God be with you or as the Irish would say Dia Duit!! From the lush&nbsp;meadows of its countryside to the cobblestone streets of its cities,&nbsp;there is something to delight the senses everywhere we turn in Ireland.&nbsp;So journey with us to Emerald Crossing: An Irish Adventure Through Psalm&nbsp;23.&nbsp;Every stop along our path will teach us about the Good Shepherd and how&nbsp;he cares for his sheep. Like David discovered throughout his life, first&nbsp;as a shepherd and later as a king, we'll discover important truths such&nbsp;as:








*I can be a child of God and have the Lord as my shepherd.
*I need the Lord to lead me on the right path through His Word.
*I can turn to the Lord for comfort when I'm feeling anxious or afraid.
*I can have an attitude of gratitude in every situation.
*I need to be on the lookout for God's goodness and mercy, my traveling&nbsp;companions through life.

Beauty and adventure await - so grab your work boots and your walking&nbsp;staff and get ready for a grand ol' time at Emerald Crossing!
