GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
 
18 Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.
- 1 John 3:18(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
 
24 Give freely and become more wealthy;
      be stingy and lose everything.
25 The generous will prosper;
      those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.
- Proverbs 11:24-25(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
A QUOTE
 
Sin is not an unfortunate slip or a regrettable act; it is a posture of defiance against a holy God.
- Max Lucado -
 
 
 
THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER
 
God is in control; He is sovereign.
- From Reflecting God -
 
If people didn't say anything unless they knew what they were talking about, a ghastly hush would fall upon the earth.  - From Reminisce Magazine -
 
 
 
NOTES
 
Today has been mostly cloudy with high temperatures around 30 degrees.  I went to Crest Food Market today, then by the post office.  I picked up a sandwich from Wendy's.  I worked a little in the study this afternoon.
 
The cats are fine.  As I was lying on my bed this afternoon, Rascal was on a high shelf.  I invited him to come sleep with me.  He came and got real close to me and laid his head on my hand.  He is a loving boy.  Beau and Leo are cuddled together in the computer chair asleep now.  All the cats are inside except Smokey.
 
At 6:30 p.m. skies are cloudy with a temperature of 28 degrees.  I will see you next time.
 
In sincere Christian Love, Everett.

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
 
(Jesus said) 13 "When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future."  - John 16:13(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
 
(Jesus said)
10 "God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right,
      for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs."

 11 “God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers. 12 Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way."  - Matthew 5:10-12(New Living Translation).

 

A QUOTE

On occasion God lets me have something I think I want, and I discover it's not everything I'd thought it would be.  - Shawna Renee Bound -

 

THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER

A smile is a language even a baby understands.  - From Reminisce Magazine -

God, as Creator and Lord, can execute judgment any way He wants.  - From Reflecting God -

 

NOTES

Today has been mostly cloudy with high temperatures in the low thirties.  We didn't get any snow last night.  I attended church this morning.  I had lunch at home.  I slept this afternoon.  The summary of the church service will be in a different paragraph.

The cats are fine.  As I was taking my nap this afternoon different cats would come at different times, namely Beau, Happy, Little Girl and Rascal.

Here is a summary of the Worship Service this morning at Southpointe Church of The Nazarene:

Pastor Doug Vernier gave a welcome and announcements, then everyone greeted each other with some old fashioned hand shakes and hugs.  Gilbert Hockett led the singing with Doug Gulley on the piano and Carol Hockett on the organ.  Praise and Worship songs sung by the congregation were "We Have Come Into His House", "I Will Praise Him" and "My Jesus I Love You."  The Prayer Chorus was "I Give All To You."  Offerings and Tithes were then taken with Rachel Vernier playing the Offeratory on the piano.  The Special Song was sung by Gilbert Hockett titled "Hold To God's Unchanging Hand."  The title of Pastor Doug's Sermon was "Traveling Wise" with Scripture from Matthew 2:1-2.  At the close of the Service, Pastor Doug dismissed with prayer.  At the end of the Good Things tonight I will leave the words to one of the songs we sang this morning.  Sing it if you know the melody, otherwise just read the beautiful truthful words.

At 6:55 p.m. skies are cloudy with a temperature of 25 degrees.  I will see you next time.

In sincere Christian Love, Everett.

 

I Will Praise Him
Words and Music by Mar­ga­ret J. Har­ris
1898

Psalm 109:30
"I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth;
yea, I will praise him among the multitude."

          When I saw the cleansing fountain
          Open wide for all my sin,
          I obeyed the Spirit’s wooing,
          When He said, "Wilt thou be clean?"

           

            Refrain
            I will praise Him!  I will praise Him!
            Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;
            Give Him glory, all ye people,
            For His blood can wash away each stain.

          Though the way seems straight and narrow,
          All I claimed was swept away;
          My ambitions, plans and wishes,
          At my feet in ashes lay.

           

            Refrain
            I will praise Him!  I will praise Him!
            Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;
            Give Him glory, all ye people,
            For His blood can wash away each stain.

          Then God’s fire upon the altar
          Of my heart was set aflame;
          I shall never cease to praise Him
          Glory, glory to His Name!

