Color Wonder

A really good friend came over yesterday to help weed my garden and more. I was telling her about the color wonder roses that were blooming beautifully.
Shawna and I bought the roses and planted them according to our color scheme and design. We had it all planned out. But not one of the bushes has bloomed according to our plan. (FYI: roses purchased at Big Lots are there because they have been mislabeled.)
So instead of our plan and design coming through we have had a fun time watching to see what color would burst out where. And not one has been a standard pink, yellow or red either.
that is how life is also. You see, we set out our plans, we decide what goes in what order and then we 'plant' accordingly. But God has color wonder roses for our lives. We may think we are getting pink roses, but God in his love for us gives us the most beautiful mauve roses instead.
Remember when life changes colors on you to thank God. After all, he has plans for you. Plans that are for the good not the harm. Thank him for the changes he puts in your life, they are blessings.
