a dessert with rose syrup and rose petals inside? They are just so yummy and they make you connect to nature. I highly suggest trying rose flavored desserts as they have a nice flower aroma and make you feel closer with nature. Besides that, they have many health benefits as well. However, when it comes to roses and thorns, one thing is for sure: the thorns that went on Jesus’s head. I always wonder just how much that would hurt and how can someone take a beating for that long. It’s as if he was not human and the fact he was able to stand all of that beating, was enough to know that he came from above. That he was sent here for a specific purpose to be delivered by him.

Basketball 

I remember one time when I was a kid I was playing basketball and I turned around jumped and made a shot. At the same time, I feel backwards towards a rose tree and ended up with like 30 spikes in my back which hurt really bad that I couldn’t play anymore. I remember I was bleeding and each spike that was taken out was hurting but later on I did recover. Many international desserts have rose desserts and are very addicting. Give it a try if you haven’t already.

Flowers 

At the same time I want to talk about flowers and that they remind me of the death. Sure, they may seem happy little plants but It’s hard for me to feel happy about them. It’s just that flowers are everywhere in the graveyard, so it just resembles that every time I see it.
