GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
(Jesus said) 35 "But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked." - Luke 6:35(New International Version).

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
12 Yet to all who did receive him (Jesus), to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. - John 1:12-13(New International Version).

NOTES
Today has been a sunny day in McAlester, Oklahoma, with a high temperature of 48 degrees and a low of 30. I had lunch with Charley and then to the post office to pick up my mail. I went by the cemetery before I came home. I took a nap with Rascal and Emmy. At around 4:30 p.m. I went to Country Mart and Walmart. I came home and put out treats and food for the outside animals. I then made a quick trip to Radioshack for some phone batteries and still made it back home just before dark. Since last time I have had e-mails from Mary Jo, Michele and Claudia. I will share the e-mails from Mary Jo and Michele at the end of the Good Things.
The cats are fine. Little Girl is asleep on the floor in front of the heater. Rascal is asleep in the recliner. I just let Emmy out the front door and Tony from across the street came in for a bite of food. All of the cats have been around this evening.
Have a nice Saturday! I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett. ************************************************************************************************************ Here is Mary Jo's e-mail:
Love, MJ
Glad things are going well for you and Charley. Prayers are said for Mary Ellen's husband. I hope everything keeps going well. Take care.

Good morning Everett!
I am glad your back is better. My hip had been quite painful. It only happens when we get rain. And sure enough we had a down pour that lasted an hour with thunder and lightening. And there was no rain in the forecast.
That was really sweet of Bobbi Taylor to bring you and Charley a meal. Taco Bobs sounds like a real friendly place to eat.
Yesterday I took a trip to Walmart. I bought a DVD movie called The Help. I had read the book and I loved it! And the movie did not disappoint! It will be one of those movies I will watch again and again. I think one of my favorite movies is To Kill A Mockingbird. I will have to find that on DVD. I have seen it on TV many times.
I hope you have a wonderful Friday and I am keeping you and Charley in my prayers. Today is laundry day. I am kind of weird. I love doing laundry.
Take care! Michele
