While Flowers Die

"Dead leaves lay still until the wind takes them here and there: even the last flower is withered: yet there is a beauty in decay. " Quote by _Constance La France Although her body rots beneath the earth, her happy soul awaits its second birth. * I was thinking of a line in Charles Wesley's 'Hark, the herald angels sing': "Born to give them second birth." written 5th June for Constance's D quote contest

Nice memorial for her. Look at John Wesley Torchlighters for Charles Wesley. I saw it today.

If she died in the faith in Jesus, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Great thought penned for the contest. Way to go. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara
