NOTES
 
It has rained most of the day in McAlester, Oklahoma, with high temperatures in the mid fifties.  I attended Sunday School and church this morning.  I had lunch at home.  I took a nap this aftenoon.  At one time this afternoon there were four cats in bed with me.  I attended church tonight.  One of the songs that we sang tonight was "Heaven Came Down."  I will leave that song at the end of the Good Things tonight.
 
The cats are fine.  It is too wet for them to go outside tonight since it has been raining.  Happy is in the recliner here in the den and Little Girl is on the back of the couch.
 
At 9:30 p.m. skies are cloudy with a temperature of 47 degrees.  Have a Good Day on Monday!  I will see you next time.
 
In Christian Love, Everett.
 
Here is the song, sing it if you know the melody:
 
Heaven Came Down
Words and music by John W. Peterson
© 1961

O what a wonderful, wonderful day, day I will never forget;
After I'd wandered in darkness away, Jesus my Savior I met.
O what a tender, compassionate friend, He met the need of my heart;
Shadows dispelling, with joy I am telling, He made all the darkness depart.

           

            Chorus
            Heaven came down and glory filled my soul, (filled my soul)
            When at the cross the Savior made me whole; (made me whole)
            My sins were washed away and my night was turned to day,
            Heaven came down and glory filled my soul! (filled my soul)

          Born of the Spirit with life from above into God's family divine,
          Justified fully thru Calvary's love, O what a standing is mine!
          And the transaction so quickly was made, when as a sinner I came,
          Took of the offer, of grace He did proffer, He saved me, O praise His dear name!

            Chorus
            Heaven came down and glory filled my soul, (filled my soul)
            When at the cross the Savior made me whole; (made me whole)
            My sins were washed away and my night was turned to day,
            Heaven came down and glory filled my soul! (filled my soul)

          Now I've a hope that will surely endure after the passing of time;
          I have a future in heaven for sure there in those mansions sublime.
          And it's because of that wonderful day, when at the cross I believed;
          Riches eternal and blessings supernal, from His precious hand I received.

            Chorus
            Heaven came down and glory filled my soul, (filled my soul)
            When at the cross the Savior made me whole; (made me whole)
            My sins were washed away and my night was turned to day,
            Heaven came down and glory filled my soul! (filled my soul)
