Black Rose

My Bestie gave me a Black rose on Valentine's Day.  It meant the world to me.  The gift was so him.  If you know him, it was something I would picture him getting for anyone. I'm blessed that he thought of me.

As he hands it to me, he says, a black rose means more than just death. It has other meanings.

I wanted to cry because this is the first time that I have ever gotten anything from the opposite sex for Valentine's Day (that wasn't from my dad).  I will cherish the gift and memory forever.

It's things like this that make it hard to not love him.  Nope it's not about the gift but the giver. These are the thoughtful things he does that make me fall more and more in love with him.  The Jesus in me loves the Jesus in him.

The black rose can symbolize strength, courage, resistance, the beginning of new things or a journey into unexplored territory.  It inspires confidence and enthusiasm by signaling the birth of a new era of hope and joy. 

I'm taking my gift with joy of all the good things it symbolizes.
