SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Psalm 23

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want" - the crowd would listen attentively. And then, at the conclusion of the Psalm, they would rise in thunderous applause in appreciation of the actor's incredible ability to bring the verse to life.

But one night, just before the actor was to offer his customary recital of Psalm 23, a young man from the audience spoke up. "Sir, do you mind if tonight I recite Psalm 23?"

The actor was quite taken back by this unusual request, but he allowed the young man to come forward and stand front and center on the stage to recite the Psalm, knowing that the ability of this unskilled youth would be no match for his own talent.

With a soft voice, the young man began to recite the words of the Psalm. When he was finished, there was no applause. There was no standing ovation as on other nights. All that could be heard was the sound of weeping. The audience had been so moved by the young man's recitation that every eye was full of tears.

Amazed by what he had heard, the actor said to the youth, "I don't understand. I have been performing Psalm 23 for years. I have a lifetime of experience and training - but I have never been able to move an audience as you have tonight. Tell me, what is your secret?"

The young man humbly replied, "Well sir, you know the Psalm, but I know the Shepherd."

Howdy, LUV!

It has been hard to post and I pretty much gave up. Just thought I’d give it another try for the heck of it.

Hope you’re having a grand time, like you wouldn’t. LOL!

Guess what? It’s COOL here too!!! High of only 79 degrees today! Haven’t had such a cool day in ages and it was a joy. It’s right chilly outside tonight.

We’ll be expecting a pic or two while you’re up there, especially if you get to go to Yellowstone. :-)

Good evening, radu...a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Any rain find you and the corn?

I’m going to have to water tomorrow.

Good morning, Mayor, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Hope you got some time to relax on Saturday.

A very pleasant good Sunday morning to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

((HUGS))Good morning, LUV W. How's it going?

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy!

I got back in!

Hope your day’s gone well.

Yes, we got 2 inches of rain yesterday and the corn was more than ready for it.

What’s even better are the cool temps we’re enjoying after the front moved through last night. Short-lived, of course, but we’ll enjoy them while they’re here. LOL
