Psalm 23

So I am endeavoring to walk the boys through the 23rd Psalm and the goal is for them to memorize it completely (we are using the ESV.) Tonight at the dinner table we got stuck on vs 1 - as each of the boys repeated the 1st part of verse 1, 'The Lord is My Shepherd' we got into a yelling match over the fact that each one believed that no, the Lord is not Your Shepherd but 'The Lord is MY shepherd!'. Back and forth, back and forth each claiming HIM as HIS shepherd. I tried to explain that the Lord is all of our's shepherds but that didn't go over so well and the next argument started out like this -

'Well give me back My Shepherd!'

'No you give me back My Shepherd!'

I do think that even though they were arguing about it that Jesus Himself could laugh at their antics!

I then started to laugh at them myself...
