Sing God a brand-new song!
Earth and everyone in it, sing!
Sing to God—worship God!
Shout the news of his victory from sea to sea,
Take the news of his glory to the lost,
News of his wonders to one and all!
For God is great, and worth a thousand Hallelujahs.
His terrible beauty makes the gods look cheap;
Pagan gods are mere tatters and rags.
God made the heavens—
Royal splendor radiates from him,
A powerful beauty sets him apart.
Bravo, God, Bravo!
Everyone join in the great shout: Encore!
In awe before the beauty,
In awe before the might.
Bring gifts and celebrate,
Bow before the beauty of God,
Then to your knees—everyone worship!
Get out the message—God Rules!
He put the world on a firm foundation;
He treats everyone fair and square.
Let's hear it from Sky,
With Earth joining in,
And a huge round of applause from Sea.
Let Wilderness turn cartwheels,
Animals, come dance,
Put every tree of the forest in the choir—
An extravaganza before God as he comes,
As he comes to set everything right on earth,
Set everything right, treat everyone fair. (Ps.96)
Glory to God in the Church! Glory to God in the Messiah, in Jesus! Glory Down All the Generations! Glory through All Millennia! Oh, Yes! (Eph.3:21)
Thank you for your prayers!
Everything is so difficult with my hands this way. I worry about getting out in public places with the blisters open to infection - and I have to go take care of business tomorrow, probably without a ride from my former neighbor.
I'm trying to plan a way to ride the bus, God willing that I can breathe well enough to walk where I need to, by wrapping my hands with gauze and then putting winter gloves over them. I can't put the gloves directly on, too scratchy. I had to wait until a cold day and we don't have many.
If I can do that, I'll probably then get a taxi to the bank the next day. I haven't been able to afford taxis, but I guess I'll have to since my ride is balking.
So many minor problems become complicated in my present life. At least I figured out a way to make snickerdoodles - pre-made cookie dough, something new to me, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar - baking just a few at a time and putting remainder of dough in freezer. Did it all with one unwrapped hand!
