"The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths for His name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

"You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely Your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."

- Psalm 23

This is for my friends and other Christians helping in the relief effort in Tohoku, who are working to help people there by cleaning, grieving with them, giving them friendship, food, hope, and more. Many things were destroyed and lost in Tohoku, but many treasures remain: People are God's treasures, and He is sending His church to rebuild lives there, to bring together His precious stones (the people of Tohoku) and let them know how loved and valuable they are in His sight.
