New Life Amid the Old

Outside of Cuero, Texas on State Highway 246 is the small area of Arneckeville, Texas. There is a Lutheran church found by watching for an historical marker sign. Behind the church is an old cemetery with graves of Civil War veterans and many German immigrants who died long before the turn of the 20th century. Amid all of the old darkened gravestones are the gentle wildflowers of spring. I spend about an hour just looking at how the flowers were everywhere adding a sense of peace to this place. The birds were singing, the breeze was very gentle, and I felt like this was one of the best places I saw on this day.
