.

      I read this the other night and I couldn't help think of how thankful I am for the 

life I have here, the life to come, and the friend that has been with me and will continue 

to be with me each step of the way.

                                       The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;

                                          you hold my lot.

                                       The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;

                                          indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

                                       I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;

                                         in the night also my heart instructs me;

                                      I have set the Lord always before me;

                                         because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.

                                      Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices;

                                         my flesh also dwells secure.

                                      For you will not abandon my soul,

                                         or let your holy one see corruption.

                                      You make known to me the path of life;

                                        in your presence there is fullness of joy;

                                        at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

                                                                                                                 Psalm 16:5-11
