Welcome to my Garden!
Our Granddaughter, Katie, seeing herself for the first time in the
fairy-princess dress I made her for her birthday. They grow so fast!
She is now 17.

ALL THAT IS PRECIOUS
All that is precious,
Dear Lord, to me,
All that is precious,
My home, my family.

All that is precious,
A country that is free,
All that is precious,
May it ever be.

All that is precious,
God's living Word, so true.
All that is precious,
Lord, my faith in You.

All that is precious,
Includes each Christian friend.
All that is precious,
To be treasured unto the end!

Welcome to my Garden!
Lincoln Memorial in D. C.
This was a man that was certainly "faithful to the finish."

FAITHFUL TO THE FINISH
Faithful to the finish,
I want to win this race.
Faithful to the finish,
I'll let God set the pace.

Faithful to the finish,
Though hard may be the way.
Faithful to the finish,
I'll take life, day by day.

Faithful to the finish,
Though my steps may be slow.
Faithful to the finish,
As through this life I go.

Faithful to the finish,
From the path I will not roam.
Faithful to the finish,
Each step I take... leads home!

THE TIME HAS COME
The time has come...
For Christians to take a stand.
The time has come...
To unite hand in hand.

The time has come...
To give evil a shove.
The time has come...
To call on God above.

The time has come...
To get on our knees and pray.
The time has come...
To tell of Jesus today.

The time has come...
To be in God's word each day.
The time has come...
To teach others His way

Welcome to my Garden!

PANIC OR PRAY?
If you pray,
Don't panic.
If you panic,
Don't pray.

If you panic,
God is not on the scene.
If you pray,
Say what you really mean.

If you panic,
You lose your concentration.
If you pray,
You gain inspiration.

If you panic,
You lose your way,
If you pray,
You save your day!

Welcome to my Garden!
This is the cemetery in Salzburg where the Von Traps hid during the Nazi
takeover, in Austria. Hitler certainly had no tolerance for some people.

TOLERANCE
Tolerance...
With your fellowman.
Tolerance...
Will help you understand.

Tolerance...
When others seem crude.
Tolerance...
When someone has been rude.

Tolerance...
When evil seems to win.
Tolerance...
When betrayed by a friend.

Tolerance...
When others do not forgive you.
Tolerance...
In all you say and do!

God's unfailing love,
Will see us to that distant shore.
God's unfailing love,
Will be with us forevermore!

KINDNESS
Kindness is a universal language
Spoken by every tribe and tongue.

In places that are far flung.

In every situation.

All across this great, nation.

A little better place.

This life's stressful pace.

Across the sea and land.

This is our Katie when she was small.

EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL
Everything is beautiful
In its own place.
Everything is beautiful,
The smile upon a child's face.

Everything is beautiful
Even young, true love.
Everything is beautiful,
The nesting of a dove.

Everything is beautiful,
The lines upon a older face.
Everything is beautiful
Satin and old lace.

Everything is beautiful,
For God created it all, you see.
Everything is beautiful...
Even you and me!

"He has made everything beautiful in its time"

THE WAY HOME
The way home
May seem obscure.
The way home
May seem unsure.

The way home
May lead through water's deep.
The way home,
May be a path so steep.

The way home
May be filled with sorrow.
The way home
May have an uncertain tomorrow.

The way home
As I follow the light from afar;
The way home
Has a guiding star.

The way home
I shall find in the end;
The way home
Leads to an everlasting friend!

Welcome to my Garden!
This is Francis Scott Key's"Star Spangled Banner," that flew over
Fort Mc Henry in 1814. It now hangs in the Museum of Natural History
in Washington D.C. (The last time we were there they were working on
the restoration of it.) Since today is flag day, be sure to fly your flag.

A FLAG IN TROUBLE
In over two-hundred years
I have proudly flown,
Over hill and dale
And the great white foam.

I've been torn and stomped
And have seen much blood shed.
I have been loving draped
Over a soldier's last bed.

Now, I am not waving,
So proud and true,
But trembling with worry...
Is my job through?

I've been America's symbol
Of freedom's last stand,
My future is now...
In America's own hand!

God bless America!

In the sun's bright ray.

Over-shadows all sin
God's glory
Will always win.

God's glory,
Now in part do we see.
God's glory
Awaits in heaven for thee!

Calming the storm
Is Jesus, you see.

Calming the storm,
The winds obey.
Calming the storm,
He's with you today!

That makes the Angels sing!

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made
Psalm 139: 14

YOU ARE WONDERFULLY MADE
You are wonderfully made
In the image of God.
You are so much more
Than a bit of dirt and sod.

You are wonderfully made,
Knit together in the womb.
A miracle of God,
A flower in full bloom.

You are wonderfully made
A masterpiece from God, you see.
God loves His creation,
That's why He loves thee.

You are wonderfully made,
On the Master Potter's wheel.
He shapes and trims you,
So you may do His will.

Forgive everyone today.

You are not the judge of others.
Walk your talk,
Love your sisters and your brothers.

Welcome to my Garden!
My true love and partner in the "seasons of life"

SEASONS OF LIFE
Seasons of life,
Come to us all
Learning to walk,
We falter and fall.

The seasons of life,
Being young and carefree,
Finding true love,
Starting a family.

The seasons of life,
Children grow-up, move away.
Nothing stays the same,
It changes each day.

The seasons of life,
Enduring stormy weather.
Walking hand in hand,
We've grown old together.

Freda's Garden:

Welcome to my Garden!
This is our graduating seniors at church.
from left to right. David Ahia, Victoria Heuler, Michelle Blanchet
and Christian Heuler. Don Goodwin, our youth minister, honored
them yesterday. A great tribute and great service.
Today's poem was written in June 1992, for our graduating class.
Ron Stow was our youth minister and asked me to write something.
Our graduating seniors that year were Tom Anderson, Georgia Crowson,
John Lantz and Scott Paden. So to our graduating class this month,
This is my advice to you.

REACH OUT FOR YOUR DREAM
Reach our for your dream
On your graduation day.
Stay on the path,
Make God's way your way.

Do not dream of things,
This world thinks are grand.
Look to your Savior,
For Him take a stand.

Do not measure successes
By the world's tarnished rule,
For Proverbs calls
such a one fool.

Measure your successes,
By the golden rule
And the things you were taught
In Sunday School.

Reach out for your dream,
For your life, have a vision,
Make God's Word your guide,
For each important decision.

Look to the future,
But remember the past,
Seek not life's quick-silver,
But things that will last.

Honesty and kindness
A love that is true
And all the good things in life,
Will surely come to you.

Doing His  good will.

In everything you do.
Joy in the Lord,
Will surely follow you!
