Good Things

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. - James 4:7(New International Version).

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people! 9 If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a cripple and are asked how he was healed, 10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. 11 He (Jesus) is “‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone. 12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” - Acts 4:8-12(New International Version).

NOTES
Today has been partly cloudy with a high temperature of 81 degrees and a low temperature of 66 degrees. I called the vets office at around 9:30 a.m. She said that Little Girl was still improving but still has a way to go. She will have to stay over the weekend. I made an appointment to go see her at 2:00 p.m. I had a leak in my bathroom so I then called a plumber who said they would be out later in the day. I had lunch with Charley, Bill, Pastor J.T. and his wife, Dianne. The plumbers came at 1:00 p.m. and were through by 1:45 p.m. so I went immediately to the vet hospital. I held Little Girl in my lap for 10 minutes or so. She was sleeping most of the time but would rouse up occasionally and I would talk to her. The vet office will be closed Saturday and Sunday. Dr. Sewell said she would call me both days to tell me how Little Girl is doing. It may sound strange to some people that I need to know about Little Girl every day but if you live alone and have pets you will understand how much they mean to a person. Little Girl will eat when they put food in her mouth. I told them that she also drank a lot of water. Since the last Good Things I have heard from my cousin Gina, Burlene, Michelle, Debra, my vet grandson Bryant, my cousin Audie, Alice, my great niece Claudia, Geneva. I am so sorry that I don't have time to answer your e-mails but you can rest assured that they are greatly appreciated. Thank you so much. Thanks to everyone who reads the Good Things. The cats at home are fine. I have seen all of them today. I sat in the back yard for almost an hour this evening reading and visiting with the cats. Rascal is lying on the desk near me now and I just got through giving him a love. Have a nice Saturday,
I will see you next time, In Christian Love, Everett.
