Good Things

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD:

(Jesus said) 46 "If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." - Matthew 5:46-48(New International Version).

NOTES:

Today has been mostly cloudy with a high temperature of 66 degrees. I had lunch with Charley, Bill, Pastor JT and Steve Leflore, who came with Bill. I went to the post office but no mail today. I took a nap this afternoon. I started my nap with Emmy and when I awakened, Beau had joined us sometime during my nap. I put food and treats out for the kitties at around 6:10 p.m. Thank you for your emails and thanks to everyone for reading the Good Things.

The cats are fine. None are with me at present but they have been around just recently. I have seen all of them this evening.

Have a nice Friday. Everett

oh, glad tidings this day did bring

how my heart and soul did sing

discovered that someone cared

a special witness was shared

one allowed a hug and a prayer

hands held together - yes, God was there

two women just trying to get by

not understanding why these days she will cry

last week with pills in trembling hand

to end her life was what she planned

yes, today she shared her story

God gets all the credit and glory

she didn't take the pills and fall upon the floor

the LORD knocked and she slowly opened the door

now she's going to church and accepting God's love

keep lifting her in prayer to the Master above

oh, glad tidings this day did bring

on March 21st - the first day of Spring

Revelation 3:20-21 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame, and sat down with my Father on His throne.

NOTES:

Today has been a sunny day with a high temperature of 63 degrees. I had lunch with Charley. As I came home from lunch I went to the post office for my mail and then by Walgreen's to pick up a prescription. At around 1:00 p.m. I went to the Petsense store and Walmart to pick up my weekly supplies for my cats and me. Later I took a nap with Beau, Smokey and Tony. At 6:00 p.m. I put food, treats and water out for the animals. I would ask that you excuse the mistakes that I make and any ramblings that you do not understand. Thanks for your emails and thanks for reading the Good Things.

The cats are fine. Rascal is in the recliner chair and the others have been coming and going. I have seen all of them this evening.

Have a nice Thursday. Everett

1. There's a scroll that's sealed up in heaven

That contains the deed to the earth;

Only One is worthy to open:

Christ Who died that we might have new birth.

Chorus:

He is worthy; Christ is worthy;

The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

He is worthy of our worship;

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain.

2. Jesus died that He might redeem man;

Shed His blood and rose from the grave.

Now He lives, the King of all glory,

And is worthy of love from the saved.

3. Sing Christ's praise with angels of heaven-

With the elders sing that new song;

His all wisdom, power and blessing,

And to Jesus all glory belongs.

spring in Virginia; the oak

pollen makes me sneeze.
