God’s Garden – God looked around his garden; and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth; and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you; and lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful; he always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering; he knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well on this earth again. He saw the road was getting rough; and the hills were hard to climb. So he closed your weary eyelids; and whispered ‘Peace be thine.’ It broke our hearts to lose you; but you didn’t go alone. For part of us went with you; the day God called you home.
