Emphasis Preaching Journal

It was late fall and the gardening work had to be finished up. Plants were pulled, compost tilled into the ground, and pruning done. The roses were trimmed, and my job was to cut them up and dispose of them. I began cutting them into even smaller sections and stacking them for the compost pile. Roses are one of my favorite flowers, but the problem with roses is that they have thorns! Even with gloves on the thorns stuck me and I said, "Ouch" several times.
