The 23rd Psalm

Those of you who know me know that I am not a religious person - can't stand organized religion for the most part actually, since I find it divisive rather than uniting. We are all human beings first and all else - ALL ELSE - comes after that. But I digress...

I was reading a selection from 365 Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes and was reminded of the 23rd Psalm, which has always been a comfort and a boon to me. So, I thought I'd share it here today.

Psalm 23

A Psalm of David

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me down the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; they rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Blessed Be and Namaste!

Looking Up - Family

I was blessed to have my son and my grandchildren over for a few hours this evening. The grandson turned 2 in March and the granddaughter is 6 months old. My generation is now the elder generation with the passing of my aunt in February. And the grandbabies are the up and coming generation. Family is a blessing and a port in the storm when you truly need one. We may harangue you and give you our strongly worded opinions, but we do love you and will stand by you when need be. That is what family is for, after all.
