The
Psalms
Our "Welcome!" mat is out. Put on your comfy slippers, brew a cup of coffee, cocoa or your favorite tea, and sit a spell. We won't remain strangers long as we share our lives and become friends. It is our heart's desire that4Him2U will feed and water your soul in your daily walk.
This summer the Sonrise Writers & I visited Psalms, one of our favorite books in the Bible. The result of our visit & contemplation is shared this month for you. There are reflections on a particular Psalm, poems in the style of the songs found in the Psalms & a commentary: Psalm 101: What You Never Knew about the Middle of the Book. I am touched with the variety of ways each of see Scripture, how it affects us & how we express that emotion or lesson learned.
Do take the time to scroll down on each page so you won't miss the nuggets of wisdom and words of encouragement.
BTW, next month we are exploring scripture that is difficult to understand and how it relates to us today. Do you have a specific passage or verse that you've been wondering about? If so, e-mail it to me at constancegilbert@gmail.com and yours may be chosen for the September issue!
