GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. 18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. - Psalm 34:17-18(New International Version).

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
(Jesus said) 20 "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me." - Revelation 3:20(New King James Version).

NOTES
Today has been a sunny day in McAlester, Oklahoma, with a high temperature of 65 degrees and a low temperature of 41 degrees. I had lunch with Charley and then to the post office. I took a nap with Emmy. At around 3:00 p.m. I made a trip to the Petsense store and Walmart. At 4:45 p.m. I sat outside with the cats for 30 minutes. There were still a few birds flying south but not near as many as yesterday evening. There were some very big birds way up high leaving a vapor trail. I had my binoculars and could see them much better than with the naked eye. If you haven't told me already be sure to tell me by tomorrow night if you want to continue with the Good Things in the new year.
The cats are fine. Little Girl and Rascal in their usual places. Emmy was here a little while ago and told me she wanted out the front door so I let her out. When I got up this morning and checked the back porch, there was Lucy the stray. She came inside for a few minutes and ate some canned cat food and then went back outside. She was also with us when we sat outside this evening but left before I came inside. Siamese Tom was also hanging around as I sat outside.
Have a nice Saturday! I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett.
