A friend once told me that we are all flowers in the LORD'S GARDEN. She said that when it is our time to be with the Lord he picks us from the garden. He only does this when we have fully blossomed and are ready to make his Heavanly Home more beautiful. So below I list some of the most beautiful flowers this world has ever known
.
This page was created in memory of our nephew Jimmy who's life was suddenly taken by a drunk driver on Janurary 21, 1991. Jimmy was only 21, soon to be 22 when he died. He is greatly missed by his family and friends.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest time in his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it. "LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied "My precious precious child I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you.

A BUTTERFLY LIGHTS BESIDE US
LIKE A SUNBEAM.
AND FOR A BRIEF MOMENT
ITS GLORY AND BEAUTY
BELONG TO OUR WORLD.
BUT THEN IT FLYS ON AGAIN,
AND THOUGH WE WISH
IT COULD HAVE STAYED,
WE FEEL SO LUCKY
TO HAVE SEEN IT.

"If I had never met you,
I wouldn't like you.
If I didn't like you,
I wouldn't love you.
If I didn't love you,
I wouldn't miss you.
But I did,
I do,
And I will.
