“A bright New Year”
Thank you for your visits to Poems From Psalms And Nature.
The Psalms Series 2020 was an encouragement. I have only briefly looked at the 2020 Stats, but my sense is that the Psalms series is helpful.
Good structure for me as well, and I learned more technical skills. As I reprinted verses, I proofread carefully. This led to a focus on writing craft.
Most of all — faith, comfort, hope, empathy, love, gratitude, praise.
One day at a time. Take good care.

Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness:
he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
Psalm 112: 4
God looked down from heaven upon the children of men,
to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
Psalm 53: 2

Be still, and know that I am God . . .
From Psalm 46: 10
There is so much comfort to be found in the Psalms. When I read them all, I begin again. Sometimes I stay with one or two Psalms, and reread.
Perhaps if the Psalms are new for some readers, you recognize some thoughts, and now know the source. You may have seen a greeting card or poster, for example. I remember this too.
The eternal God
is thy refuge,
and underneath
are the everlasting arms
from Deuteronomy 33: 27 (KJV)

my coffee gets cold
guess I made it
for the fragrance
