40 people attend annual memory garden service
Approximately 40 people attended
the 13th annual Blyth Greenway
Memory Garden Service on Sunday,
Sept 20. It was a beautiful summer
day with Pastor Ernest Dow of
Living Water Christian Fellowship
Church officiating.
With audience participation, a
hymn “All the Way My Saviour
Leads Me” was sung. Psalm 119 was
read, and Pastor Dow’s message was
“Set Free from Sorrow.” It was a
very enlightening message which
incorporated all the aspects of the
Memory Garden. The hymn “Surely
Goodness and Mercy” ended the
spiritual aspect of the service.
Bev Elliott thanked Nellie Mason
for all the work that she has done
this year, as well as Connie Nesbitt,
Brenda and Jim Kitching for their
contribution to the maintenance of
their area and the North Huron
employees for cutting the grass, and
other jobs they do.
There is a new addition to the
garden in the form of a beautiful
eight-foot angel statue. With the
kind donations and purchasing of
memorial leaves and benches over
the past 13 years, organizers have
been able to save some money to
purchase the amazing angel, adding
a very large focal point to the
Garden.
A third “Tree of Life” has been
placed in the kiosk. Bev read the
names which had been added since
September, 2014, saying it is people
like them that make the garden a
wonderful addition to the
community.
“One generation plants a tree or
flower, so the next generation can
enjoy the shade and beauty.” A tree
and perennial program like this is
important to the community and
reminds us that harmony with the
land is like harmony with a friend.
Planting trees and perennials is a
permanent way to recognize a loved
one and at the same time give back
to the earth.
Refreshments and fellowship
followed the service.

The mariner’s chart as he sails the sea of life!
(Arthur Pink,)
The Bible is a book which calls not so much for the exertion of our intellect — as
it does for the exercise of our affections, conscience and will. God has given His
Word to us not for our entertainment, but for our eduction — to make known what
He requires from us. It is to be...the traveler’s guide as he journeys through the
maze of this world, and the mariner’s chart as he sails the sea of life.
Therefore, whenever we open the Bible, the all-important consideration for each
of us to keep before him is: “What is here for me today?” What bearing does the
passage now before me have upon my present case and circumstances — what
warning, what encouragement, what information? What instruction is there...to
direct me in the management of my business, to guide me in the ordering of my
domestic and social affairs, to promote a closer walking with God?”
I should see myself addressed in every precept — and included in every promise.
But it is greatly to be feared that, through failure to appropriate God’s Word unto
our own case and circumstances — there is much Bible reading and study which
is of little or no real benefit to the soul.
Just so long as the Word is... actually working in us, influencing us in a practical
way, loved and revered by us, and stirs the conscience — are we kept from falling
into open sin!
And only as we personally go out and daily gather our portion of manna, and feed
upon the same — will there be strength provided for the performing of duty and
the bringing forth of fruit to the glory of God.
