Pleasant Places

This weeks meditations in the Psalms took me to Psalm 16 where we read in verse 6, "The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance." I grew up in rural Saskatchewan and it was there that my parents taught me many valuable lessons. It was one Sunday evening my mother explained to me about being a Christian. We were poor but the Lord had drawn the boundary lines for us and that place was the place the Lord had known that I would learn about Him. Since then we have moved a few times. I lived in Thunder Bay, Waterloo, Manila and Chatham. Those too were pleasant places. Thunder Bay was where I worked, got married, raised our five children. Waterloo was where I was educated. Manila was where we served as missionaries for one year and Chatham is where I have retired and continue to serve my Lord. Yes these are pleasant places that the Lord has given me for a delightful inheritance.
