Macedonia Baptist Church Deacons
A. L. Frink
Near a shady wall a rose once grew, budded and blossomed in
Gods free light, watered and fed by the morning dew, shedding its
sweetness day and night. As it grew and blossomed fair and tall,
slowly rising to loftier height, It came to a crevice in the wall,
through which there shone a beam of light. Onward it crept with
ADDED STRENGTH WITH NEVER A THOUGHT OF FEAR OR PRIDE, It FOLLOWED
THE LIGHT THROUGH THE CREVICES LENGTH AND UNFOLDED ITSELF ON THE
OTHER SIDE. THE LIGHT, THE DEW, THE BROADENING VIEW WERE FOUND
THE SAME AS THEY WERE BEFORE, AND IT LOST ITSELF IN BEAUTIES NEW,
BREATHING ITS FRAGRANCE MORE AND MORE. SHALL CLAIM OF DEATH CAUSE
US TO GRIEVE AND MAKE OUR COURAGE FAINT AND FALL? Nay! LET US FAITH
AND HOPE RECEIVE' THE ROSE STILL GROWS BEYOND THE WALL, SCATTERING
FRAGRANCE FAR AND WIDE JUST AS IT DID IN DAYS OF YORE, JUST AS IT DID ON
THE OTHER SIDE, JUST AS IT WILL FOREVER'MORE.
We, the family, express our deepest gratitude for all of your prayers,
visits, kind words, and deeds during our time of bereavement. Our
prayer is that God continues to bless and keep you in his loving care.
Special acknowledgements to Reverend Dr. Gregory M. Fuller and
the Macedonia Baptist Church Family. Charles Falls, Jennie Cooper,
