Her grief was deep, but not silent. She moved through the garden, each step heavy, each breath a mix of sorrow and reverence. When she reached the tomb, her heart sank. The stone was rolled away and the guards were gone…
One of my favorite and most relaxing times is spent in the gardens, walking down the pathways in the early morning hours. The sun is barely up as I begin; dampness from the night still lingers in the air. The leaves of trees and flowers glisten with morning dew. Even though I took the same walk late the evening before, I always find something new along the paths. A beautiful flower may be blooming today, and only today. If I had chosen to not take the walk, I would have missed it!
Free Download to all of our loyal readers. Our gift to you as we end this year is a notecard that you can print and write a note of encouragement to someone who needs hope. There is always someone facing more difficult situations than what you may be going through. When we reach to others, it is healing to our own heart, body, and mind. Please use the notecards to be an encourager. We also are providing a FB cover image to use on your own FB page.
The Christmas Village is all in lights and the train is moving through the sleepy town of Spring Meadows! There is definitely a feeling in the air that Santa will soon be here!
Driving south on Hwy 231 out of Pell City, to your right sitting on a hill is Coosa Valley Baptist Church, a beautiful old church with white clapboard siding and interesting roof lines. The steeple and windows add even more architectural charm. The church, established 1840, also served as a school for many years.
