His goodness restores my soul

This is Khobosso, who lives across from me. Last Sunday she ate lunch with me and we tried to talk to each other, me using my limited Rendille and Swahili, she with her limited English. She found this tapestry of Psalm 23 written in Rendille and as she is learning to read and write Rendille at school she was keen to try and read it, sounding each word aloud. And I read it in English. The picture of God as a shepherd, leading his people to pastures and water and guarding from danger is something Rendille pastoralists can identify with particularly well.
