This morning’s prayer from the Daily Office lectionary accompanied me from morning walk around the lake to late afternoon hike in the hills. Psalm 16: 6 My boundaries enclose a pleasant land; * indeed, I have a goodly heritage. 7 I will bless the Lord who gives me counsel; * my heart teaches me, night after night. 8 I have set the Lord always before me; * because he is at my right hand I shall not fall. 9 My heart, therefore, is glad, and my spirit rejoices; * my body also shall rest in hope. 10 For you will not abandon me to the grave, * nor let your holy one see the Pit. 11 You will show me the path of life; * in your presence there is fullness of joy, and in your right hand are pleasures for evermore. #psalm16 #goodlyheritage #thedaythelordhasmade #cloudofwitnessesOh hi there, moon.
