Today is the 32nd day of the Omer. Chad and I went for a walk today at the Botanical Gardens in Springfield. It was absolutely lovely, to see some of the flowers that were just beginning to come up. There was a lake with ducks and geese too! Next time, we'll have to take some bread so we can feed them. The park offers lots of additional trails too. There are two four mile trails you can take, which then ends up being eight miles because you have to turn around and come back. Since it was such a nice day, Chad and I walked for about three miles. Since I didn't wear shorts, I was getting a little hot and wanted to turn around. The trails are in good condition. They are paved and flat; not a lot of hills or inclines like the conservatory. It's really a nice place to go for a leisurely walk. Remember, don't forget to count the omer while you're feeding the neighborhood ducks and geese!
Psalm 78: 32-39 (KJV)
For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.
And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
But
he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed
them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up
all his wrath.
For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
