Welcome to Thankful Thursday - June 3, 2010



Good Evening Sweet Friends,
*
Hope your Thursday has been a good one.
*
I really can't believe it is Thursday already,
course,  guess that is because of the short
 work week.
*
Our day is going well...........and hubbies day
is going really well!  He is doing some consulting
work for his old Company as I write,  he is 
working away over there with gusto!  lol
So guess that would be my
#1
I am thankful 
for the fact,  he is getting some consulting
work already.  He is already a happy man
but this just adds icing to the cake!!  If you
know what I mean!!
*
#2
I am thankful
for a number of the men in our church 
that have been so sweet and supportive to
Jimmy by calling and praying with him,  and
just letting him know they are sorry about
his lay off and that they are praying.  One
fellow even told us the Lord had been
waking him up at night to pray for him.
How neat is that!!
*
#3
I am thankful
that Dee is coming to do my hair tonight,
and to have dinner and  hang out awhile since
 Jimmy has a meeting tonight at church.
  It will be a fun girls night!! lol
*
#4
I am thankful
for the great time we had with the family
on Memorial Day.  That is always such
a blessing,  and one I never want to take
for granted,  cause you never know how
long everyone will be living in the same area.
*
#5
I am thankful
that we have had Rosie all week,  it has
added a lot of fun to our week.  She has
to go home tonight!!  Poo!!  lol




(Rosie our lil furry grandaughter dog)

#6
I am thankful
that Scott's girlfriend's MRI came out all
clear,  since she has been having awful
Migraine headaches,  and especially since
Brain Aneurysm's run in the family.
That is truly a relief to all of us,  she is
such a sweetie.  
and
If you feel so lead please pray the Dr.
will be able to find a way to help her 
with these Migraine headaches.
*
#7
I am thankful
for the nice emails that Jimmy has
gotten from people at work,  particularly
one from the fellow that had to lay him off.
It was very supportive, encouraging, 
heartfelt,  and reassuring.  I know it had
to make him feel great!
*
#8
I am thankful
that he was able to get the car fixed
and that it was just the battery,  and
that we had the $$ to buy the battery.
*
#9
I am thankful
that Dee was not hurt in anyway 
yesterday morning because someone
rear-ended her car for the 6th or 7th time.
Seriously,  it has been that many times 
maybe even more.  It is like this girl has
a bulleyes on her car!!
Fortunately,  he just tapped her, cause
he was in a big Ford F-10.  Hate to think
if he had been going any rate of speed
what could have happened.
Thank the Lord for his protection.
*
#10
I am thankful
for all the rain we have been getting
 this week.  We have been praying for a dear 
 friend  who lives in an area where the water is
 terribly expensive and her lawn is dying from 
lack of water,  and they are on water restrictions
 and she could get a ticket if she waters more.
She is no longer married,  and has just been 
thru such a horrible time in the last 4 years, and
 has redone that area of her yard at least 3 times
 now, and it has been doing so well, up until now.
Can't imagine how frustrated she must be.
  Yea! It is getting ready to pour again,  I can 
hear it blowing and see the dark clouds.  
Actually it is now pouring,  sure hope it is
 raining at her house too!!
*
#11
I am thankful
for new, fast and easy recipes.  They get my
creative juices flowing and get me in the mood 
to cook,  when I need some inspiration.

We are having one tonight.  You take an egg-
plant and cut it into slices, then marinate it
 in light Italian salad dressing and then grill
them. 
 Since it is still raining I will probably  need to
roast mine in the oven,  but I have decided I will 
add some panko crumbs to the top and broil
 them.  Am hoping for the taste of eggplant
parm,  since I will be serving it with 
spaghetti pie!  Ummm I can hardly wait.
I will let you know how it turns out!!
*
#12
I am thankful
 that the police have finally got the guy in
custody that was involved in the disappearance 
of that 18 yrs old, christian girl from
 Alabama, that was in Aruba for her grad trip, 
Natalie Holloway.  Maybe we will
 soon see justice served!!  
*
Well Folks,  that would be my list
for this week.
*
Hope you have a great Friday!

Blessings and Hugs,
Nellie

  1. I am so thankful that Jimmy is getting work and that there are such good feelings between him and his past employer. I am thankful your family is close by and that your car repair was so gentle on your budget. I am thankful that Becky has three other daughters at home while Sam is getting settled in TN. Oh I do so feel the pain for her. It is so hard and I am thankful for her abiding faith in the Savior. She will survive!

    I am thankful that I have most of today to get my Sunday lesson in order. I am thankful for only 25 more days of getting up at 4:00 am. We have been living on Eastern Time for 10 years. I could go on and on about my gratitude to a Father in Heaven that hears and answers our prayers. It is an endless list of blessings for which we should all be thankful!

    Have a great rainy day, Nel! I hope you get everything you pray for today!

    Love, B
