My son's boat coming towards our pontoon boat. The sky is giving a show. Mom loved the sunset at the lake, and the weather, lake, and sky collaborated to create a beautiful setting for the spreading of the ashes ceremony.
This Friday I'm doing excerpts from Psalms. Mother went through her Bible and underlined
uplifting lines, so I will share a few with you today as we finish up the week and head
into the weekend.
When I consider thy heavens, . . .What is man, that thou art mindful of him? . . .
Psalm 8: one line of vs 3 and 2 lines of vs 4.
LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? . . . He that walketh uprightly,
and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. . . I have set the LORD
always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Psalm 15: part of 1, then 2 & 8
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure,
making wise the simple.
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight,
O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
Psalm 19: 1, 7, 14
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. Psalm 23: 1
The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart . . .
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
. . .The LORD of host, he is the King of glory. Se-lah.
Psalm 24: 1, 4, 9, 10
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear ? the LORD is the strength of
my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say,
on the LORD.
Psalm 27: 1, 14
Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
Psalm 31: 24
I'll stop here. The verses were taken from mother's Bible, which is an Authorized King James Version.
Blessings to you all as you begin your weekend.
Those are strong, encouraging scriptures to head into the week-end. And what a beautiful sunset for your day.
