A Foretaste of Heaven

Everybody needs a special place to relax and think about
things good - like family, God and the wonderful world
he made for us. So come into our garden - it is such a place. These pictures are a sample, like the beauty found here on God's earth. Look around you and try to imagine beauty ten thousand times (plus) more beautiful than anything you see on this planet. Why would anybody chance missing it?














Walk across our bridge for a relaxing brunch. Enjoy the sounds of birds singing and water running over rocks. You might hear frogs, or even see a hippo spouting water. Close your eyes and imagine wonderful things.

God gave us beauty in the form of flowers and plants, rocks, water, a hillside, and retirement. He seemed to be saying, "Put these things together and see what you can come up with. With a shovel, a pump, some pipe, and lots of work we put together our own little Eden - it even has an apple tree. It has taken three years of loving labor to create a 70 foot stream, waterfalls, pond and garden - God did the whole earth in six days; now that's impressive! I did it for Phyllis -- She did it for me. God did it for all of us, then he said, "just wait until you see the real thing."
