GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD

NOTES
Today has been mostly sunny with a high temperature of 101 degrees. Low temperature this morning was 73 degrees. I can't stay outside but a few minutes in this hot weather. I had lunch with Charley and Bill. I came by the post office to pick up my mail and then I stopped by Walgreens to pick up a couple of prescriptions. I went by the cemetery and then came home. I took my nap in early afternoon. The lady came at 5:00 p.m. and cleaned my house. I put food, treats and fresh water in the back yard for the cats at 7:00 p.m. It was still 99 degrees so it was much too hot to sit outside. I had some comments on the picture of June's yard in Hawaii. One commented that it was a little preview of what the garden of Eden might have looked like. I am sending another picture from June's yard tonight and next time I will send a picture from good old Oklahoma. At my age I will never make a trip to Hawaii. The cats are fine. Little Girl is lying in the front yard at present. Rascal was by a few minutes ago. Some are inside and some are outside at present. At 9:15 p.m. skies are fair with a temperature of 91 degrees. Have a Blessed Sunday and a Happy Safe Independence Day! I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett.
