Rose Garden by Lydia Carraway
At first glance it was a reaction of "Oh, it beautiful! You got me a journal! You know I've been wanting to write more!". She did not realize in the moment that the three letters were her initials. Then she opened the journal and began reading the dedication page I wrote for her. She became silent as she read. She usually reads out loud. Then she bowed her head and began crying. She's been through a rough year and has been through a very tough life experiencing an assassin's gunshot meant for her missionary father when she was only 16, then having to relocate and not being able to say goodbye to her friends in Puerto Rico, numerous disappointments, betrayal, personal sickness, having to retire to take care of her elderly mother, and so on. I gave her a moment to grieve. I was not expecting tears. I got up and hugged her. It was a beautiful morning as she began reading out loud the verses with her name on them. She was reminded of God's faithfulness and love.
A few days have gone by and I have noticed the journal next to the night stand by the chair she sits on during morning devotions. She's writing her thoughts. She plans to give the completed journal to our daughter next Christmas. I am so proud of by beautiful wife of 38 years!
I got this as a birthday gift for a close friend and it exceeded expectations! It was so beautiful and amazing and I would definitely buy again!!
I think this is a beautiful cover as are all the rest of your journals! This particular cover is for a friend’s birthday in august so she hadn’t seen it yet. But I know she will love it.
The journal was a gift for my mother. I had picked out two similar cover patterns and personalized notes for inside the cover. In error I deleted and then ordered the wrong one, when I emailed PS about this they changed my order to the one I had originally preferred with no problem. The following email confirmed that my top choice was on its way. Mom loved it!
My friend absolutely loved the Rose Garden journal -it looked just like her . She loves Victorian anything
I have been happy with every purchase. Wonderful gifts for the whole family
