The 44th day of the Omer

Today is the 44th day of the Omer.  Chad and I went for a seven mile walk today.  It was sunny, but a little breezy, which kept us warm and cool at the same time.  After, I went to the store to buy some sunblock, a small backpack, and some white t-shirts for Chad.  He's been wearing his light gray ones, but they are really starting to wear out.  The white ones I got him were on sale so I bought enough to last him if I don't get to the laundry for a few days.

We've been trying to build up our walking endurance.  I'm surprised how well we are doing.  I don't know if we'll be able to do it, but we are thinking we might keep adding a couple of miles every week, if we are able to.  Walking is such a great exercise and I get to do all the things I love: spend time with Chad talking his ear off, watch the birds, squirrels, ducks, and geese, and lose weight in the process.  Besides, it's free!  As you exercise, remember that you can count the omer while you are working up a sweat!

Psalm 111: 1-10 (KJV)

Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

 The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.

 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.

 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.

 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.

 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
