One of my favorite scriptures is Psalm 23, The Lord is My Shepherd. The first summer after my husband, Paul, died, I was trying to carry on all the yard work at our Salter Path home. We had an old, old riding mower, which worked well, but threw belts easily when a small stick was in its pathway. Well, the belt came off and I had just started to mow. What to do!?! I kneeled down and looked under it and found the belt and how it was supposed to go, but for the life of me I could not get it back on the track. I worked and worked and worked, becoming more frustrated all the time. Finally, after more than an hour of trying, and while still on my knees, I simply cried out to God, "Lord, I can't do this and I have to mow this grass. You have to help me put this belt back on. And He did! To my knowledge, I did not have the belt come off again. The Lord is not only My Shepherd, but He is the Master Lawn Mower Mechanic!
