GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. - Ephesians 6:10-11(New King James Version).

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; Let the sea roar, and all its fullness; 12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice before the Lord. 13 For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with His truth. - Psalm 96:11-13(New King James Version).

A QUOTE
If we are children of God, we have a tremendous treasure in nature and will realize that it is holy and sacred. We will see God reaching out to us in every wind that blows, every sunrise and sunset, every cloud in the sky, every flower that blooms, and every leaf that fades. - Oswald Chambers -

THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER
Christians are to die to the old way of thinking, but then become alive to a new way of living. - From Reflecting God -
Our successes encourage us, but not as much as our failures discourage us. - From Reminisce Magazine -

NOTES
Today has been mostly cloudy with the sun appearing late in the day. High temperature today was 45 degrees with a low temperature of 34 degrees. I attended Worship Services this morning. We had another wonderful service. Just after the morning service I met my brother, Charley, at his church and rode with him about 12 miles west on U.S. Highway 270 to the Arpelar Church of The Nazarene. They were having a Birthday Celebration for our older brother, Abe Christian. Abe is 93 years of age today. We enjoyed a meal and fellowship with relatives and friends. I arrived back home around 2:00 p.m. and was tired so I went to the den and picked up Little Girl and carried her to my bedroom and we lay down for a nap. Little Girl rested in my bedroom until around 7:00 p.m. before coming back to her den. I felt too tired to go to church tonight but I didn't watch any of the Super Bowl game. In fact I don't even remember who was playing and I haven't heard who won. I did watch a Lawrence Welk program from 1966. It was a good program and they played and sang mostly Italian tunes. Since the last Good Things I have had e-mails from Burlene and Alice.
The cats are fine. Little Girl is asleep in front of the heater. Leo and Rascal are also here in the den but they are just nosing around. The rest are around somewhere.
I hope everyone has a nice Monday to start the week! I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett.
