Good Things

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. - 1 John 4:7-12(New International Version).

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
24 He (Jesus) himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. - 1 Peter 2:24(New International Version)

A FACT ABOUT CATS
Feline companionship is so comforting, it causes anxiety to dip to levels low enough to reduce heart-attack risk by 33%, reveals a study of more than 4,000 people. - From Gail, my e-mail friend. (Everett's note: Maybe that is why I am living so long.)

NOTES
Today has been a sunny day in McAlester, Oklahoma, with a high temperature of 65 degrees and a low temperature 37 degrees. I saw Charley at noon. I went to the post office and Walgreen's. I took my nap with Tony. I put treats and food outside for the cats at 4:30 p.m. In last night's Good Things, I failed to give a Scripture reference for one of the Bible quotes. The verse was Joel, Chapter 2, Verse 28. Since last time I have heard from Alice, Burlene, Gail, Michelle, Quentin, Pastor J.T., Geneva, Janice and Gaetano. I am always happy to get those e-mails.
The cats are fine. Rascal is on the sofa for a change. I have been letting cats in and out all evening. I have seen all of the cats today.
Have a Nice Friday!
Keep Thinking The Good Thoughts!!! Everett.
