A friend of mine always prefaces a compliment by saying, "Now, [name], I'm going to give you a rose."
She prefers to "give roses" while her friends are living and can savor her sweet words and be uplifted by them rather than to give a wreath of roses after her loved ones have passed away.
The Bible says gracious words (pleasant words, kind words) are sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. (See Proverbs 16:24.)
Give a rose to someone today!
