God saw the roads had gotten rough and the hills were hard to climb. He gently closed his loving eyes and whispered. "Peace be Thine". The worried hours, the days of pain and the sleepless nights have passed. The wornout frame has found sweet rest at last. Life is a road that winds among the hills of time. With every turn in the road, and old view vanishes, and a new vision appears.
