A flower’s full bloom is its prayer
not to die. We have about 25 Rose of
Sharon trees that line our back property.
Rose of Sharon blooms are so beautiful but they come out in the morning
and then close and fall to the ground that night. I was looking at them this morning and was
reminded of the verse in the Bible that the whole earth groans under the
fall. I stopped to wonder what it would
sound like if we had ears to hear. A great
wailing of sorrow must continually be observed in the spiritual realm as all
the earth cries out over the injustice of death. That is why roses bloom so beautifully and
oak trees grow so tall. It is their
prayer to be spared from death. Oh for
the “new heaven and new earth” and a stop to beautiful blooms lying dead in my
back yard.
