A white bed frame under construction. The words from Psalm 4:8 (In peace I will lie down and sleep: for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety) are overlaid at the top of the image.
My bed in the making! Psalm 4:8 added to author’s photo using PowerPoint

I made my bed and peace with my Maker
I followed all the steps in the manual
assembling head and foot boards together
while contemplating words from the Bible
