GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
(The Lord said) 26 "I will bless my people and their homes around my holy hill. And in the proper season I will send the showers they need. There will be showers of blessing." - Ezekiel 34:26(New Living Translation).
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
(The Apostle Paul said) 32 “And now I entrust you to God and the message of his grace that is able to build you up and give you an inheritance with all those he has set apart for himself." - Acts 20:32(New Living Translation).
A PRAYER
Heavenly Father, You have abundantly blessed me. Thank You for my precious family. Make me a blessing in their lives, as well as in the lives of everyone with whom I come in contact. Although I'm thankful for the material possesions you've given to me, I'm most grateful for the treasure of my family - the only blessings I can take to heaven with me. Amen. - From Light For My Path for Grandparents -
A QUOTE
True prayer is not to be found in the words of the mouth but in the thoughts of the heart.
- Gregory The Great -
THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER
I laugh the most when I laugh with you.
- From Pass Along Promises -
Seize the day and put the least possible trust in tomorrow.
- From Reminisce Magazine -
The world is full of beauty when the heart is full of love.
- From Reminisce Magazine -
NOTES
Today has been a sunny day with high temperatures in the mid seventies. I had lunch with Charley. I went to the post office and then to Walgreens to leave a prescription to be filled. I took a nap this afternoon with Rascal. I always put some treats outside for the cats in the evening and I also put out food for any stray that might be hungry. Tonight at Western Sizzlin Steak House, the "Disabled American Veterans" group provided a free meal for all veterans. Charley, Frank Cuzalina, Bill Kirk and I went for the free meal. I almost wish I hadn't gone. We had to stand in a line that was at least 50 feet long and moved very slowly. Standing on my feet that long made my old crippled back hurt. Besides that I ate too much from the buffet. I rested for a while when I arrived back home and my back is feeling much better now. The meal was in honor of Veterans Day this Thursday. Next Monday night there will be another free meal for veterans at the Golden Corral in Muskogee. Some are planning on going there but I won't be going. The picture tonight is Rascal sitting in a chair sleepy and yawning.
The cats are fine. Little Girl is lying at the patio doors looking our but she doesn't want to go out. Rascal is lying on the desk here beside me. He is asleep but I pet him once in a while. He likes to be petted.
At 10:15 p.m. skies are fair with a temperature of 60 degrees. I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett.

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
6 Though he was God,
he did not think of equality with God
as something to cling to.
7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges;
he took the humble position of a slave
and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form,
8 he humbled himself in obedience to God
and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
he did not think of equality with God

7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges;
he took the humble position of a slave
and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form,
8 he humbled himself in obedience to God
and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
- Philippians 2:5-8(New Living Translation).
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
6 The Lord merely spoke,
and the heavens were created.
He breathed the word,
and all the stars were born.
and the heavens were created.
He breathed the word,
and all the stars were born.
- Psalm 33:6(New Living Translation).
A QUOTE
Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echos are truly endless.
- Mother Teresa -
THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER
It is more difficult to get up and take action than it is to sit up and take notice.
- From Reminisce Magazine -
Do not worry about whether or not the sun will rise, just be prepared to enjoy it.
- From Reminisce Magazine -
Your love for God is reflected by the shining mirror of your soul.
- From Pass Along Promises -
NOTES
Today has been a sunny day with high temperatures around 70 degrees. I attended Sunday School and Worship Service this morning. I had lunch at home. I took a nap this afternoon with a cat or two. I attended church tonight. The picture tonight is Itty Bitty in the middle of the bed. I would like to welcome Amy Anwick to the Good Things. Amy, I hope you find something enjoyable or helpful in the Good Things.
The cats are fine. Little Girl is on the back of the couch. Rascal has been coming in occasionally to eat a bite and I guess to check on me.
At 10:05 p.m. skies are fair with a temperature of 57 degrees. I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett

