Things

I have no beautiful pictures to post of food, crochet, or flowers but felt the need to write. Life has had many challenges over the last several months and now this morning I found out about the passing of a friend from my past. My husband has been out of work, we had to lay off our one employee/friend that has worked for us for 12 years. My mom has been sick, a friend found out she has breast cancer, one of my best friend's husband had a heart attack this past weekend, my special needs daughter is fighting me more and my oldest is going back to college soon. This is what the Lord brought to mind this morning.

Psalm 121

A song of ascents.

 ¹ I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
   where does my help come from?
² My help comes from the LORD,
   the Maker of heaven and earth.

 ³ He will not let your foot slip—
   he who watches over you will not slumber;
⁴ indeed, he who watches over Israel
   will neither slumber nor sleep.

 ⁵ The LORD watches over you—
   the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
⁶ the sun will not harm you by day,
   nor the moon by night.

 ⁷ The LORD will keep you from all harm—
   he will watch over your life;
⁸ the LORD will watch over your coming and going
   both now and forevermore.
