Good Things

by Everett Christian, McAlester, OK

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. - Hebrews 12:1-3(New International Version.

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
(An angel of the Lord said to Joseph) 21 "She (Mary) will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” - Matthew 1:21(New International Version).

THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER

NOTES
Today has been partly cloudy with a high temperature of 72 degrees and a low this morning of 50 degrees. I was all ready to go to church this morning and was ready to put on my clothes that I wear to church, when suddenly I had a sick spell and didn't feel like continuing to get ready. So I lay down on the bed and by the time I got easy it was too late to go. Maybe the Lord wanted me to stay home today for some reason. I had lunch at home. I took my usual nap this afternoon. Tony was around part of the time. I put treats outside for the cats at 4:30 p.m. Since the last Good Things I have heard from Alice and June (my daughter). I heard from Pastor JT and Gaetano today checking on me since I wasn't at church.
The cats are fine. Rascal is in his usual place in the recliner. They have all been around this evening.
Have a good Monday to start the week!
I will see you next time. In Christian Love, Everett.
