In Memoriam In Loving Memory of Our Dear Son Jason L. Williams Oct. 7,1968 - March 27,1988 It’s been 21 years since you left us, To go to your heavenly home - In one aspect, it seems like an eternity and in Another, it seems like it was only yesterday. There’s such a void in our hearts, That not even time has healed. We know God lent to us a beloved son For 19 wonderful years. We truly thank Him for the short time We had you here on this earth. You were a freshly blossomed flower, Full of gentleness and peace. Your smiles and humor warmed our lives like sunshine. Your Christ-like love never ceased. We will reminisce and talk of your life so fdled with fun. We are so saddened because your life here had just begun. We know that the heavenly choir has your voice so sweet And that you are so happy as you sit at our Father’s feet. Yes, we miss you so much, Jason, And sometimes we feel so alone. Yet, we’re thankful to know you’re safe now, In your heavenly home.

Nonna's Fun and Learn Keeping Kids, Day A Night Millen (478) 982-0079 (912) 481-8193 God Is In Control One of my colleagues at work has a picture on her desk of two sparrows talk ing to each other, and one sparrow is asking the other “Why do people always seem to be rushing around and fretting about everything?” The other sparrow responds “I don’t know, but perhaps they don’t have a God who watches over them as our God watches over us.” How ironic that we should need to be reminded of God’s watchful, loving eyes by little birds. Sometimes it is as if we are literally carrying the weight of the whole world on our own narrow shoul ders. And, no one’s shoulders are broad enough for that. God’s expectations for us are modest. He wants us to love and care for our fellow human beings as best we can; but, He isn’t expecting us individually to be responsible for the entire planet. So, we should relax. God is in control, and therefore even when it may not appear as if all things are going according to some cosmic, divine plan, we must know that they are unfolding exactly as they should. As the Zen master says, “The snowflake never falls in the wrong place.” Are not two sparrows sold (or a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's will. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. R.S.V.