           

            Refrain
            I will praise Him!  I will praise Him!
            Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;
            Give Him glory, all ye people,
            For His blood can wash away each stain.

          Blessed be the Name of Jesus!
          I’m so glad He took me in;
          He’s forgiven my transgressions,
          He has cleansed my heart from sin.

           

            Refrain
            I will praise Him!  I will praise Him!
            Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;
            Give Him glory, all ye people,
            For His blood can wash away each stain.

          Glory, glory to the Father!
          Glory, glory to the Son!
          Glory, glory to the Spirit!
          Glory to the Three in One!

           

            Refrain
            I will praise Him!  I will praise Him!
            Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;
            Give Him glory, all ye people,
            For His blood can wash away each stain.

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
 
 1 God is our refuge and strength,
      always ready to help in times of trouble.
 2 So we will not fear when earthquakes come
      and the mountains crumble into the sea.
 3 Let the oceans roar and foam.
      Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!
- Psalm 46:1-3(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
 
14 Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven.  - James 5:14-15(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
A QUOTE
 
Hope means to keep living amid desperation and to keep humming in the darkness.
- Henri J. M. Nouwen -
 
 
 
THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER
 
It's OK to take our complaints to God.
- From Reflecting God -
 
Sometimes you have to be silent in order to be heard.
- From Reminisce Magazine -
 
 
 
NOTES
 
Today has been partly cloudy with high temperatures in the low thirties.  My son, Ron, and wife Angie came over about 11:30 a.m.  Shortly after that my grandson, Chris, came with four of my great-grandchildren, Holly, Jaimie, Jon and Nick.  We got several pizzas for lunch and everyone had all the pizza they could eat and took some home with them.  After the pizza we opened Christmas presents, since we were snowed in on Christmas Day.  Everyone liked their gifts.  About 2:00 p.m. it was getting time for Jaimie's nap so Chris and the kids left.  Ron and Angie left about 3:00 p.m.   Angie cleaned my house today so I will have a nice clean house for a day or two until the kitties and I mess it up again.  I know some of you have heard that I am moving back to McAlester so I will tell you that my plans are to move back to my house in McAlester soon if it is the Lord's Will.  My house was on the market for 10 months and didn't sell so that might be one sign among others that I should move back to McAlester.  I like the house that I am living in now but I think I need to move back "home".
 
The cats are fine.  They stayed hidden today while the company was here except for Happy.  He is the friendly one so he is usually around when I have visitors.  Leo is in a chair here in the study.  Rascal just came inside so he is here in the study visiting with me.
 
At 6:40 p.m. skies are mostly cloudy with a temperature of 30 degrees.  We may have some light snow tonight.  I will see you next time.
 
Have a Wonderful Sunday!  In sincere Christian Love, Everett.

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
 
(The Lord says) 24 "I will answer them before they even call to me.
      While they are still talking about their needs,
      I will go ahead and answer their prayers!
 25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together.
      The lion will eat hay like a cow.
      But the snakes will eat dust.
   In those days no one will be hurt or destroyed on my holy mountain.
      I, the Lord, have spoken!”
- Isaiah 65:24-25(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
 
19 And if our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are more to be pitied than anyone in the world. 20 But in fact, Christ has been raised from the dead. He is the first of a great harvest of all who have died.  - 1 Corinthians 15:19-20(New Living Translation).

God loves you in the morning sun and the evening rain.

God is in control!
- From Reflecting God -
 
Just be foolish enough to speak the truth and others will seek your wisdom.

NOTES
 
Today has been a sunny day with high temperatures in the mid forties.  My son, Ron, and wife, Angie, came about noontime and we went to Furr's for lunch.  There were many families eating out today.  Ron and Angie went home about 2:00 p.m. but will be back tomorrow.  Grandkids and great grandkids are supposed to be here tomorrow.
 
The cats are fine going in and out as they please.  Happy napped with me this afternoon.
 
At 5:55 p.m. skies are clear with a temperature of 39 degrees.  I will see you next time.
 
In sincere Christian Love, Everett.
