MY FLOWERS

Birthday

My birthday wish this year - to get some nice good sleep.

Responsibilities

Each member of our family received its own strictly defined responsibilities: dad - takes burping walks, grandmother - gives morning baths, mom - feeds.
The whole family is busy.

Our Collection

We did our job of drinking apple juice well, and this is the collection of free containers that we got with each juice pack we bought. I think I finished all juices in Bangalore that had this offer!

Unfolding the Rosebud

It is only a tiny rosebud,
A flower of God's design;
But I cannot unfold the petals
With these clumsy hands of mine.

The secret of unfolding flowers
Is not known to such as I.
God opens this flower so sweetly,
In my hands it will fade and die.

If I cannot unfold a rosebud,
This flower of God's design,
Then how can I think I have wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?

So I'll trust in Him for His leading
Each moment of every day.
I will look to him for His guidance
Each step of the pilgrim way.

The pathway that lies before me,
Only my Heavenly Father knows.
I'll trust Him to unfold the moments,
Just as He unfolds the rose.
