A Statue of a Little Girl

This sweet little girl statue really caught my eye when I recently visited the cemetery at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Edenton, North Carolina. I love the mossy look, like she's been there for centuries. And... that's such a sweet, angelic face. 

                    Do you ever find real treasures in cemeteries?

    Is that a cemetery? A bit sad, eh?

    Hi, Latane! It is good to be back to blogging again and I am trying to catch up with my friends. I hope you have been well. That is a lovely statue. She seems to have a sad aura around her.

    What a lovely memorial. I do love to visit cemeteries. They are such serene and beautiful places. I was just at the Veteran's cemetery to honor my Dad. x Karen

    Aww, what a sweet gravestone. I'm sure it commemorates an even sweeter child who left many in tears at her passing. I love walking through cemeteries and looking at the old stones to try to find the oldest. I have come across some pretty interesting ones. Herbert Hoover's grandfather Eli's stone is carved into the stump of a tree, and reminds us that like a tree stump with roots holding life deep in the soil sprouts again, so we, with the roots of our souls planted deep in Christ will live again eternally. There's an element of sadness to every cemetery, but also one of hope. One day those bones are going to rise again.

    These aren't found in modern-day cemeteries. It's always a delight to find them.
