Dallas Arboretum, Spring 2018 {Rose Garden}

Our first stop after lunch at the DeGolyer Restaurant was the rose gardens. Except for the amaryllis and a few lonely irises, the spring bulbs have long since bloomed out, but we found the roses at the perfect time. We even caught a glimpse of Cinderella under the bower of pink roses. :) I pray these photos refresh your spirit.

O dear Lord Jesus,

Thou lovest me,

I do not know at all

How that can be.

But, dear Lord Jesus,

I know it's true,

True as that grass is green,

And skies are blue.

So, dear Lord Jesus,

Help me to be

Thy loving little child,

Pleasing to Thee.
