I have this day calendar sitting on my kitchen windowsill and am so encouraged by it everyday when I flip it over. I read the following yesterday and it spoke directly to my heart for the season of life we are in right now:
"Every fall...we would cut our rosebushes back to nearly nothing. For about four months they looked like pathetic little dead sticks from which nothing could every possibly grow again. But when spring came, they blossomed and bloomed profusely...That's what God wants to do with us. He wants us to be His rose garden. He wants us to have beauty and purpose, and to give out a life-giving fragrance to those around us. But first comes the pruning. First comes the period of dead-looking sticks."
