Thankful Thursday 4/7/2011

"The Lord is my Shepherd, I lack nothing.

He makes me lie down in green pastures,

he leads me beside quiet waters, 

he refreshes my soul. 

He guides me along the right paths 

for his name's sake.

Even though I walk 

through the darkest valley,

I will fear no evil,

for you are with me;

Your rod and your staff

they comfort me." 

Psalm 23:1-4
