Yesterday I stumbled on a blog that was titled ’17 Cheshvan’, and I thought, “Wow… that’s a milestone!” And then thought, “Why on EARTH would I think that’s a milestone??” and promptly dismissed my strangeness. Cuz… I’m strange, often. Then later at night while cooking supper, I looked up at the Omer calendar, and thought, “It looks like we’re a third of the way thru”. So I got out the calculator, checked the math, and yesterday WAS a milestone! Whaddya know! It was the one-third mark of the Omer count! I wonder why He made a note of it in my mind, earlier in the day, though… doesn’t that seem strange, and kind of out of the blue? The post wasn’t even ABOUT that – it was about keeping the Omer even if you’re starting late. So the thoughts about it being a milestone were totally out of nowhere. I also thought about how Israel only endured the first third of the plagues… but that’s unrelated. Isn’t it?
