My yard thinks it's spring with the mild temps we've had all weekend. These roses are ready to bloom in the middle of December. I spotted them out the window while I ate lunch today and was clearly reminded of a lovely Christmas carol we've been learning in YW:
When blossoms flow'rd amid the snows
Upon a winter night
Was born the Child the Christmas Rose,
The King of Love and Light
— from Gesu Bambino
When blossoms flow'rd amid the snows
Upon a winter night
Was born the Child the Christmas Rose,
The King of Love and Light
— from Gesu Bambino


A simple and beautiful reminder of the Savior in the middle of an ordinary day.
