God looked around his garden and found an empty place.  He then looked down upon the earth, and saw your tired face.  He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.  God’s garden must be beautiful he always takes the best.  He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.  He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb.
