For my 100th post,
(I can't believe it!)
I decided to write a psalm.
King David wrote many psalms and poured out
his heart, his pain, his fears and triumphs through them.
His psalms, or lyrical poems and prayers, tell his life story.
He wrote 150 psalms.
I managed one, for now.
It was quite interesting to reflect on my life while writing this.
I think YOU should try it!
Psalm 1- A psalm of Leslie
Before I was even born, my enemy tried to erase me.
He did not want me here and tried to slaughter me.
You protected my soul and body while I was still in the womb.
You Lord, had mercy on me and spared me.
You Lord, had mercy on me and spared me.
I was misled by those whom I respected.
When I chose the wrong paths, you followed me,
Throughout my life, you have been here,
watching my leaving and returning.
yet do not hold it against me, and call me blameless.
Every minute, your love covers my faults.
Every hour, you keep me safe from those who would harm me.
Every day, your light shows me your truth.
Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, just beautiful, sugar! I was reading the Psalms a couple of weeks ago and just marveled at how David loved the Lord so much.

Thanks for being to real. His mercy is new every morning! Lisa!
ReplyDeleteWow, Leslie. I never knew anyone who wrote a psalm. I mean, a living person. That was awesome. Very heartfelt. Great job. Susan
ReplyDeleteCool. I have never tried writing a Psalm , but it is a good idea! It is neat how the Lord directs our paths and how he allows things to shape and mold our lives. He is a great and loving God so full of mercy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful Pslam!! Congrats on your 100th post!
ReplyDeleteThat was lovely. Thank you for sharing it!

ReplyDeleteLeslie,
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I am happy that you are at this place today.
Can you imagine if we didn't have someone who loved us living in our hearts?
Lisa
Very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this. I recently did a Bible study where we wrote out psalms of our own, but rather than general, they were specific to situation.
ReplyDeleteYours is wonderful! Truly, God has been faithful.
I also loved the Little Leslie pictures. They made me smile.
Leslie, that's beautiful. Sounds like this was indeed inspired by the Lord. What a treasure he created in you. Congratulations on your 100th post!
ReplyDeleteLeslie, you never cease to amaze me! Our heavenly Papa agrees as he nods His head and His heart swells with pride..."Oh yes...that's my daughter, Leslie. Isn't she wonderful??"
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!! Congrat's on your 100th post. Thanks for stopping by, here is some info on the cornice :)

I love this Leslie. I have prayed scripture before, but I love how you took parts of the psalms and made them yours. Really, all of scripture is ours isn't it. Congrats on your 100th post (yours is one of my favorite blogs!)
ReplyDeleteI'm so impresssed! What a sweet gift to the Lord.
ReplyDeleteWow! Your Psalm brought tears to my eyes. I suppose we can all relate to the paths we have chosen and been led back! I liked your photo timeline, too. Happy 100!
