Page 4 - A Celebration of the Life of Jenny Hawke v0.1

you let me catch my breath
and send me in the right direction.

Even when the way goes through
Death Valley,
I’m not afraid
when you walk at my side.
Your trusty shepherd’s crook
makes me feel secure.

You serve me a six-course dinner
right in front of my enemies.
You revive my drooping head;
my cup brims with blessing.

Your beauty and love chase after me
every day of my life.
I’m back home in the house of God
for the rest of my life.

Dianne Bateman: Ecclesiastes 3: 10-15 NIV

‘ I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. He has made everything
beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can
fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing

better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of

them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of
God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added

to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him.
Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call
the past to account

Poem: Written and read by Jon Doble

who was in charge of measuring

the journey from way back then to now
and now to who knows when,

the cry came back that time and distance
