The 9th Day of the Omer

Today is the 9th day of the Omer.  The weather was really nice; a little cloudy but very warm.  Chad and I are thinking about visiting the Springfield Zoo sometime this week, before it gets too hot.  Missouri is not in a drought status now so I'm guessing that spring will be the best time to go, before it does get hotter, which I'm told is around August.  We are also thinking about visiting the Meramac caverns and taking the tour.  We definitely want to get out and see the sights this year.

I knitted three scarves for friends down in Texas and today they sent me an e-mail picture of themselves wearing the scarves.  They looked so adorable!  What a wonderful keepsake picture for me.  I think I've looked at it four of five times today!  Keep having fun counting the omer!

 Psalm 119:65-72 (KJV)

Teth.

Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Lord, according unto thy word.

Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.

 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.

 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.

 The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.

Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.

 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.

The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
