The Shepherd Watches

Every night I read to Lucas from his Bedtime Prayers book.

The Scripture verse:

The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.

Psalm 121:8 (NLT)

The Poem:

I come and I go.

I'm fast and I'm slow.

But I'm never, ever along.

I run and I play.

I sit and I stay.

But I'm never, ever alone.

I jump up and down.

I spin all around.

But I'm never, ever alone.

My Shepherd is there-

He's everywhere,

And that can be written in stone.

The Prayer:

Dear God, that you for watching over me wherever I go.

This reminded me that The LORD watches over Lucas while he asleep.
