GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
 
 3 I will thank you, Lord, among all the people.
      I will sing your praises among the nations.
 4 For your unfailing love is higher than the heavens.
      Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
- Psalm 108:3-4(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD

NOTES
 
Today has been partly cloudy with high temperatures in the mid seventies.  I had lunch with Bill today.  My brother, Charley and Denton McNutt (our nephew) went to a funeral today in Fort Smith, Arkansas, for David Christian, our nephew.  He was 51 years of age.  Since Charley had someone to go with him, I did not go because of my back problem.  I came by the post office.  I had a nap with Smokey.  Later in the afternoon I went for a hair cut.  The picture yesterday were Morning Glorys from our back yard in in 2004.  The picture tonight is also of the same Morning Glorys, but a different picture.  Mary Ellen Smith from Colorado sent me a poem last night after seeing the picture.  The poem was written by her and I will leave it at the end of the Good Things tonight. 
 
The cats are fine.  Little Girl in her usual place. Itty Bitty and Rascal were in a little whie ago.
 
At 10:10 p.m. skies are fair with a temperature of 63 degrees.  I will see you next time.
 
In Christian Love, Everett
 
Here is Mary Ellen's poem:

Everett, such a lovely picture of the morning glories! I love them. Here is a poem I wrote a while back about that most delicate of flowers. Thank you for the inspiration to look it up and share it!God bless you and your wonderful cats!

a morning glory story

by Mary Ellen Smith


underneath the morning glory's heart shaped leaf of green,
near to where the hummingbird for a moment can be seen,
there, where well dressed ladybugs spend summer's last long day
the shade is cool and kind to all who happen on her way.
.
she dresses every dawning with her trumpet blooms of blue.
and some think she is crying but tis only morning's dew.
so delicate her tendrils as she gently climbs to see
where else to weave her flowered canopy.
.
the busy bees stop by to catch a little nectar sweet.
noisily they buzz about with pollen on their feet.
fuzzy black and yellow, the bumblebees a sight
musically making merry in their flight.
.
a bluebird flies in to rest before her day is done
and toward evening it seems she is not the only one.
they find a spot and perch a while upon a nearby trellis
some say the morning glory's blue can make a bluebird jealous.
.
now as the sun yawns sleepily a friendly warm goodbye
the morning glory looks above to see a starlit sky.
content now in the darkness she knows that all will keep.
and settles she in for the night to get her beauty sleep.
