Pictures are such a big part of our lives, aren’t they? In the last couple of years, I have enjoyed taking pictures, and then pairing them with a saying or verse. I call them “Sunrays” because they shine a little truth into my life. For example, this photo of a lava tunnel (basically, a big hole in a rock) I took in Maui, Hawaii, always speaks to me of how powerful God is. He really can make a way where there is no way.Over the next few weeks, I am planning to post pictures of various scenes (primarily in nature) illustrating phrases from Psalm 23. Would you be willing to help?

An Invitation: Share your photos of Psalm 23 with us!

• Take some time to think about Psalm 23 (see below), maybe while spending time out in nature, and/or scrolling through old pictures.
• Pick out one or more favorite photos that speak to you in some way about these wonderful words.
• And then forward them to me via email, or simply post them on the Belovedlove Facebook page. (If you have time, include a few words about your photo, such as why you chose it, or where you took it.)

I look forward to hearing from you, and seeing a little of your world. And then passing that blessing along to many others.

Thank you! You are such a blessing to me!

“I thank God in all of my remembrance of you.”

Psalm 23

“The LORD is my shepherd,
 I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
 He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul;
 He guides me in the paths of righteousness
 for His name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
 I fear no evil, for You are with me;
 Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil;
 my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
 and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.”
