The look and smell of a deep red rose brings me such joy. It is my favorite flower and, as you know, is one of the central aspects of the Iron Rose Sister Ministries logo.
The rose represents an area in which you’d like to grow or bloom, but it also is representative of each of us as Iron Rose Sisters—a beautiful bouquet with a variety of rose colors, smells, and levels of growth.
With our Iron Rose Sisters in mind, I would like to offer a different twist, a new interpretation for the expression “stop and smell the roses.”
The roses I invite you to pause and appreciate are the other women in your life.
Your Iron Rose Sisters are those that can serve as iron sharpening iron, women that can encourage and inspire you to be as beautiful as a rose in spite of a few thorns.
Each rose has its own unique beauty and is blessed with a fragrance that will bring joy. So, take a moment to stop and smell the roses—to appreciate the Christian sisters in your life. And be sure to be a source of joy as an Iron Rose Sister in the lives of your Christian sisters as well.
