Psalm 128

You shall eat the fruit of the labour of your hands;
you shall be happy, and it shall go well with you.
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
around your table.


You shall be happy: אַשְׁרֵי or 'esher

Derived from 'asher to go straight, make progress.

I have not chosen a straight path, but it has been interesting.

I have not arrived at my destination, nor am I quite sure what it might be.

There is - despite the twists,turns and uncertainty - a sense of progress.

Psalm 128
