Carousel Rose:  To me, the carousel rose is beautiful, unique and metaphorical.  Much like our lives the carousel of life is constantly moving up and down and round and round.  We must remember to hold on tight to our faith in order to continue the journey before us.  Like the carousel rose, our lives are strong yet fragile, long lasting yet short lived.  This week as you struggle with the ups and downs of everyday living, I pray that; We all hold on to His love and His promises.

All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

-2 Corinthians 4:15-16
