Our days are numbered in the garden of life Isaiah 40: 7-8 A flower grows and a flower dies Because the breath of our Lord breathes upon it Surely the people are like grass. The grass withers, and the flowers fades But the word of our Lord lasts forever Ecclesiastes 103:15-17 As for man, his days are like grass: As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and remembered no more. But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting On those who fear Him, And his righteousness to children's children. In our hearts, It gives us comfort to know you are in a glorious garden, With Our Lord.
