Roses

This world is full fo many types of roses today. What many do not understand is why the beauty fulfills them to say in a time of trail[s]. They say jsut stop and smeel the roses. Roses do come in many sizes from tiny to huge. They are also in a vary of colours that makes them so attractive to many. They grow on vines that are like many of our lives today tangled around somethnd without support. Some grow in a form of a bush. Many are fooled by the way they are bought at the store. srtaight and thronless. That is the way many lives arr people are willing to fool even the greatest person even their own family. Roses are also good for the great throns on them. In our lives we have throns that poke and even stabe the life out of you that blood is withdrawn so many times that the pain is absent from the trama of the stab. These throns can be from the past wounds that is trying to heal, but can not for the torns that are still there. As Paul stated in the Bible its like a thron in the side reminding me daily. Why does these wounds never heal really is a good point many might love the pain, this is a daily crave wanting to feel the pain not knowing that the painis not a way out but a cry for help to those around them. Just like the roses it loves to be smelled and picked, but its greatest joy is causing pain to those who come near them. Like humans they throw and stab others with their thorns to get them feeling the same way. We feel hated by those that are the closest in out lives. We try to make them fell the greatest throns we throw. How can we help? We can only help when our thorns are gone and then we can help others. In the Bible it states why remove tthe speck of your brothers eye when you have a plank in your eye. First remove the plank in your own eye than help your brother. Why do people really say stop and smell the roses when the bees are active also to help the roses harm those that even come near them. Many roses die do tolack of support in thier bunch. Like humans we die inside when we have pushed all the people out of out lives. When we say stop and smell the roses we should just stop and think of what we have done in our lives. we are just like them in many ways. Listen t the roses what do they say is it postive or negative like our own words, which can be form of thorns. This harm can be the simplest thing doen to destory a person even a rose of beauty. So stop and explore the roses before you stop and smell them. For me I think the best thing is t go and smell the carnations that are a simple flower that is beautiful without any harm only the bees, but they only crave the sweetness of the honey within the flower.
