I went to a beautiful morning get-together on the grounds of Pittock Mansion to honor our beloved friend Laurence on the second anniversary of his passing.
We sat in the sunshine and talked about our memories of his life, both personal and professional. Just before we left, we shared a prayer and the reading of one of Laurence's favorites:
Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,
Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
(Psalm 103:1-5)
