Good Things

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD:

2 I will bow down toward your holy temple (O Lord) and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your Name and your Word. - Psalm 138:2(New International Version).

A PROMISE FROM GOD'S HOLY WORD:

9 You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly. The streams of God are filled with water to provide the people with grain, for so You have ordained it. 10 You drench its furrows and level its ridges; You soften it with showers and bless its crops. 11 You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance. 12 The grasslands of the desert overflow; the hills are clothed with gladness. 13 The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain; they shout for joy and sing. - Psalm 65:9-13 (New International Version).

NOTES:

Today has been partly cloudy with rain this morning before and after daylight but stopping by around 9:00 a.m. I had three tenths of an inch of rain at my house. High temperature today was 85 degrees. I had lunch today with Charley, Bill and our nephew, Denton. Michelle was our waitress today. I saw good friends, Stan, Sue and Pam at Taco Bobs. I went to the post office and then stopped by the CVS store for a couple of items. At 1:30 p.m. I went to the Dental Clinic for more impressions to be made for my new upper dental plate. I still have my bottom teeth and they are going to have to work a little on them also. I took a nap without a cat but Emmy was on a shelf nearby. I put treats outside for the cats a little after 6:00 p.m. and sat with them for about 30 minutes. I thought about letting the Good Things rest tonight, but then I thought that I don't know how much longer that I will be able to do the Good Things so I had better do them while I am able. Thanks for your emails and thanks for reading the Good Things.

My cats are fine. Leo and Tony, my two orange and white colored cats are on the desk near me. Leo is a long hair and Tony is a short hair. The hair on long haired cats grows so fast in the summer that I sometimes have to trim it a little. I had to trim a couple of lumps of long hair from Leo this evening. All the cats are present and accounted for tonight. Tony is quite a talker and he just meowed that he wanted out, so I let him out and Leo went with him.

Have a nice Friday. Everett
