Love these words

I came across this song today (one of my faves) during my prayers. The words are just beautiful and good to reflect on even without music.

THE KING OF LOVE MY SHEPHERD IS

The King of love my Shepherd is,
Whose goodness faileth never,
I nothing lack if I am His
And He is mine forever.

Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul He leadeth,
And where the verdant pastures grow,
With food celestial feedeth.

Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,
But yet in love He sought me,
And on His shoulder gently laid,
And home, rejoicing, brought me.

In death’s dark vale I fear no ill
With Thee, dear Lord, beside me;
Thy rod and staff my comfort still,
Thy cross before to guide me.

Thou spread’st a table in my sight;
Thy unction grace bestoweth;
And O what transport of delight
From Thy pure chalice floweth!

And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never;
Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise
Within Thy house forever.

God bless you!

3 Minutes

I have been using an app on my phone for the past year which I think many people could benefit from – it’s called 3 Minute Retreat and it’s awesome.  Each day focuses on a new topic – like “Living in Hope” (today’s topic).  There’s serene music playing in the background and beautiful landscape pictures to admire while reading a bible verse and short reflection.  It then gives you a question to ponder and of course, ends with a prayer.  It’s really beautiful and although it’s run by Catholic Jesuits, I think any Christian denomination would find it moving and beneficial.  One cool feature of the app is that the language can be switched to Spanish.  If you feel like you’re too busy to fit anything else in, please at least try this – It literally takes only three minutes!

If you can’t get the app for whatever reason, click here to log on to their website.  You can do it on your computer at home or at work and apparently on the site you’re not limited to their daily topic.  You can choose from a number of different retreats.  You can also subscribe for daily email reminders to take that break! The site’s tag line is 3 minutes a day can give you 24 hours of peace! What do you have to lose?  Just do it!
