July 2 – Looking Up!

For this image, I placed the camera low beneath the flowers, letting them stretch upward into the sky—a perspective that reveals their quiet reach toward the light.

Daisies belong to the sunflower family and have long been symbols of innocence, purity, and even remembrance. Though simple in form, they have also been used in traditional remedies, as their leaves possess mild anti-inflammatory properties.

Yet beyond their beauty and usefulness, daisies offer a gentle reminder of life’s brevity. Like all living things, they flourish for a season, then fade.

“As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more.” — Psalm 103:15–16

And still, they point upward. Our lives should point beyond ourselves —toward the Son.
