A flower of God's design. But I cannot unfold the petals with these clumsy hands of mine. And the secret of unfolding flowers is not known to such as I.
If I cannot unfold a rosebud, this flower of God’s design, So I’ll trust in Him for leading, I will look to Him for His guidance, The pathway that lies before me, I’ll trust Him to unfold the moments,
Poem written by Pastor Darryl L. Brown, 1974 |
Postscript:My sweet blogging friend Jenni in Texas, wrote me after she read this post and told me about a beautiful song called, "When God Unfolds the Rose," which was written by Frank O'Brien, and performed by Tim Spell. I found this video presentation on YouTube, and it is truly an awesome song. I hope you will take the time to listen to it -- it will enrich and bless your day.
Thank you, Jenni, for sharing this beautiful song.

How absolutely lovely! And how true...
With all your varied subject matter, and all your wide-spread scenes---you still manage to make me smile every morning.
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Janie!
As always, this is so lovely. Thank you, Janie.

Oh how we get things in a mess when we try to 'unfold the rose' faster than God intends. But, we just keep trying. Thanks for sharing this beautiful poem. I had never heard it before. But it is one that is worth remembering!
Beautiful! I especially love the colors in that first one!
Beautiful!
Carolyn
