Yesterday was one of the toughest days of my life. After 16 years, our family said goodbye to our precious dog, our teacup Yorkshire Terrier, Belle. I literally held on to the 23rd Psalm, because I walked through the valley of the shadow of death with Belle in her last moments. I was thankful to be there, but even in my deep sorrow and sadness, I knew the Holy Spirit was there, comforting our family.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
