Good Things

GOOD THINGS Wednesday, January 18, 2012 GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. - Philippians 4:13(New King James Version). GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD 1 Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, Who delights greatly in His commandments. - Psalm 112:1(New King James Version). A QUOTE The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched...but are felt in the heart. - Helen Keller - THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER Those who bring sunshine to others cannot keep it from themselves. - From Reminisce Magazine - If you fall seven times, stand up eight. - From Reminisce Maazine - NOTES Today has been mostly sunny with a high temperature of 47 degrees and a low temperature this morning of 20 degrees. I had lunch with Charley and Bill. I went by Family Dollar store and bought liquid Tide laundry detergent. The price was $5.00 for a 40 oz. container(24 loads). I had a $2.00 coupon so the cost to me was $3.00 plus sales tax. You can't beat that price at Walmart or your local grocery store. I went by the post office. I went to Walgreens to pick up a couple of prescriptions. I took my nap this afternoon with Emmy. I listened to tunes this afternoon from 1944. I could tell you a lot about the year of 1944 but I had better get on with the Good Things. I put food and treats out for the cats this evening. At 6:00 p.m. I watched a Billy Graham crusade from from Ft. Lauderville, Florida in 1985. Today is another anniversary for me. It wa 66 years ago tonight that I had my first date with my Flonnie. I had gotten home from the Army on January 16, 1946 and this was two days later. My cousin, Audie (who receives this e-mail), will remember because she and her older brother, George, took me to get Flonnie. We went to a high school basketball game at Atwood, Oklahoma. That school is now closed. George drove since I didn't yet have my drivers liscense and Audie was a dear friend of Flonnie. I will admit to you that I shed a few tears this afternoon before I went to sleep. Since the last Good Things I have received e-mails from Alice and Geneva. I will share Geneva's letter at the end of the Good Things. The cats are fine. Little Girl and Rascal in their usual place here in the den. I have seen all the others this evening. I hope everyone has a nice Thursday! I will see you next time. In Christian Love, Everett. ********************************************************************************************************************************************* Here is Geneva's letter:<
