Orchardson's work depicts excellent detail and offers a realistic glimpse into late 19th century life. Note that one can easily determine even the breeds of pigeons shown, ie Old Dutch Capuchines and Old Dutch Turbits. Fabulous work! |

Dear friend in Christ...I am sorry for your loss...I underwent 2 surgeries due to cancer... so I share your pain. December 27th was also my birthday...
Brother Elton,I thank you and your team for the wonderful job your are doing with this site. When things don't go too right, I find consolation in these beautiful songs that remind me of God's love and care.
By the way, I am not as good as Veronica, but I also draw...This is a great work of art: Praise God for the talent(s) He bestows on His children!
God bless you and yours!

Dear Elton & Family,
May God's unlimitless love hold you at this time. The song from Natalie Grant, "Held" shares how we can let the Lord hold us when we are heartbroken and even angry. I pray He comforts you and draws you closer.
Veronica, you have a great gift. I know Eric would want you to pursue your drawing. Blessings to You & Yours,

I really like this picture because it kinda shows me what mother natures about with snow vs. bright sunlight. But it also reminds me of the pictures that i like to take, mostly I take pictures of nature and its beauty to me...

Dear Elton and family,
I love the poem below, for me it truly sums it up. Elton, I am so sorry to hear Eric has passed. Now, at least he rests without pain and in peace.
Btw, WH Auden is wrong. Love does last forever, it is within us, it warms that which is cold and brings light to the dark. For nothing to come to any good truly would be loss. By Eric's very existence example and influence, the good, indeed the great, is already in progress.
--------------------------------------------------
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone - W. H. Auden
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good. |

Thank you for sharing with us the joy of your precious loved one. As I read Eric's story I cried for your loss and also I had tears of happiness that he is such an inspiration for those of us doing our best to touch the heart of children with the Love of God.
I came upon your website several weeks ago desperately looking for an activities my students could do with the holiday lesson and I found a wonderful jigsaw puzzle and memory game - the kids just loved them - I brought 3 laptops right into the classroom. I came back today looking for more help (God is so good and you are so faithful in being there). My heart sank when I realized that between the time I was here before and today, that Eric was gone. I had not taken the time to read before. I was so very sad for that. I am so very happy that he has such wonderful family and friends - he truly was blessed while here, and now he is with our Lord. Thank you Veronica for the picture.

Dearest Pat, I want to send my sympathy to you and your family on the lost of your precious grandson. Being a Grandparent is such a blessing to us, but having a Grandma is a blessing for them. Especially a Grandma who loves the Lord and lives his example in front of them. You and your family will continue to be in our prayers.

Hi, I just saw this as I was looking for ideas & games for my class's Sunday lesson.
I just happen to come on this site & read about Eric. I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that God sends angels to minister to your hearts. **Also Psalms 147:3**.
Reading this also made me think of my own brother who had a birthday the day after Eric passed. This makes me more determined to pray & fast even more for my own brother's salvation.
Thank you for sharing parts of yours & Eric's story, it really touched my heart.
Your family is in my prayers.
*God bless you*

Pat, I'm so sorry about Eric. It must be very hard to lose a grandson. I've read some of the messages, and they are so beautiful; I hope they have been an encouragement to you. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers that God will comfort you and walk with you through these days - and we know He will, don't we?

Patsy,
I dont know what to say to comfort. But I know God is there for you and all who mourns for Eric including us here. Listen to the song in this website "You're at peace in his love".....let God works through this song to bring comfort and healing. http://songsofpraise.org/songsearch.php
May the Lord keeps you all in his love at this time.

Hi,
For the past few days I have been on this website (http://gardenofpraise.com/bibleles.htm#jesus)searching for lesson plans and ideas to teach my five year old son during home school. While I am reading the different stories, I keep thinking to myself, "It is wonderful to see someone is spreading the Living Word"! Today though was the first day that I actually looked at the full web page and saw this about Eric. My heart sank.But as tears are in my eyes at this very moment,it is of joy and peace to know Pat, that you know the Lord and the ultimate prize that our Lord Jesus as promised us if we believe. It is truly a wonderful feeling to know that he had someone his life that lived and spoke of Our Lords Word. I pray this very moment that God may comfort your family during this time of lost.
With much love
