Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
Serve the lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!
For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.
Psalm 100
The season has turned closer to winter as evidenced by the barren trees and the shift of colors in the landscape from bronze and copper to ochre and gray. The pasture outside my window still maintains a hint green and the horses have been frisking about. I think they enjoy the cooler weather as much as I do!
School progresses as well. Our second case study is due tomorrow. I'll be very thankful to turn it in! Amazingly, we only have 3 weeks until winter break! In that three weeks, we have 5 tests and 2 finals, so it will be a busy time.
For Thanksgiving, I am looking forward to Zach's arrival and also several of his friends. It will be a joy to have a bit of bustle in this normally quiet apartment!
Today I prepared the first pots of paperwhite bulbs and put the hyacinth bulbs in their glasses to chill in the refrigerator. They will brighten the dreary days of mid and late winter.
Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving!
