Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepard; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for You are with me; Your Rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

In his Garden

God looked around his garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth and saw your precious face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful. He only takes the best. He knew that you were suffering. He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road getting rough and 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. Part of us went with you the day God took you home. If tears could build a stairway and heartaches make a lane, We’d walk a path to heaven to be with you again.
