 GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” - Matthew 11:28-30(New Living Translation).
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
(Jesus said) 7 “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened." - Matthew 7:7-8(New Living Translation).

NOTES
Today has been sunny with a lot of haze in the sky. High temperature was 89 degrees. Low temperature this morning was 75 degrees. One weather commentator said the haze was from the wildfires in Arizona. I had lunch with Charley. I went to the post office. I took a nap in early afternoon. Around 3:00 p.m. I took Itty Bitty to the vet for her annual examination and vaccinations. She was very unhappy with the trip but when we arrived back home she was her usual friendly self so I guess she held no grudges. I sat out in the back yard with the cats and read for about an hour this evening. Most of you have received pictures the past two days of my new great granddaughter. If you didn't receive a picture and would like one send me an e-mail. The picture I am sending tonight is my daughter, Treva, with her dog, Libby. I would like to request your prayers for my nephew, Fred Renfro and wife Ruby who live in Mesa, Arizona. Fred has cancer of the kidneys and will have to have surgery. The cats are fine. They are outside at present. Rascal was just on the desk near me for a bite of food and checking on me. At 9:15 p.m. skies are fair with a temperature of 82 degrees. I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett.
