What is grace?

It’s saying sorry when you are not to blame

Being sorry for someone’s pain

Praying for someone

When you don’t even know their name

It’s keeping it quiet

When you’ve done something kind

And being willing to change your mind

It’s going that extra mile when it’s not easy to do

Putting someone else’s needs

Ahead of what seems best for you

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD:

12 Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. - 1 Timothy 4:12(New International Version).

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD:

A QUOTE:

Repentance is a turning around, or a conscious and deliberate turning from sin and setting one's face toward God instead of toward one's self. - Roger J. Green -

NOTES:

Today has been partly cloudy with a strong wind from the northwest direction and a high temperature of 66 degrees. I had lunch with Charley. I went to the post office. I took my afternoon nap with Emmy and Smokey. I put food and treats outside for the cats at around 6:00 p.m. It was much too windy to sit our with them this evening. Thanks to everyone who reads the Good Things and thanks for your emails.

The cats are fine. Leo and Rascal are in the den with me at present. I have seen all of them this evening.

Have a nice Wednesday. Everett

2007 (C) What Does The Cross Mean To You?

Good Things

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD:

15 But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. - 1 Peter 3:15-16(New International Version).

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD:

8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. - 1 John 4:8(New International Version).

A QUOTE:

God's love, grace and mercy are still available if we have the courage to open ourselves to trust and be transformed. - Brent Peterson -

THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER:

Hatred promotes self-destruction; love fulfills Christ's instructions. - From Our Daily Bread - I wish for you the inner clarity of light that never allows a small worry to cast a big shadow. - From I Wish For You - What you don't know never hurts you; it's what you suspect that causes all the trouble. - From Reminisce Magazine -

NOTES:

Today has been partly cloudy with high temperatures in the mid seventies. We had a rain shower around 6:30 p.m. that was over in a few minutes. I had lunch with Charley, Bill and Mark (Bill's son). I went to the post office for my mail and then to CVS for a couple of items. I took a nap with Emmy. At around 6:00 p.m I put food outside and sat with the cats for a few minutes just before the rain shower came up. I appreciate each one who reads the Good Things and I appreciate the emails.

The cats are fine. Rascal is the only one around at present and he is in the recliner. I have seen all my babies this evening.

Have a nice Tuesday, Everett.

Lord Jesus, cover me with Your love.

Come in power, yet gentle as a dove.

Fill me with Your holy Presence.

Your glorious, sacred essence.

Lord Jesus, I adore You.

Fill me up, I implore You.

I just want to adore You!

You are the Lover of my soul.

I will never, ever let You go.

Baptize me fully in Your love.

Pour out Your Spirit from above.

Lord Jesus, I need You so.

I need more of You to know.

I just want more of You to know.

There's nothing else... no one else will do.

Precious Jesus, it's only You! Only You!

Draw me into your holiness.

Have mercy on my lowliness.

I thirst to drink Your water of life.

Purify and sanctify Your holy bride.

You birthed me from Your wounded side.
