Parable Of The Rose Within

A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it. He saw the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed thorns upon the stem and he thought, "How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns?"   Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and before it was ready to bloom, it died.   So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The God like qualities planted in us at birth growing amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects. We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually it dies. We never realize our potential.   Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns and find the rose within others.   This is the characteristic of love--to look at a person and know their true faults. Accepting that person into your life, while recognizing the nobility in their soul. Help them to realize that they can overcome their faults. If we show them the rose, they will conquer their thorns.   Only then will they blossom many times over.   As I always say some people grumble that roses have thorns I am thankful that thorns have roses.   Author Unknown

walking in the garden, in the cool of the day:" - Genesis 3:8

Joyful ‘toons

Screenshot of Joyful ‘toons Archived 2009 Website The Christian Cartoons with the Joyful Message – by Mike Waters. First Published - January 6, 2008 What are Joyful ‘toons? Joyful ‘toons are cartoons that are based on verses from the Bible. Each cartoon consists of a verse and a cartoon illustration. It is my prayer that they be used to exhort and encourage Christians in their walk with the Lord, and also that they be used to reach out to those who don’t know Jesus as Lord and savior. About the Cartoonist Mike Waters began drawing cartoons based on Bible verses in the 1990′s. He has always loved drawing cartoons, and one day the idea came to him for a cartoon that would illustrate the relationship between faith and grace. Not long after, an idea for a second cartoon came to him. Mike noticed that the back page of the weekly bulletin at his church was often blank, so he approached the pastor with the idea of using his cartoons to fill that space, and the pastor agreed to Mike's proposal. After that, ideas for other cartoons started coming to Mike, and they became a regular feature of the church bulletin. Mike then thought of sharing the cartoons, which by this time were called Joyful ‘toons. Archived Artist:: Mike Waters © CODE GENERATOR | HTML CODE GENERATOR JoyFul Toons Archived
