When my sister was in college, she learned about St. Therese of Lisieux, the Little Flower, whose symbol was the rose. After a difficult exam, if my sister would see a rose, then she knew she passed it. Roses became her special sign. I used to say that St. Therese got my sister through pharmacy school. St. Therese also helped us when we were traveling together and found ourselves lost. St. Therese would send roses to show us the way. A truck would pass us with a picture of a rose, a trail of rose petals would be scattered on the ground before us, a bride would walk past with a white rose bouquet, an ad with a rose would be posted on a billboard, we would follow the rose signs with every confidence that they were leading us to where we needed to go—and they always did.
Follow the roses

My sister and I have a flower we share together too, and it’s the Gardenia. Gardenias say “You’re lovely.” It’s a wondrous sign for sisters to both share a flower sign together. The Rose bond you have with your sister is exhilarating, beautiful, and spiritually moving . . . And you’re BOTH lovely. 😀❤
That’s lovely that you share a flower sign with your sister too. And, thank you for the idea to write about gardenias! 🙂
That is so true! And the number of people who have clothes with roses on them really help guide the way when I’m not sure which direction to go 🙂 Thanks St. Therese!
Glad you can relate to following the roses!
Ahhh, love this story! Thank you posting❤️

We really need to keep our eyes and ears open so we aren’t missing important things right in front of us!
It’s nice to remember that good signs are all around us.
