Oh, the Roses!

It's Thanksgiving. Our President and his family have a tradition of going around the holiday table and, one by one, sharing the rose and the thorn in the previous year. We all have thorns, and it's important to acknowledge them, yet we can get so wrapped up in our pain that we fail to open our eyes to the roses. Like you, I can list some thorns from the past year, but oh the roses! I am so grateful to God for the roses! How about you?
