Scripture Sunday

 

Measuring against this truth

 really makes us know just how

 incredibly Blessed we really are.

Enjoy!

So....on with my Thankfuls....

#1

Thankful we got our curtains all

steamed and adjusted and we love them.

such a nice change for the New Year.

#2

Thankful for 2 pairs of new flannel

jamies as Christmas gifts. So enjoying

them in this cold weather.

#3

Thankful for these 

new cookies 

we found at Aldi grocery store. 

 They are delicious and love that they'

are made with dark chocolate rather

 than milk chocolate like others.

They are also a dollar or two less

than some others we were buying 

at Publix.

#4

Thankful for some interesting things the

 Lord has been revealing to me

about my earlier life, and are hindering my

 life still, but shouldn't be any longer.

Another good thing that has come out 

of this time of rest and recooperation.

#5

Thankful for how the Lord will sometimes

confirm something He might be leading

us to do or say.  Had that experience

this week with another blogger.

#6

Thankful that I have most of my Christmas

 decor down, but got to get the ornaments

off the tree yet, and  need to pack it away. 

Note: Ornaments off tree

#7

Thankful my trip back to the Chiropractor

 went well. It was 3 weeks since I have

been there, so hopefully next time it will

 be a month. Not that I don't like the

Chiropractor cause I really do, so will

be sad not to see them, but happy

that I don't need to see them.

#8

Thankful we were able to go for a late

lunch at Sonny's. Had the place all to

 ourselves pretty much and the food was

 very good, and nice to get out of the

 house for a lil bit.

#9

Thankful my Daughter found me some

 wedge heeled shoes online at DSW shoes. 

So I ordered them this morning and hope

 they will work.

I hope this is only temporary, but think

this could be the end of my days of

 wearing even 3" heels are over.

Tried to wear them to church week

 before last and got this shooting pain

in the middle of my lower back, which

was totally unexpected and scary.

The wedge heels are only 1 and 3/4".

So hoping they work.....cause if not, I am

 going to be hemming all my dress clothes.

dresses and pants cause there length

is for 3" heels, and with flats the 

dresses are below my knee and pants

drag the ground.  So will see.....

Don't know about you,  but it's not all

that easy to find new clothing either.

Have had lots of back issues over the

years, but never had this problem before.

#10

Thankful for a heart warming movie we

 watched last night.  It was called

"Instant Nanny" and it was on Up faith and

 family. Love those sort of movies.

#11

Thankful to get to spend a lil time with

 our son and lil darling for awhile today.

#12

Thankful for pizza from Lil Caesars,

 it was really good cause we haven't 

had it in awhile.

Well, that's it for Cozy Place

 this week.

Happy you could join us today.

Have a great Friday

and

Wonderful Weekend,

Love, Hugs and

End of January Blessings,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday January 15, 2026, and pictures of all things Winter

 

As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter,

day and night will never cease.”
Genesis 8:22 NIV

Hello Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you well

and Cozy Warm.  We are

experiencing Winter days

here in Florida, this time

it will last a week, So we

can enjoy that knowing we

will get a break soon.

Know some of you might not

be that blessed, and are

praying for Spring.  I don't

blame you, if I lived up north

those would be my prayers

as well.  

Pictures today are of 

All things Winter compliments

of Pixabay.

On with my Thankfuls

#1

Thankful for a new read thru the Bible book, that our previous

Pastor gave to anyone who wanted them as a departing gift.

We were already reading

 another one, at the time we

rec'd it, so wanted to finish

that one, so started the new 

one later than everyone else

 but we are really enjoying it.

So Thanks Pastor Brad

#2

Thankful for what they call

a Tens unit, that puts off 

electrical impluse's that cause

the pain to go away temporarily

and helps with healing of my sciatica and back. Have been

using it quite a bit as it

 Works pretty well.

#3

thankful for a new probiotic

I started taking which seems

to be helping my IBS issues.

course, this is just one thing

among many many things that

we have tried.

Who knows, this could be the

one that works..... for good.

Everything seems to work

at first, and it works until

well.......it doesn't.

#4

thankful that while I was 

ordering something else on

Amazon, these curtains that I

had ordered back in Oct. for

our Anniversary,  that were

out of stock, all of a sudden

popped up, so I reordered 

them and they were even less

than before, which is always great. so got them last week,

and we put them on both 

windows, and we like them, 

but still need to steam and adjust them tomorrow, as I had to

stop for the day.  they are

the same color, but a nice 

change.....to buffalo Check

So excited to see finished

product .

Note: Didn't get to finish

cause we decided to go out

instead, needed a house break. 

#5

Thankful for this neat heating

pad that we have that I had

completely forgotten about,

Happened to find it,  so got

it out and used it, and it was

perfect.  Fits on my shoulders

like a cape and goes up around

my neck.  Feels like heaven!!  lol

#6

Thankful I am getting the bug

to get The Christmas things

down and start looking more

like Winter in here. took a

few things down today. lol

                       #7

Thankful that I have moved

2 Chiro visits till next week,

since my back and sciatica

are doing much better.

Hopefully my IBS will be

more under control then too.

