REPLY TO CHARLES-MY CROSS IN THE WOODS MARCH 23, 12
CHARLES - AFTER SEEING YOUR PHOTO OF THE CROSS YOU MADE WHICH IS BEAUTIFUL-I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU A GARDEN
I VOLUNTEERED TO MAKE AT MY CHURCH 25 YEARS AGO. A SENIOR IN MY CHRISTIAN CHURCH HAD MADE A GLORIOUS
PRAYER GARDEN ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE CHURCH. HOWEVER AFTER HE PASSED ON THE GARDEN FADED AWAY.
ONE SUNDAY THEY WERE ASKING FOR A VOLUNTEER TO CREATE A NEW GARDEN. NO ONE RAISED THEY'RE HAND. I
KNEW IT WOULD TAKE MORE THAN ONE PERSON TO BRING BACK THE PRAYER GARDEN BUT I RAISED MY HAND AND SAID I
WILL MAKE A NEW GARDEN FOR YOU.
IT TOOK ME 2 WEEKS TO CLEAR THE GARDEN AREA. THERE WERE 2 PARK BENCHES THAT WERE RUSTING AWAY.I RESTORED
THEM. I PURCHASED SLATE STEPPING STONES AND HAND PAINTED VERSES FROM KJV. THE BEST WAS I HAD COME ACROSS
STEEL LETTERS MY DAD HAD HAD GIVEN ME. THERE WERE 13 DIFFERENT LETTERS AND NO J, I ENVISIONED JESUS IN THE
CENTER OF THE GARDEN.A FRIEND OF MINE WAS A WELDER SO I ASKED HIM IF HE CUT CUT THE STEEL LETTER U TO MAKE
A J. HE SAID NO PROBLEM. THE PHOTOS OF THE GARDEN THAT WERE TAKEN I SCANNED INTO MY COMPUTER SO YOU COULD
SEE THE PRAYER GARDEN.
I HAD BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH CARPAL TUNNEL, AND AT A ANNUAL HEALING MASS AT THIS CHURCH I WAS HEALED
PRAISE GOD. I WANTED TO GIVE SOMETHING BACK TO THE CHURCH AND THE LORD FOR HEALING ME. THE GARDEN
WAS MY GIFT TO BOTH.
CHARLES YOUR CROSS -IN THE CROSS OF CHRIST WE GLORY-BECAUSE WE REGUARD IT AS A MATCHLESS EXHIBITION OF THE
ATTRIBUTES OF GOD.
