I see I have missed this post. I started out to comment on Holly's most beautiful wall hanging...and then I read further down, knowing there was more to the story. My heart is so saddened by your great loss. There are no right words to say at a time such as this, only that I pray for the Lord to continue to bring peace and comfort. I was mesmerized by your stunning gardens...it put an image in my mind of what I think heaven must look like. Meeting with the Lord in that special place, your beautiful swing overlooking the pond, is a refuge like none I've seen and I am truly in awe of this place you have created. Life is precious. Thank you so much for sharing this bittersweet story and I will continue to remember you and sweet Holly's family in my prayers.

I can't tell you how the beauty...My dear Kim... I can't tell you how the beauty you captured through the eyes of your camera ministered to my soul today. The glorious colors of spring in your garden are about as close to heaven on earth as you can get! The joyous colors of hope and beauty springing forth abundantly all around you, oh how it would make your heart sing! I can understand just how you feel as you sit there by your little pond, and feel the touch of the Master oh so close, and to be able to whisper and know He hears. Such sadness and sorrow for the loss of that dear precious man, and the heartache his family and your family feels, but oh the comfort of sharing that sorrow with the ONE who does understand and know best how to comfort, in such a glorious little haven of rest. My dear, you are blessed to have this place to go in the midst of your sorrow, and I know that your prayers there are making a difference for that precious family. I will most certainly be in prayer with you, many miles away, but our Father hears us just the same, what a thought! Many hugs to you today dear friend, this post today was a joy to my soul. I am so glad to share the joy of spring with you, even as winter is making itself at home here :) Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720710250003549011.post-46359257315235562352016-12-09T16:21:15.797+11:002016-12-09T16:21:15.797+11:00I enjoyed these, Kim.

My sympathy goes out to your friends and to you on the lose of a dear loved one. Your pond and its surrounds must bring you much comfort and joy in times of reflection. It is a beautiful place.
