The (Day Qod Catted Tfou Home 
God looked around His garden and found an empty space. Then, He looked down upon the earth unci saw 
your tired face. He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest; God's garden must he beautiful for He 
only takes the best. He knew that you were suffering He knew that you were in pain, He knew you ne'er 
>1 on Id get well upon this earth again. He saw the roads were getting rough and the hills were hard to climb 
He closed your weary eyes and whispered. "PEACE BE THINE It broke our hearts to lose you. but you did 
not go alone; For part of us went with you the day God called you home.
