With an abundance of wildlife calling HCW home, learning about them is important to their survival. We have many species of turtle/tortoise in and around Honey Creek at Bridge to Grace. A friendly reminder to always stop for those in the middle of the road and if you move, please move in the same direction they were headed. Turtles have an internal GPS and shouldn't be removed from the area found. They always know their way home.

This photo was shared by one of our beloved families. Many are familiar with Dumbo, the deer born and raised in the Meadow. He has since moved on to start life as a young buck and only seen a few times in the past 9-10 months. This new born definitely resembles him! Our wildlife are very important in the work that we do. Preservation, conservation, and green burial are all part of the circle of life. To care for all who are on these sacred grounds is an honor for us.

This rainbow was captured in the Pines.
Genesis 9:12-16
And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”