NOTES
Today has been a sunny day with high temperatures in the mid sixties. The Good Things didn't go out last night. June and I were visiting here in the den last night and listening to some old time music. June and I had lunch today with Charley. We went to the post office and later to Family Dollar Store and Walmart. June left for home in Yukon, Oklahoma, around 2:15 p.m. She called me about 5:30 p.m. to tell me she made it home safe and sound. After June left I took a nap. I sat out for a few minutes this evening with the cats. I had an e-mail from one of my e-mail friends suggesting that someone take a picture of me sleeping with the cats. Well, June made a picture of the cats and me and that is the picture tonight. Rascal is snuggling in front of me, Itty Bitty is near my feet and Smokey is in back of me. All four of us were really snoozing. Emmy was also on the bed but left out when June started to take the picture.
Thanks for the prayers for Devon. I received another e-mail from Carissa this evening. I will post it at the end of the Good Things. I am not sure as to Devon's age but it is in the neighborhood of 12 to 14.
The cats are fine. Yesterday afternoon, June and I took Leo for his annual examination and vaccinations. He was really unhappy about going to the vet. When we got home I guess he was mad at us. He went to the back fence, climbed over it and went marching down the alley. I guess he pouted all night because he didn't come home until this evening when I went out to sit with the cats. I did see him about 2:00 p.m. today about three houses down the alley. He is okay now and has been in tonight eating and doing his usual things. He is a beautiful cat with a fluffy tail so someone might try to adopt him if he doesn't stay home. All cats are different. You never know what is on their mind.
At 10:20 p.m. skies are fair with a temperature of 51 degrees. Have a Wonderful Sunday. I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett.
Here is Carissa's letter:
Devon is home today, he still has swelling in his head but it is going down. He is having a hard time walking due to the swelling pressing against his nerves. He can talk clearly now, his speech was slurred. He still has a lot of pain. He will have another CT scan on Monday to monitor the swelling. Thank you for all the prayers! He still has some healing to do but I think he will be just fine! Thank you Jesus! Love, Carissa

NOTES
Today has been a sunny day with high temperatures in the mid sixties. June and I went out for lunch at Taco Bob's. We came by the post office and then to Walgreens to pick up a prescription. This afternoon we went to Walmart. We went to the cemetery. The flowers at Flonnie's grave are still in place and still beautiful. This evening we sat with the cats for just a few minutes because it was quite chilly. June made some more pictures. The one I am sending tonight is Lucy sitting on the stump of a tree. Everett and Rascal can also be seen. Far to the left of the picture is another cat. I just received an e-mail from my granddaughter, Carissa DeClerck. Her son Devon (my great-grandson) was in an accident. We request your prayers. I will leave a copy of Carissa's letter at the end of the Good Things.
The cats are fine.
At 9:40 p.m. skies are fair with a temperature of 50 degrees. I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett.
Here is Carissa's letter:
Hi grandpa. Devon had an accident tonight and has a 6 inch fracture to his skull that is bleeding through. He's awake and talking now and eating. his vital signs are good and he's getting 2 hour neuro checks. We are watching for swelling and he is getting medicine to control the swelling. We expect him to make a full recovery. Please say a prayer for him! We love you.

(Moses said) 3 "I will proclaim the name of the Lord;

Everything he does is just and fair.
He is a faithful God who does no wrong;
how just and upright he is!"
how glorious is our God!

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
6 Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. 7 You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” 8 And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. - 2 Corinthians 9:6-8(New Living Translation).
A QUOTE
God knew the seasons of life would bring sunshine and rain. . .for both He created the shelter of friendship. - Bonnie Jensen -

NOTES
Today has been mostly sunny with high temperatures around 70 degrees. June and I had lunch with Bill Derichsweiler. Charley had lunch at his church today. June and I then came by the post office and then to Walgreens to pick up a prescription. This afternoon we took Beau to the Vet to get his annual examination and vaccinations. After that I took a nap. Beau and Little Girl joined me at naptime. This evening we sat outside with the cats until the street lights came on.
The cats are fine. Rascal is asleep on the desk near my computer. I can reach over and pet him anytime I wish. He likes to be petted. Little Girl is asleep on the couch, however she has been outside a time or two today. Leo just came to the den for a minute. Beau was a pretty good cat going to the vet after we caught him. He was asleep on a bed but when he heard the rattle of the cat carrier, he took off and went outside. I was able to catch him in a little while.
At 9:15 p.m. skies are fair with a temperature of 51 degrees. I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett.
