Good Things

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD:

15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise - the fruit of lips that confess His name. 16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. - Hebrews 13:15-16(New International Version).

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD:

5 Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this: 6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. - Psalm 37:5-6(New International Version).

A QUOTE:

NOTES:

Today has been partly cloudy with high temperatures in the seventies. I had lunch with Charley and Bill. It seems that Bill is doing very well from his surgery. I went to the post office. I took a nap with Tony. At around 2:30 p.m. I went to the barber shop and got a haircut. I held Jeffry, the orange colored cat for a minute or so. He never meets a stranger. I came back by Braum's and picked up a snack for my evening meal. I put food out for the animals at around 6:00 p.m. and sat with them for a few minutes. Last night Smokey was sleeping with me. Along about 3:00 a.m. there was a loud clap of thunder. Smokey took off and hid. He always hides somewhere when we have a thunderstorm until the storm passes. Tonight I am going to leave you with another song at the end of the Good Things titled "Till The Storm Passes By." Go to you tube and there are several videos of this song. Thanks for your emails and thanks for reading the Good Things.

The cats are fine. Rascal is with me at present and the others have been around. I have seen all of them this evening.

Have a nice Wednesday. Everett.

Keep Thinking The Good Thoughts~!!!

Here is the song.

TILL THE STORM PASSES BY

(Mosie Lister)

Recorded by: Bill Gaither; Vestal Goodman; Greater Vision; Inspirations; Ron Jarman; Ben Speer.

In the dark of the midnight have I oft hid my face, While the storm howls above me, and there's no hiding place. 'Mid the crash of the thunder, Precious Lord, hear my cry, Keep me safe till the storm passes by.

Chorus:

Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more, Till the clouds roll forever from the sky; Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand, Keep me safe till the storm passes by. Many times Satan whispered, "There is no need to try, For there's no end of sorrow, there's no hope by and by" But I know Thou art with me, and tomorrow I'll rise Where the storms never darken the skies.

Chorus:

Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more, Till the clouds roll forever from the sky; Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand, Keep me safe till the storm passes by.

When the long night has ended and the storms come no more, Let me stand in Thy presence on the bright peaceful shore; In that land where the tempest, never comes, Lord, may I Dwell with Thee when the storm passes by.

Chorus:

Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more, Till the clouds roll forever from the sky; Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand, Keep me safe till the storm passes by.
