Every weekday morning, I would take my son Ethan to school in my car when he was young and one winter morning, it seemed the same as any other morning—or so I thought… That day, we piled into our car, and it was a cold day, and we were completely unaware of what we would discover next…
First, we realized that all of our windows were iced over completely. They were covered with what can only be described as extraordinarily similar to solid white-color etched glass windows. The beautiful ice pattern was of roses—and roses completely covered all the windows. I can remember exclaiming to Ethan as if it were yesterday—“They’re roses—they’re roses!” It was just amazing, and I have never seen anything like it before or since. All the windows of the car on all sides were decorated with incredibly detailed roses formed on the ice creating solid white-color rose-patterned frozen stained-glass windows. This was one of the most spectacular things I have ever witnessed. It was indescribable and as if a genius artist had spent hours, detailing lovely roses carved into the ice on every one of our car windows. Tragically, we did not own a digital camera at that time, and we had to see the beautiful windows melt away. I truly feel that only God could have orchestrated such an incredible event for our exclusive benefit.
Song of Solomon 2:1: Beloved I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
Job 38:29-30: Out of whose womb came the ice? And the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it? The waters are hid as with a stone and the face of the deep is frozen.
Job 37:10: By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
GOD’S ROSES
