Psalm 23:4<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/em><\/strong>Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You\u00a0are\u00a0with me;Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Back when I was in high school (in the dark ages), I read a poem that rattled my cage. I cut it out and carried it around for many years before losing it. I have wished many times that I still had it. I hope you enjoy what I recall. It went something like this:<\/p>\n

When skies are blue and songbirds sing;<\/p>\n

When flowers bloom, their fragrance bring;<\/p>\n

When friends abound and funds abound;<\/p>\n

When health and love are easily found;<\/p>\n

It doesn’t take a lot of sand to shout and sing, to beat the band.<\/p>\n

BUT – – –\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

When things go wrong—as they often do;<\/p>\n

When skies suddenly lose their azure blue;<\/p>\n

When well laid plans fall into a crumpled heap;<\/p>\n

When weary eyes scream out for peaceful sleep;<\/p>\n

THEN – – –<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is the time to take our stand, it’s the time to walk by faith and take God’s hand!<\/p>\n

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!<\/p>\n
