Cherie’s Place – Thought for the Week

Faith is to believe that which you do not see; and the reward of this faith is to see that which you believe.

St Augustine of Hippo (1817-1862)

    Things like this makes me wonder about what makes things look like they do ;-) Beautiful flower.

      I think we are great orchestrators of how things look ;-)

      Thank you, the rose is special to me. I bought the rose plant on what would have been by Dad’s birthday a few months after he passed away.

      Thank you :-) it is a special rose, I am glad the photo worked out.

      Next time you start to type the info line the rest should come up automatically in a drop down list that can be clicked on. It does for me anyway. Is that what you mean?

    Fabulous rose…and quote, Cherry. It’s as old as Hevrews 11:1–”Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” That’s why it’s often called a leap!

    A rose texture conveyed well enough to be felt, CP.

    Faith is a gift, a very precious gift. We can never brag about it, or think oneself better for having it.
    This photo is also a precious gift. So beautiful! Thank you for sharing it, and the thought behind it.

      Faith is a gift and I think it is given in the hope that the receiver of the gift can teach others.

      Thank you Claude the Rose is special to me. The droughty summer had not been kind to it and it was reduced to just a few leaves and stalks. I administered a little TLC to try and revive it and three weeks ago, it grew a few leaves for me and two buds. Three weeks later the larger of the two buds flowered, the result is the bloom in this photo. The bloom is now surrounded by 11 buds :-)

    Beautiful rose.

    Faith isn’t faith if you can see what you have faith in. Then it’s common sense!

    Yes, I believe that too.
