Purging, Sanctification, Perfecting

[smallnmighty]

Our life, when you think about it, is a huge bouquet of roses. As we mature we get to choose which ones we keep and which ones we are through with. To honor the elements we want to safeguard, we have to clear out the encumbering weight that no longer serves. Yeah, those dead roses certainly brought color and fun to our life while they lasted and…..we have a responsibility, to ourselves, to differentiate between possibilities and wilted would-be’s, and know how to let the latter go. And no else can say, really, what’s still good, what works, what doesn’t, except us. This intimate selection needs to be artful, gentle, thoughtful (i.e. remove brownish petals and it will look fab). At times it can also be obvious, immediate, thought-free (yup, that here is a dead flower). Either way, no one can do this but us.
