GOD'S GIFT
As I walked through the Garden of Life, observing all Gods creations. A place I often visited when lonely or seeking God's wisdom. I came across a woman whose beauty, when compared to a red rose had not quite yet come to bloom. Standing there so tall and proud...her petals drawn tight as though she were protecting herself from all that was around her. She seemed alone and totally independent of all that was close to her. So beautiful, and yet so fragile, her petals were as soft as velvet but firm, as she seemed to draw them ever so tight. Observing her movements I could tell her time to blossom was near.
As the sun began to rise over the garden she turned and reached for its warmth. While the Sun climbed higher in the sky she began to open, as if by magic, stretching her petals wider and wider until she was at full bloom. At that very moment, I knew, God had meant her just for me. I softly drew her face against mine, and feeling her moist tender skin against my cheek reminded me of the morning dew on a rose petal. Her skin was as soft as silk and as sweet as the fragrance of a rose blooming in the morning sun. Her mere existence tantalized all my senses. Her scent was as a sweet as a breath of fresh air from heaven. It was evident, she was a rose like none other I had ever seen, a once in a lifetime experience.
Was she meant for me, to claim for my very own or had God put her there for all to see and enjoy? There was no doubt in my mind that I had been blessed seeing her blossom for the first time.
Closing my eyes, my mind filled with visions of her in my arms and my heart fluttered with the joys of Love. At that point I knew she was put there especially for me .... I knew in my heart as long as we shared Gods wisdom we would blossom together forever and ever...
Falling to my knees, and looking towards the heavens, I could hear God softly say, THE TIME IS NOW! TREAT HER WELL- FOR IT IS YOUR TURN ''
Sleep well my friend, wherever you may be-------YMIRon
