NOTES:

Today has been mostly sunny with a high temperature of 86 degrees. I had lunch with Charley. I went to the post office, then to Walgreens to pick up a prescription, then to the Petsense store for cat food and then to Walmart for my weekly supplies. I took my usual nap this afternoon. I put treats and food outside for the cats at around 6:10 p.m. and sat with them for about five minutes. Thanks for your emails and thanks for reading the Good Things.

The cats are fine. Rascal is lying on a desk near me and Lucy is lying close to my feet. I have seen all of them this evening.

Have a nice Wednesday. Everett

Sift..soften my rebellious heart

Until it speaks for Thee

So glib...my tongue can form the words

How difficult...to be

From many chambered rooms extract

The dross that dwells therein

Self wrongly calls it 'lapses'

You rightly call it 'sin'

Where sin-rot residue remains

Root-route the evil there

Rend to my heart with blood-bought loam

Under Your Spirit's care

What varied beauty then might bloom

Astounding all who see

Grace-gardened ground where love can flower

A bouquet Lord...for Thee

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD:

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD:

22 Then Jesus said to His disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! - Luke 12:22-24(New International Version).

A QUOTE:

Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. - Ralph Waldo Emerson -

THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER:

Horse sense is just stable thinking. - From Reminisce Magazine -

Valuable lessons are learned from examining the lives of God's people who have gone before. - From Our Daily Bread -

Your future doesn't lie ahead of you, waiting to happen. It lies deep inside of you, waiting to be discovered. - From Go For It -

NOTES:

Today has been a sunny day with a high temperature of 83 degrees. I had lunch with Charley, Bill and our nephew, Denton. I went to the post office and then to Walgreens to order a prescription. I had been having a little problem with my iphone so I went to the AT&T store for help. A nice lady by the name of Kari fixed the problem. I took a nap with Smokey. I put food outside for the kitties at a little after 6:00 p.m. I didn't sit long with them because the wind was blowing strong from the south direction. Thanks for your emails and thanks for reading the Good Things.

The cats are fine. Tony just went outside so none of them are with me at present. I have seen all of them this evening.

Have a nice Tuesday. Everett.

Give us today our daily bread

For You’re the Lord who cares,

Your loving heart flows into our life.

We rely on Your mercy and faithfulness;

Day by day surely shall You take care of us!

Our needs You supply in every circumstances,

We lean on Your Word, and be blessed,

Like the sunshine is Your amazing grace!

With humble heart we let You know our petitions,

From Your throne of mercy Your goodness descends,

Satisfying our soul with perfect peace and love.

Near to God’s heart, we can rejoice all the time;

So constant is Your guidance, it sustains our life!

Your precious children we’re, completely redeemed,

Our compassionate friend is Jesus, for ages You’re the same,

Now we worship You, O Lord, the source of all blessing.

NOTES:

Today has been partly cloudy with a high temperature of 79 degrees. I didn't attend Worship Service today as I overslept and didn't have time to get ready. I guess I might have overslept because I was tired when I went to bed last night. I have mainly rested today having my three meals at home and taking a nap with Smokey in early afternoon. I have felt pretty good today as my back has not been giving me any trouble. I do take my three pain pills every day to keep my back from hurting. I put food and treats outside for the cats at around 6:00 p.m. and sat with them for about 30 minutes. Thanks for everything, emails, prayers and reading the Good Things.

The cats are fine. None are with me at present but I have seen all of them this evening.

Have a nice Monday to start the week. Everett
