Hello! Like so many of you – I wear multiple hats, (i.e., wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, etc.). I relish many things – spending time with family and friends; finding humor in the smallest things, eating good food, and relaxing on a swing in the back yard with my hubby. People tell me I laugh a lot – but I have learned through various hardships and victories in life laughter helps – so I laugh wherever I find humor. (Proverbs 17:22). I also love to read the Word of God and listen to various ministries to glean what the Lord reveals to empower, enlighten and encourage.  Understanding the Word of God and searching for and applying the nuggets God provides just makes all of life so much better.  (Proverbs 25:2) I so look forward to laughing, talking, thinking, crying and enjoying life with you on this blog! May God, bless you and keep you…may God’s face shine upon each of you…. (Numbers 6:24 – 26)

23

It’s easy to understand why Psalm 23 was one of my mother’s favorites. It was one of her go to passages during hard-times.  

I totally get it – now. 

In six verses the Psalmist explains how the LORD provides, instructs, leads, refreshes, guides, fortifies, protects, comforts, promotes, empowers, blesses, guards, loves and promises eternity with HIM…

If we could just grab hold of the promises in that one Psalm and BELIEVE…what peace we could have even in the times of trouble…

Psalm 23 (NIV)**

A psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2     He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3     he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
    for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.

AMEN.
