In the quiet and caring town of Angelville, there was a lively little girl named Lily. She cherished the times she spent with her Grandma, who lived in a charming house adorned with a garden full of vibrant flowers.
But then, one cloudy day, Lily's world changed. Her parents, their eyes filled with sadness, told her,
"Sweetheart, Grandma has died. This means we won't see her again." Lily, young as she was, understood the gravity of their words.
Preparations were made to bid Grandma a heartfelt goodbye. The house filled with people dressed in black, all sharing their sorrow. A funeral was held, a Christian tradition to bid farewell, and Grandma's body was placed in a casket.
At the church, prayers were said, and hymns were sung. The pastor offered comforting words, reminding them that.....
"death was not the end, but a new beginning in heaven."
In the days that followed, Lily felt a profound sadness. She missed Grandma's stories, her comforting hugs, and her infectious laughter.
It was okay for Lily to feel this way,
and her friends at school tried to comfort her with hugs and kind words.
One peaceful evening, Lily's parents shared the story of Adam and Eve. They explained how their disobedience in the Garden of Eden led to sickness and death entering the world.
"Does this mean Grandma is with Jesus now?" Lily asked.
"But remember Lily," her mother said, "Jesus came to us. He died and was resurrected, overcoming death. Because of this, we have the promise of eternal life."
"Yes, darling," they replied. "She is in a place of peace and joy, and one day, we will see her again."
As the days turned into weeks, Lily began to feel a bit better.
Remembering Grandma was a mix of happiness and sorrow. But with each passing day, the happy memories started shining brighter.
Lily decided to plant a garden just like Grandma's, to keep her spirit alive.
Every bloom reminded her of Grandma's love.
Even though Grandma was no longer with them, her legacy lived on in Lily's heart and in the beauty of the garden.
