Beauty in the garden..

Westerland roses are one of my favourite roses,. They didn't survive the harsh, cold winter,  but I'm not giving up to have them for several years. 

A in Gaza posted this today: 
I have never been bitter over the fact that I'm born with disabilities. But I never imagined what my disabilities would mean during this horrendous war. The bombs over our heads, everyone running. Impossible to use the wheelchair, so I had to crawl  centimetre by centimetre, beside me dead bodies all over, some I had to crawl over....people in panic running over me, I was screaming of pain and fear, shouting, begging for help. Then I turned to God, asked Him to give me legs to walk with, just for half an hour, just enough to run and flee like the others.  Today I struggle with guilt that I asked for the impossible. Today I beg God for forgiveness saying that I was so scared, so insane scared.

Like so many others, A is just trying to cope hour for hour, and it will take a long time before she is able to even get near those feelings towards those responsible for all the bombs, the massacres, the starvation and homelessness.... Over 2 millions are traumatised. I can even imagine how a whole population will heal.
