GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
 
 (Jesus said to the disciples) 20 "I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn over what is going to happen to me, but the world will rejoice. You will grieve, but your grief will suddenly turn to wonderful joy. 21 It will be like a woman suffering the pains of labor. When her child is born, her anguish gives way to joy because she has brought a new baby into the world. 22 So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy."  - John 16:20-22(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
 
 (The Lord said to Joshua) 8 "Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”  - Joshua 1:8-9(New International Version).

NOTES
 
Today has been partly with a high temperature of 53 degrees.  Low temperature last night was 19 degrees.  I had lunch with Charley and Bill.  I went to the post office, then to Country Mart and then my weekly trip to Walmart for cat food and supplies.  I had my nap this afternoon and put food out for the outside animals around 5:00 p.m.  I still have coughing spells at times.  I want everyone to know that I have just as hard a time living up to the Scriptures I post as you do.  As the Apostle Paul wrote, I must guard myself constantly lest I be a castaway after I have sent all these Scriptures to others.  I think that most everyone who knows me will tell you that I like to joke and kid with people as much as anyone.  I must guard my speech lest I overspeak.  A couple of people sent e-mails thinking the picture last night was Leo and they were right.  I will see if you recognize the cat in tonight's picture.
 
The cats are fine.  Little Girl on the couch and Rascal asleep on a desk close to me.  I think the others are also resting somewhere.
 
At 9:30 p.m. skies are mostly cloudy with a temperature of 47 degrees.  Have a Happy Sunday because of God's Wonderful Blessings.  I will see you next time.
 
In Christian Love, Everett.
