thy paths drop fatness

t
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness;
and thy paths drop fatness.
They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness:
and the little hills rejoice on every side.
The pastures are clothed with flocks;
the valleys also are covered with corn;
they shout for joy, they also sing.
Psalm 65:11
KJV
I once lived in a house where there was an old pear tree just outside my bedroom window.
I would lay there in the night, full moon shining in the window,
listening to ripe pears plopping down onto the grass beneath them.
I think of that old tree when I read these words.
Pears dropping their fatness and singing.

What a lovely memory!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'd love to see the old pear tree at the house you once lived at. Pears used to be my favorite fruit as a child, until it changed to CHERRIES. : ) So glad to have you back blogging. I sure missed your sweet and sincere posts.

Not sure I've ever read this psalm in the KJV but I like that word picture of "dropping fatness" especially after sharing your memory of the ripe pears. Thanks for sharing!
