For the joy of life
I give You thanks, O my God
Thanks for Montana










For the Joy of Life
In the beautiful outdoors
Thank You, O My Lord
We thank Thee for all
The blessings You give us, Lord.
Thank Thee for Jim Reeves!
What a voice!
What a beautiful land we live in…
Let’s take care of it, okay?
Protect the animals,
the trees and flowers, and rivers,
And let’s protect one another, too.

Bob & I are so happy that we were able to sing “Happy Birthday” to our daughter, DeAna this morning. Thank God for the internet! Today is the 53rd anniversary of her birth. She is celebrating it with her son, Chris, and her choir at a retreat in the Alps. Wish we could be there to celebrate with her!

Her tongue was always out… I thought maybe we needed to have the doctor shorten it!!!


This was when she was in second grade.

made her a slip to match her own and curled her hair.
That’s becoming a big girl!!

Such a sweet and talented kid!
Yes, we are blessed!

Celebrating her birthday in Switzerland
at a choir retreat with her son, Chris.
Oh, For Blessed JOY!!!
The joy of a child’s birthday…
Always our baby!

That’s my wedding dress from 25 years earlier…
Ah, sweet memories!
What are some of the JOYS that fill your heart today, my friends?
Is it the great outdoors, the animals, the beauty of God’s creation?
Is it family and the love of staying connected in spite of this pandemic?
Tell me!
See ya tomorrow.
Thanks for visiting!!
Hugs,
JanBeek
