for as long
as I can remember
verses from the Psalms
memories
Blessed
Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
From Psalm 2: 12 (KJV)
trees
the green that goes
the green that stays
evergreens
trees with leaves
and Fall colors
and then their
shapes and sky
trees with holiday
lights in Winter
and trees
with blossoms
and new leaves
in Spring
From Psalm 1:
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Psalm 1: 3

lovingkindness
Yesterday, as I was reading The Psalms, I especially noted the word lovingkindness. This morning I looked up a few examples of verses.
How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God!
therefore the children of men put their trust
under the shadow of thy wings.
Psalm 36: 7 (KJV)
Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord:
let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
Psalm 40: 11 (KJV)
Yet the Lord will command
his lovingkindness in the daytime,
and in the night his song shall be with me,
and my prayer unto the God of my life.
Psalm 42: 8 (KJV)
