 | Grace, Love, Rebirth
 | "Bed of Roses" was a movie I saw while on
a women's retreat. A romance, and yet a story of grace. A florist
delivers flowers to a young woman he sees at night crying at her
window. From there, a romance buds and grows to the point of his
asking her to marry him. However, the young woman in the film has
not just a "shady" background, but a "shadowy"
background, as she never knew who her parents were. she eventually
learns to accept the florist's "unconditional love". A
movie full of wonderful imagery of new life and rebirth using
"nature in the city" (a florist shop full of flowers), and
especially in a scene of the florist's own private roof-top garden,
we get a picture of the "new heavens and the new Earth"
with garden (of Eden?) in the foreground, and the city (of
Revelation?) in the background. (submitted by Mary Organ, Kent
