This is my response to Sadje’s
What Do You See #261 prompt.

Take
my hand
and guide me
through calm waters
or raging rapids
for you alone I trust
to keep me safe from danger
and protect me from all evil;
you are my bridge over troubled seas.
Take my hand and guide me through calm waters

Thank you, Michele. I like to say ‘everything I need to know I learned in Sunday School’. That is especially true of the beautiful 23rd Psalm.
As always, I appreciate your warm and gracious comments. 🙏🏼

You’re very welcome, Nancy. Love how you pull many elements together into one creative share. So true what you say about learning all you needed in Sunday school. I did not attend, except for a few random visits, however I did teach it later in life. 😊

Sunday School offered a happy, safe environment with a comforting message week after week. It was a natural progression for me to teach when I reached adulthood, as you did. Perhaps it’s time for people to take a step back to a simpler, kinder and gentler period. I don’t think that would be such a bad thing. 😊
