I needed to quiet my mind this morning, so I read and soaked up Psalm 23. My prayer is that you will also find comfort in these sweet words.
The Lord is my shepherd;
I have everything I need.
He lets me rest in green meadows;
He leads me beside peaceful streams.
He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to his name.
Even when I walk
through the dark valley of death,
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me.
You prepare a feast for me
in the presence of my enemies.
You welcome me as a guest,
anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.
Surely your goodness and unfailing
love will pursue me all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of
the Lord forever.

Wow, this post was for me. Thank you, thank you. You do NOT know how I needed to read those words and soak them in myself.
I love you, sweet girl...so grateful for your friendship.

thanks, lisa. good stuff!!!
Lisa, I have to tell you that my dear friend Heather passed the very next morning after you posted this. When I got home, heavy hearted and teary eyed from seeing her Thursday night, I came straight to my computer and came across your post on Psalm 23. I copied it and emailed it to Heather's sister. It gives me chills just thinking about the timing of these words.
In awe of Him,
Jill
