I just now heard Pastor Xavier's Word for LWC.....

Let the Roses bloom.

Pastor Carolyn, you've grown roses before, so you most likely know this....but when you prune roses if you cut them on the stem where there are 5 leaves, instead of 3 or 7, the roses will bloom again in the same season.  I believe there has been a GRACE (5) as the Lord Himself pruned the roses this year that there have been multiple bloomings of each ROSE.....Each of you are growing and maturing into the image of Him...the Rose of Sharon......

I found the etymology of suppliant being tied to the root of supplicant so God!!!!!!
