You can reach it through an adjoining backyard, where she pulled up part of a hedge so neighboring children could have their own special gateway.

          <description><![CDATA[
The Bible makes it clear that our loss and grief experiences are important to God. Long before Jesus was born, the prophets predicted him to be &#8220;a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief&#8221; (Isa. 53:3); and, when he came, he taught that those who grieve their losses are on his &#8220;Most Fortunate People&#8221; list (Matt. 5:4). Moreover, he said that God notices the deaths of every lowly sparrow and that knowing this can heighten our confidence in God&#8217;s care of us in our grief. He even counts the hairs on our head (Matt. 10:29-30; Luke 12:6-7).           ]]></description>
