Psalm 23

Last night I happened upon Psalm 23 and was astounded by the beauty of the first part:

"The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul."

It reminded me to enjoy these green pastures and quiet waters while I have them, because surely things will not always be this sunny (valleys and shadows and death and all).  I sometimes complain about my condition, but I really have no cause to fret when I truly focus on how great things are.  Things are not perfect, but I am content.  I don't make a lot of money but I have what I need.
