Why? Because I can't find fragrant roses for my wife! Why don't florist's have fragrant as well as good looking rose? Asia lillys is all I find that are fragrant. Daphne is also fragrant. But one can not buy that. We have one growing, but it is too early for it yet. So, no flowers for my lady. I was so ticked of yesterday I almost decided to grow my own. Then the florist can stick his non-fragrant good looking roses on the next man's plate!
A very sad thing happened this week. I had a 0251 start. It is our earliest start time. When I put my train up to the station, I was informed some one had hung themselves in the bus shelter next door. The police were in attendance waiting for the coroner to arrive. Why did this man do this? For that matter, why do people step out and stand in front of a fast moving train and suicide? Why? Because for what ever reason they have lost all hope. For them life has become meaningless. They think that they are better of dead and the people around them are better of with out them. That is sad. A couple of years ago a friend of ours had to minister at a funeral of a man who had been angry all his life and had ended it all by suicide. Not only had he committed suicide, most of his family had. That is really sad, How do you communicate to a person that there is hope? That hope is in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ. How do you tell that person that Christ is the answer. When all else is lost there is Christ. He is our friend. He is our ever present help in time of trouble. These are not meaningless mumbo jumbo words. They are truth. Christ is always the first place. Of course we want to do it all ourselves. We think we can. We take medicines to give us a false hope, a quick fix or lift. All that is meaningless. Christ, if only we will do it, will give us all hope. We can cast ourselves on Him. I do hope that we will.
