A Song of Ascents. Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways! You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you. Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table.

64 years ago and I did not appreciate the beauty of this psalm. Now, with the wife of my unexpected dreams, three adult and mature children and 6 grandchildren, I am beginning to understand and appreciate the wisdom in these three, somewhat terse sentences. Someday, I will meet the psalmist who wrote this and thank him with a hug and a thank you, brother.
