Psalm 23

A psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.

4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, [a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.

Irene’s birthday is Sunday, August 16.  She rejoices in the Gift of Life, continually worships God, and loves this song by Russ Taff.

Song Lyrics:

When you’re up against a struggle that shatters all your dreams
And your hopes have been cruelly crushed by Satan’s manifested schemes
And you feel the urge within you to submit to earthly fears
Don’t let the faith you’re standing in seem to disappear
(Chorus)
Praise the Lord—He will work for those who praise Him
Praise the Lord—for our God inhabits praise
Praise the Lord—for those chains that seem to bind you
Serve only to remind you
That they dropped powerless behind you
When you praise Him
Now Satan is a liar and he wants to make us think
That we are paupers, but he knows himself we’re children of the King
So lift up the mighty shield of faith, for the battle must be won
We know that Jesus Christ is risen so the work’s already done
(Chorus)
…for those chains that seem to bind you
Serve only to remind you
That they dropped powerless behind you
When you praise Him, praise Him
Praise Him, when you praise Him
When you praise Him
When you praise
The Lord

Happy Birthday, Irene …!!!!

Although ever present, Irene’s nausea has remained at a low roar the last several days.

Thanks for caring,
