The Lord is my shepherd

DEVOTIONS:

AND HE TOOK THE CHILDREN IN HIS ARMS, PUT HIS HANDS
ON THEM AND BLESSED THEM.
( MARK 10:16 *NIV )


Indeed, Jesus loves little children for they believe in those they
trust with all their hearts. They have an open mind and are eager
to learn and believe all that they can. Jesus even said that adults
should believe in Him with the same childlike faith. After all Jesus
said: "ASSUREDLY, I SAY TO YOU, WHOEVER DOES NOT
RECEIVE THE KINGDOM OF GOD AS A LITTLE CHILD WILL BY
NO MEANS ENTER IT." ( MARK 10:15 )

For out of the mouths of babe's, sometimes comes true wisdom indeed!

A Shortened Version of 23rd Psalm

In his beautiful book, "I Shall Not Want," Robert Ketchum tells
of a Sunday School teacher who asked her group of children if
anyone could quote the entire 23rd Psalm. A golden-haired, four-
and-a-half-year-old girl was among those who raised their hands.
A bit skeptical, the teacher asked if she could really quote the
entire Psalm. The little girl came to the front of the room, faced the
class, made a perky little bow, and said,
"The Lord is my shepherd, that's all I want."
Cute and so true.....

Valley Township does have green pastures, for sure, and the Lord is my Shepherd! I hope and pray He is yours!
