BLESS (AFFECTIONATELY, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul!
O Lord my God, You are very Great!
You are clothed with honor and majesty--
Who covers Yourself with light as with a garment,
Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain or a tent,
Who lays the beams of the upper room of His abode in the waters,
Who makes the clouds His chariot,
Who walks on the wings of the wind,
He waters the mountains from His upper rooms;
the earth is satisfied and abounds with the fruit of His works.
He causes vegetation to grow for the cattle,
and all that the earth produces for man to cultivate,
that he may bring forthe food out of the earth--
And wine that gladdens the heart of man,
to make his face shine more than oil,
and bread to support, refresh, and strengthen man's heart.
[The Lord] appointed the moon for the seasons;
the sun knows [the exact time of] its setting.
O Lord, how many and varied are Your works!
In wisdom have You made them all;
the earth is full of Your riches and Your creatures.
May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
may the Lord rejoice in His works--
May my meditation be sweet to Him;
as for me,
I will rejoice in the Lord.
Psalm 104: 1-3, 13-15, 19, 24, 31
It has been a frantically busy week.
I have not been able to read or reply much
due to the wrap-up of school.
Finals are this Tuesday and Wednesday
with make-ups on Thursday.
Friday is the teachers' last day.
I got through this week fine
and am looking forward to next Friday.
Hope you are enjoying your Memorial Day weekend!
I'm headed out to the lake and a cook-out with Mike,
and my son and our grandkids.
Blessings to you all!