#8

Thankful for the Presidential

Pray team that sends out a

list of things to be prayed

for daily for our country.

It is a reminder everyday,

and makes it easy and quick

 to pray!  It is usually one of

 the first things I try to do

 every morning.

It is so important for us to

be praying for our country

and our government and 

our President and his 

Administration, like them or

not....it is our duty to our

country, and a biblical call

 in 1 Timothy 2:1-2.

If you see all that is happening

in our country and world and

feel a bit helpless, here is a

great thing you can do!!

remember to Pray join

chat with my favorite and only Daughter today.  lol

It always cheers me up....

Thankful for throws, warm

cozy blankets and flannel

pajamas, as we got some

 more cold weather here

 in Florida.  Love it....

#11

Thankful to get out of the

house today, even if it was 

just to run errands.  

Got what we needed, 

and then....

#12

Thankful for a nice din din

at Olive Garden cause they

have soup, and it is cold out,

so it was a lovely way to 

end our time out.

Thankful Thursday January 8, 2026, and Winter Tables from the past

For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—

1 Corinthians 14:33 NIV

Hello Sweet Friends,

So how are you liking the New Year so far???

Better than me I hope.  As my back situation seems to be getting

better I have a new fun situation that I have had my whole life,

but as I have gotten older it has just gotten worse, and had been

fine for 2 months during my

 back situation, (which I am extremely grateful for) but 

it has now decided to rear it's ugly head once again!

Pictures today are of Winter Tables from the past

here at Cozy Place mainly, because I couldn't think

of anything else to do.........lol

and I know yall like pictures

and it could be helpful if

you just want to do a nice

or fun table for Winter.

So on with my Thankfuls

friend and then my Daughter,  well, my girl cup is full

Thankful for President Trump

and his wife from Venezuela.

Yay for Freedom for the

Venezuelan people!!

 #3

Thankful for a frozen pizza.

Neither of us are feeling

good, colds or a virus, so

 what we had planned didn't

sound good, so this pizza did

the trick.  YAY

#4

Thankful once again that our church live streams our church

service. Our New Lead Pastor

had lots of changes to tell us

about today, so was so happy

we didn't have to miss that.

#5

Thankful for random conversations with strangers

that teach us things we did'nt

know before.  When I was

getting my last massage a

few weeks ago, I was talking 

to the lady who was born in

Cuba, and she came to the U.S.

when she was 24 yrs. old, and

is now probably in her 50's.

She said until she came here

she never knew of Thanksgving,

Christmas, Halloween, Easter

or any holidays for that matter.

I was flabbergasted.....I had never

heard that before or even

thought about it, but that is

what it is like to live in these

Socialist and communist countries. I have thought

about that conversation many

times since, what that must

have been like for her when

she came to live here in the

United States. Culture Shock

for sure, but in a good way.

#6

Thankful for a new neighbor

that we aquired in 2025,

She is from Equador and

just the sweetest gal, she

and her hubby both, and they

are about our kids ages.

We were supposed to get 

together with them after

New Years, so text her to let

her know we were sick, and

that when we were better

we still wanted to get together

with them, so last night she

brought us some chicken soup

and some Greek Lasagna,

calle Moussaka (I think it is)

Will be trying it today, as we

had already eaten last night.

Thought that was just so 

sweet and thoughtful of her.

#7

Thankful for a lil book on

our coffee table called

"God Winks" Christmas stories.

we have read it before but

have been rereading the 

stories and it's such an

encouraging book about 

what we would call coincidences.

#8

Thankful that we read in the

God winks book, that they

actually have God Wink 

Christmas movies, so we found

them on Amazon, and watched

one, and we loved it.  True

stories, and we will probably

watch them all.

#9

Thankful I finally got started

on doing a clean out on lil

darling cubicles I have in our

bedroom.  We haven't used

much out of there in a few

years now, so decided it is time,

A lil bit sad, as I remember all

the fun we used to have with

those toys, but she is growing

up, so time to let go of that.

Probably a few years late

already.....lol

and I am gonna save some of

her favorite toys in my hope

chest, just in case she might

want them for her kiddos

one day!!  

#10

Thankful for all the sweet

memories it brought back,

and thankful for all the

new memories we have and

will continue to have with her.

#11

Thankful and hopeful for 

what I am believeing to be 

another good sign of my

back healing. Haven't had

any sciatica for about a week,

 but all of a sudden started

getting this mild tingling

sensation in the front of

my bad leg all of a sudden,

Felt maybe it was the last

wave of goodbye to this nerve

situation. Looked on line and

they did say that is a possibility

and that I should do what I

have been doing all along but

that I have been doing less of

as I have gotten better.

So interesting and hope we

are right!!!

#12

Thankful to know I am in the

Lord's hand, and even when I

don't know what is going on,

He does........but have to confess

it is hard to remember that

at times.

Note:  Amazing how when we

 feel discouraged the Lord can change things in just a day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well...........

That's it for Cozy Place

this week.  This is the 13th

edition of the pinched nerve

situation, and hopefully the

last......

Glad you came by 

and

Hope you have 

a delightful week.

Love, Hugs and

Early January Blessings,

Nellie
