GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
7 In Him (Christ) we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace 8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, 9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, 10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him. - Ephesians 1:7-10(New King James Version).

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. - 2 Corinthians 5:20-21(New King James Version).

A QUOTE
For God is, indeed, a wonderful Father who longs to pour out His mercy upon us, and whose majesty is so great that He can transform us from deep within. - Teresa of Avila -

THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER
The smallest good deed is better than the grandest intention. - From Reminisce Magazine -
We are children of God and do not exist solely for ourselves. - From Reflecting God -

NOTES
Today has been a sunny day with a high temperature of 54 degrees and a low temperature of 26 degrees. I had lunch with Charley and Bill. I went by the post office and then home. I took my nap in early afternoon. Little Girl came to my room on her own today to nap with me. I put food and treats outside for the animals at 4:30 p.m. I watched "Trains and Locomotives" from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. Since the last Good Things I have had e-mails from Michelle, Geneva, Michele and Patti. I always appreciate the e-mails.
The cats are fine. Little Girl and Rascal are asleep here in the den in their usual places. Emmy and Leo have been here in the den in the past few minutes. The others are around somewhere.
I hope everyone has a nice Tuesday! I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett.
