The 23rd Psalm I associated with death because I heard it recited mostly at funerals This beautiful Psalm is really for the living. It is all about us, here and now. Read it again with fresh eyes.
"The Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not want.
"He makes me lie down in green pastures
He leads me by still waters,
He restores my soul.
"He guides me down the path of righteousness
for His name's sake
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil for you are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
"Your prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies
You anoint my head with oil: my cup runs over
"Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever," (NIV)

Key to Daily Living
April 3,2013
Every act begins with a thought. What do we do with the thoughts that feed doubt, worry.selfishness,
temptation. hate, violence and all other evils that plague mankind?
The Bible gives us seven words to help us through a day, each hour, every minute.
"take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." (2 Corinthians 10:4)
Try it. You'll see it works.

A Love story
March 24
She asked God to help her find a loving way to tell her husband how hurt she was when he described how they met as "no big deal."
The next day, while shopping, she saw God's answer. That night she said,"Sweetheart
the next time you describe how we met could you add a little color." She held up a small box of new crayons. At the next opportunity the husband described how they met using figuratively a large box of crayons.
""And now abide faith, hope and love, these three, but the greatest is love."
(Corinthians 13:13)

Healing a broken heart
March 20
"The staff at the Soldier's Home gave dad a warm welcome," she said over the phone reporting how the relocation went. "There is a sweet gentleman across the hall. He and dad are already buddies. You won't believe his name, Its Stewart Kindness."
I could hear the joy in her voice over the phone. You would never know that this man had walked out of her life when she was barely a teen.Now she is the one showing love. She is proof that God will heal a willing heart.
"I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me." (Philippians 1:21)

Fear of Flying
March 16
Joy began talking to the lady seated next to her duing the flight to take her mind off flying. As she talked Joy noticed the seat was rocking back and forth. She asked the lady; "Why is your seat moving. I don't think playing with your seat is a good idea in this turbulence."
The lady smiled and said; "Maybe if you weren't gripping my arm rest and the seat button so tightly it wouldn't be moving."
"Give all your worries to God for He cares what happens to you." (1Peter 5:7 NLT)
