Touring a Historic Cemetery

Today I'm sharing beautifully engraved stone elements from a historical cemetery in my hometown. I'm always drawn to old cemeteries and find them to be peaceful. They reveal so much about the people who settled and lived in a particular area and I enjoy reading the old markers and seeing the beauty of the memorials created in honor of someone's loved one. 

I'm always impressed at the craftsmanship and skill that it took to create the headstones. They stand as a reminder to each of us that our lives on Earth will not continue forever, but they do continue. Death is not an ending, but the beginning of forever and we get to choose where we spend eternity. 

I hope you enjoy this quick tour of Leesburg Cemetery in Leesburg, TX, established in 1870.

 

Such beautiful detail brought to life by a dusting of green moss...what a great patina.

 

Here's a Heart Rock for your Pocket:
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

Wishing you God's best,
