GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
 
 (The Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy) 15 "Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth. 16 Avoid worthless, foolish talk that only leads to more godless behavior."  - 2 Timothy 2:15-16(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
 
11 You (Lord) have made known to me the path of life;
       You will fill me with joy in your presence,
       With eternal pleasures at your right hand. 
- Psalm 16:11(New International Version).

We can reflect God's love in our lives based on the love we show others.

A THOUGHT TO REMEMBER
 
Middle age is when you've met so many people that every new person reminds you of someone else.

NOTES
 
Today has been cloudy with a little light rain early this morning.  I had an appointment with my urologist this morning.  He thinks I am doing okay and wants to see me again in three months.  I had lunch with Charley and came by the post office and then by the county treasurer's office to pay my property tax.  About 4:30 p.m. I went to Country Mart for a few items.  I would like to welcome Alice to the Good Things tonight.  She is a friend of my good friend, Paula Caldwell.  I heard from Carol and Gilbert Hockett today from Oklahoma City.  I attended church with them when I lived in Moore.  I also hear from Michelle Angelina every time she reads the Good Things.  Michelle needs our prayers for her financial and physical problems.  I heard from Nan Forehand last night.  I hear from many of my friends and I don't usually mention their names but you can rest assured that I do appreciate all the notes I receive.
 
The cats are fine.  Rascal is usually close by checking on me and looking on to whatever I am doing.  Happy just came in and is eating dry food here on a desk by my computer.  Little Girl is on the back of the couch as usual.  I couldn't make it without my cats for company.
 
At 10:05 p.m. Skies are fair with a temperature of 47 degrees.  I will see you next time.
 
In Christian Love, Everett.

Religious Persecution

 

 

I received this e-mail from a good Christian friend of mine asking us to join in prayer for our brothers and sisters in Christ under persecution in India.

*******************************

Subject: urgent prayer reques
  
  To: Pastor Dave
 Subject: Urgent Prayer Request "Urgent prayer request! Please pray for churches in India . Buddhist extremists in India burned down 20 churches last two days. They are planning to destroy 200 churches in the province of Olisabang . They plan to kill 200 missionaries within 24 hours. Right now all Christians are hiding in villages. Please pray for them and send this mail to Christians you know. Please ask God to have mercy on our brothers and sisters in India "

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
 
29 The Lord is far from the wicked,
      but he hears the prayers of the righteous.
- Proverbs 15:29(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
 
1 Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? 2 Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? 3 Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death? 4 For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism.  And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives.  5 Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was.  - Romans 6:1-5(New Living Translation).

NOTES
 
Today has been mostly sunny with high temperatures near 70 degrees.  I had lunch with Charley.  I went to the post office.  Later I went to Walmart and came back by Sonic for a half priced hamburger.  Not much news today.  I had a call from my son, Ron, a few minutes ago from Oklahoma CIty.  One of his cats had died and it always hurts them to lose a kitty.
 
The cats are fine.  It is amazing how each one of them at different times will come by to get some attention from me.  I guess they think that I am a big cat.  They have been going in and out tonight since the weather is mild.
 
At 9:35 p.m. skies are fair with a temperature of 63 degrees.  I will see you next time.
 
In Christian Love, Everett.

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
 
 18 Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life. 19 And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God.  - Ecclesiastes 5:18-19(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
 
21 Dear friends, if we don’t feel guilty, we can come to God with bold confidence. 22 And we will receive from him whatever we ask because we obey him and do the things that please him. 23 And this is his commandment: We must believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he commanded us. 24 Those who obey God’s commandments remain in fellowship with him, and he with them. And we know he lives in us because the Spirit he gave us lives in us.  - 1 John 3:21-24(New Living Translation).

God's plan is for His people to live lives in holiness.

Be careful how you live; you may be the only Bible some people read.

NOTES
 
Today has been a sunny day in McAlester, Oklahoma with high temperatures in the low sixties.  The five inches of snow that we received yesterday disappeared today.  I had lunch with Charley.  I met some good friends at the post office, Ruth and Lawrence Traughber.  I worked with Ruth at H&R Block for several years.  I then went by Sandy Isenhower's office and left information for my tax return to be prepared.  While there I had a good reunion with her husband, Charles, who has a garage next to Sandy's office.  I have Rhapsody on my computer where I can listen to just about any song that has been recorded.  While I have been doing the Good Things I have been listening to sacred songs by Elvis Presley.  Right now "Only Believe" is playing and after that "Amazing Grace" is playing.
 
The cats are fine, going in and out tonight as they please.  Little Girl is on her favorite spot on the back of the couch here in the den.  Emmy is on a desk close by me eating dry food.
 
At 10:00 p.m. skies are fair with a temperature of 49 degrees.  I will see you next time.
 
In Christian Love, Everett.

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
 
 3 Children are a gift from the Lord;
      they are a reward from him.
- Psalm 127:3(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
 
8 He (the Lord) covers the sky with clouds;
       he supplies the earth with rain
       and makes grass grow on the hills.

9 He provides food for the cattle
       and for the young ravens when they call.

- Psalm 147:8-9(New Living Translation).

 

A QUOTE

It's good to know that even in our darkest days, Jesus continues to stay with us. - Tom Felder -

 

A THOUGHT TO REMEMBER

Where all people think alike, no one thinks very much. - From Reminisce Magazine -

 

NOTES

When I awoke this morning there was snow on the ground and it was snowing.  Our church canceled services today as did most churches in McAlester.  The snow finally stopped in early afternoon.  I have been home with my cats all day except I did drive two blocks to get an Oklahoma City paper.  They don't deliver Oklahoma City papers in McAlester anymore so I have to go to a convenience store to get one.  Of course I had lunch and supper at home.  On days like this is when I miss my Flonnie the most and long to go join her.  Thank the Lord for our cats that are so much company to me.  It was on a Sunday evening about this time when the Lord took Flonnie to Heaven.

The cats are fine.  They go to the back porch occasionally but do not like the snow.  Little Girl is here in the den on the back of the couch.

At 8:20 p.m. skies are cloudy with a temperature of 38 degrees.  We are supposed to have a warm sunny day tomorrow so most of the snow will melt away.  I will see you next time.

In Christian Love, Everett.
