 2.15-

Today as I drove home from a shopping trip I saw a large, round sheep. I have been told that a sheep that lays down on a hill and accidently rolls on its back can die within a short time. It can't get itself up and the gases build up its stomach and death comes.
Those who think of themselves and not needing any help in life have not admitted the truth or gotten far enough along in life to know how important help can be. I was in a class a couple of weeks ago when some ladies in their plus seventies had a blowout on the road. They said a wonderful, Godly man demanded that they let him change the flat. They went to a tire store and had a replacement and were back on the road in an hour. They considered this a special deliverance from God their shepherd.
The Lord is my shepherd is a favorite song of many Jews and Christians. It reminds us of the joy of having Jesus as the good shepherd over us. He leads us to still waters and green pastures and guards us so that we not in danger. He provides good food before us even in the presence of our enemies.
Teachng lessons about the goodness of God and people are all around us.

Psalm 23.

Psalm 23.

A Psalm of David.

23 The Lord is my shepherd,
I will not be in need.
2 He lets me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside [a]quiet waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He guides me in the [b]paths of righteousness
For the sake of His name.

4 Even though I walk through the [c]valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no [d]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 [e]have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
6 [f]Certainly goodness and [g]faithfulness will follow me all the days of my life,
And my dwelling will be in the house of the Lord [h]forever.

9.4- Broken eggs.

9.4- Broken eggs. I had been warned Don't try to carry too much in from the grocery store at once. Learn the hard way or the easy way. Why does the only thing that falls off is the most fragile? The carton was crushed. Several eggs were broken. I have learned to keep looking when a little frustration comes to stay alert. Some good can come out of something bad. Getting laid off from the wrong job can lead to the right job. Getting bumped from the wrong flight to get the right flight, five minutes later plus a free flight. Now I watch for the turn and learn from frustrating little things. Broken eggs. Scrambled eggs. Romans 12 14  Bless those who persecute  [ q ] you; bless and do not curse.   15  Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.   16  Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be  [ r ] haughty in mind, but  [ s ] associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.   17  Never repay evil for evil to anyone.  [ t ] Respect what is right

9.2- There was this grasshopper who appeared to be very old and very wounded.

 9.2- There was this grasshopper who appeared to be very old and very wounded. He drug himself along. Where he was amazed me. On the ground level at the gas station near Gordon Texas was dirt and oil and the danger of feet and tires. As I pumped 39.30 worth of fuel I wondered how did he get out of the dirt and danger to the safety of the top of the gas pump? As I get older I sometimes feel I am dragging along like a grasshopper. My spirit is fueled by seeing how my life includes my maker providing safety for me by the help of family, friends and strangers. Two such are my nephew, Lynn And Sheri Luttrell. He is a prof. at ACU and she the owner and leader of stepping Stones school. Got to spent two days of fun, 42 and homemade ice cream last week. Ecclesiastes 12. 12  Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years approach when you will say, “I have no pleasure in them”;   2  before the sun and the light, the moon and the stars are darkened

 9.3- I have been given a bed to go to sleep in where a window is high and laying on my back I can see the moon at times. Flat of my back I can choose to think of the maker of the moon. A space craft from India landed there yesterday near the south pole of the moon where they think there may be water. Once the greatest human who ever lived faced his hardest days. He spoke words of steady trust and submission to his loving heavenly Father, maker of heaven and earth. "If possible may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." Matthew 26. 39  And He went a little beyond  them , and fell on His face and prayed, saying,  “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You  will .”   40  And He *came to the disciples and *found them sleeping, and He *said to Peter,  “So, you  men  could not keep watch with Me for one hour?   41  Keep watching and praying, so that you do not come into temptation; the spirit is  [ p ] willing,
