A Christmas Rose
A simple rose. It hardly seemed like enough. I went to the cemetery today to wish my son a Merry Christmas. I had imagined this year to be vastly different. As I sat last Christmas unable to eat more than apples and whole wheat bread, I thought of how much nicer this Christmas would be. But things don't always work out the way you plan them to. So here I am placing a single rose next to a simple monument. The words of my son's namesake printed on top. "Be strong and of a good courage. Be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed. For the Lord thy God is with thee, withersoever thou goest." What a magnificent Christmas this must be for Joshua. To celebrate Christmas with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
