God's Word

I once heard a story about a family gathered around the bed of their dying grandfather. The elderly man began to recite the twenty-third psalm. His family members shed tears as he recalled those precious words: The Lord is my Shepherd..
Later one of the young children asked his mother, "When I memorized that Psalm, you all clapped and smiled, but when grandpa quoted it, you cried. Why?"
"When we are very young, we know the Psalm, but when we are older, we know the Shepherd."

That's a nice story, Karen. And how very special to know the Lord when we are very young too. Your Header picture is so pretty. It is enchanting with the Autumn leaves and the little bridge.

Enjoy these last days of October.

Oh my...that is so profound. Yes...the 23rd Psalm takes on new meaning the older I get,and the closer I get to "The Shepherd". So thankful to have this dear Shepherd leading me today...
