Images That Make Me Smile

Today I want to share with you a few images that bring a smile to my face.
This first picture has always been a favorite of mine.
Jake took this many years ago,using a film camera,
but I think it is timeless,and makes me think happy thoughts.
The rest of the pictures are ones I have taken over the past few years.
This Tulip shines with beauty and has a look of sunshine.
What's not to love about Daisies?
I have used this one before on this blog,but it is pretty enough to use again.
The flower for the month of June is a Rose.
How perfect since I love Roses.
Images like this simple Red Rose will bring a smile for sure.
All roses are beautiful,but there is just something about a red one that is special.

I end with  a bud of one of the Wild Roses growing in many ditches.
This bud reminds me to see the beauty of the flower in all stages of growth.
On this day,June 11,1949
Jake and Annie Janzen welcomed their first daughter
and gave her the name Ruth.
Today I am thankful for parents who showed me by example how to live.

Birthdays are blessings as seen through Gods' eyes
In the light of forever we soon realize
that birthdays are given to prompt us
to pause and assess what is precious.
Life might otherwise filter away
like sand in an hourglass day after day.
What a remarkable gift it is
that God has given to us from above:
The gift? It is Life!
And the reason? It's Love.
