Good Things

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD:

1 Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise Him in the heights above. 2 Praise Him, all His angels, praise Him, all His heavenly hosts. 3 Praise Him, sun and moon, praise Him, all you shining stars. - Psalm 148:1-3(New International Version).

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD:

11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. 12 It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope - the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for Himself a people that are His very own, eager to do what is good. - Titus 2:11-14(New International Version).

A QUOTE:

A pure heart is the work of Christ, and only in His power can we remain clean. - David McCasland -

Good mothers not only tell us how to live - they show us. - From Our Daily Bread -:

I hope you do what you love, find work that makes you happy, and live life with gusto. - From I Wish For You -

NOTES:

Today has been partly cloudy with a high temperature of 86 degrees. I attended Worship Services this morning. We sang choruses, hymns and spiritual songs. Stan and his, daughter, Laura, sang a special song. Laura is the pianist at our church. The title of Pastor JT's sermon was "Transformational Living: Learning from a Mother's Heart." I had lunch at home. I took a nap this afternoon without a cat. I had to make a quick trip to the Dollar Store at around 6:30 p.m as I was completely out of coffee. I put food out for the animals at around 6:00 p.m. After I finish the Good Things I have to put the garbage out on the street for pick up in the morning. Thanks for your emails and thanks for reading the Good Things.

The cats are fine. None are with me now, but they have been coming and going and I have seen all of them this evening.

I hope all the mothers had a happy Mother's Day! Everett.
