In Fifty Days


Yesterday was passover. After passover, there are seven weeks or 49 days, called the "counting of the omer" and then comes Pentecost or Shavuot. This was the time that the gift of the Holy Spirit was first given to the apostles. I am excited at the thought that God will give gifts to His children at Pentecost.

Today, as I count the omer, I am grateful for His eternal mercies and His bounty. Thank You Father for Your generous gift!
