We are made NEW...

beautifulfreepictures.com

How would we live our lives

if

we truly realized

that we are

made

 New

in each and every

moment??

We breathe...

moment by moment...

What if

We lived that way too?

We would be free

from our PAST 

and

Who we thought we were...

To live and

BE

Who We Are..

Right Now...!!

Begin today..

And

Live

Each moment

in

 Newness and Joy!!



Hold in prayer...

Let's hold in prayer

all Beings, affected

by changing weather

patterns..

Thank you.

Be the bright spot...

Beautifulfreepictures.com

I almost ignored this simple flower...

and then I realized...She is the bright spot

in an area that seems drab and life less.

Her very brightness,

 might be

just the boost needed

 for more vibrant growth all

around her.

We too,

can be that same

bright spot

for those around us,

and those we encounter

in our daily journey.

Enjoy

being the bright spot

today and each day!!

Makes no difference?

beautifulfreepictures.com

How often have we said our small efforts

make no difference!!

And yet...

The slight tinge of color on the tips

of flowers leaves

catch my eye...

and invite me to

....see the beauty of

the whole!!

Our small efforts

are much more valuable

then we think!!

Vibrantly beautiful...

I love the vibrant color, with the deeper center

edged in white..

The bold yellow with rings of earth brown..

and then..

The soft celery green bud with outstretched arms..

All embraced by arms of rich green!

Does this not express

the Artistry

and beauty

of our Creator?

And lest we forget..

We are the

handiwork

of

that

same

Creator!!!



The gift of layers..

Beautifulfreepictures.com

As I was thinking about these beautiful pink layers,

the thought came to me...

for each petal that you see on Rose..

name a gift or strength

of your own!!

So...

As you marvel at

the beauty of Rose...

Take some time to

marvel at the gift of

YOU...

I see at least 10 petals

Enjoy seeing and naming

the gifts that make

you YOU!!

You call this Beautiful?

I found this Rose yesterday

and I ignored her..and

 chose another!

Something draws me back to her...!

She is so different..

So unusual...

This is not.. in my mind

a very flattering pose...

She looks tired..

crushed...

She has given her all

and she no longer

has the freshness

and

clarity

she once did!

It would be all to easy

to dismiss her..

and yet I can't..

Look at the deep layers

of petals within her..

Oh how I wish she could tell me

her story...

She is beautiful...

in her giving...

in her determination to be

fully who she is..

in all the stages

of her life....

Is this not also true for us??

May I/We..

have the same beauty

and determination

to be

fully who we are

in all the stages of our lives!!

Thank you dear Rose

 for blessing me

 with your wisdom

even after I ignored you!

How easily we forget...

beautifulfreepictures.com

Otter looks a little upset.. 

I think he wants

to remind us

that we have forgotten

how to do something...

What might that be?

How to play!!!

Play and laughter

can renew and enliven us!!

So

Get outside...

and in the beauty of Mother Earth

renew your tired selves

 as you laugh and play!!

Anyone want to blow bubbles!!??

For you...

beautifulfreepictures.com

As you see and admire

 the beauty in

Rose..

Choose today

and

each day

to see

the beauty in YOU!!
