Wait on the LORD:
be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen thine heart:
wait, I say, on the LORD.

Remembrance and Hope
For new readers, and all readers, last year we posted short selections from the 150 Psalms, with pictures. The Psalms Series 2020: A Summary offers more information.
The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.
Psalm 23: 1-3
From Psalm 17
Keep me
as the apple of the eye,
hide me
under the shadow of thy wings
Psalm 17: 8

POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
O God, thou art my God;
early will I seek thee . . .
From Psalm 63: 1
hosta and daylilies
hosta and daylilies
goldenrod grows too
I sit in silence
and think about
what needs
to be done now
and what can wait
until Autumn and Winter
Years ago, an older friend said, “You learn to save some things for Winter.”
