~Garden of the Good Shepherd~

This is a Garden for the children, for the children that we loved, 
but never had the chance to know. 

This is a place of remembrance, reflection and prayer especially dedicated to those dear ones who were lost in the earliest stages of their lives. 
They were with us for so short a time and then they were gone.

This is the Garden of the Good Shepherd – 
a place in which hurts are healed and hope is renewed 
as we witness the encounter between the One who brought our children to life 
and the Shepherd God sent to seek them.

 Jesus said, 
"Tell me. Suppose a man has a hundred sheep and one of them strays: will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hillside and goin search of the stray? In truth I tell you, if he finds it, it gives him more joy than do the ninety-nine that did not stray at all. Similarly, it is never the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost.” 
Matthew 18:12-14

May Jesus, the Good Shepherd, bring comfort and peace to the
hearts of all who come to this Garden.
