Roses

Yesterday I received 2 dozen long stem roses at work. They were delivered Fedex. And the two coworkers that brought them to me were very happy for me. They helped me really feel good about the experience in that I really felt deep down a wonder instead of all the confusion about the flowers.

Today I am very confused for the person that sent them to me is not responding to my thank yous.

So I am letting go of why I have them and simply believe I am loved. I touch them and smell them and I smile. I am still overwhelmed at moments that they are real.

Maybe this is simply a learning lesson to completely trust God and put everything in His hands.
