Monday Manna - Stories of God's goodness #2

 

Hello and Good Morning

Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you well and happy!!

Some years back I had started a series and called it stories of God's goodness,

but somehow got sidetracked and

never got back to it.

Yesterday I heard a Pastor telling a story about an accident that he almost had, if it had not been for God's intervention.

So his story reminded me of one of

 my own stories that was similar, so felt the Lord would have me share it with you.  It was some years ago but

I clearly remember it.......

I was less than 10 mins. away from

home, on the way back from the

grocery shopping, and was going 10 miles an hour more, than I should have been..... when this lady pulls out in front of me in a small car, I was 

driving our van.  When I saw her

I knew I was gonna hit her right

in her drivers side door, so I cried

 out Lord, help me, cause I knew she was gonna get hurt.  There were cars

coming towards us in the other

lane, so I knew I couldn't swerve

 to the left, or it would be ahead on collision, and all of a sudden I felt

 something just yank my steering 

wheel to the left, an all of a sudden

I found myself in someone front

yard, just missing a large brick mailbox. It took me a few seconds

to try and figure out what just happened, then I stepped out of the van and my legs were like jelly, and the other lady had backed up to the road she came out of, and I walked

over to see if she was okay and

thankfully she was. So I was just

in awe of what had just happened

to say the least.

It all happened so quickly and

I have no idea what happened to those other cars, and I know it had to be an angel that yanked my steering

wheel, cause I knew I couldn't go to the left or there would be a head on collision, so I knew it could only be that the Lord had intervened and

saved us for sure.  He is amazing!

Have a great day,

Love and Hugs,

Nellie

On with my Thankfuls....

#1

Thankful our Daughter and

Son-in-law got back from

their getaway safe and sound

and had a great time celebrating

their 15th Anniversary.

#2

Thankful to get to talk to her

after almost a week.  lol

#3

Thankful to get to have dinner

and see our Son and Lil darling

when they all got back from her

last volleyball game of the season.

#4

Thankful that she has really

enjoyed Volleyball, and has gotten

very good at it as well.

#5

Thankful that Cracker Barrel

has family meals for 5 people

and they are very good.

#6

thankful for a long facetime

call with my Daugter. That

always cheers me up. We needed

to see each others face, as we 

are missing each other.

Also, got a lil tour of the new

things they are doing in the house.

#7

Thankful for a lovely cool 

70 degree day with our windows

and french doors open inviting

the outside in, and watching some

leaves float by in the sunshine.

Simply Delightful....

#8

Thankful the lord made Seasons,

as we are basking in the delight

of the 62 degree weather this

morning, course it will be 75

as the day goes on, but  Still wonderful after

the long hot summer. So cool

to see some leaves dropping

here and there, and now it

is really enjoyable to have

pumpkins cookies and coffee

and pumpkin everything.  lol

#9

Thankful to have a fairly long

phone conversation with my

long time friend that had the

esophageal problem some 

months ago.  She sounds good

but she is still rehabing with

her walking,  but has a great

attitude.

#10

Thankful for our first pot

of chili for the season. We are

in full on Fall Season right now,

cause we know it will only last

so long,  and I am enjoying it to pieces.  lol

#11

Thankful to get out and work

in the yard some.  May favorite

time of year to do that.  So it

was calling to me.  Amazing 

how much you can accomplish

in an hour with both of us

working out there. 

#12

Thankful for sweet memories!

As we were working in the yard

hubby was winding up some grape

vine and I said that would make

a nice wreath, which reminded

me of a long time friend(the

 same one I talked to this week) that in our younger years, we

used to go grapevine hunting

and make our own wreaths to

decorate and sell. We used to

work with a lot of other friends

and do a Fall Open House to sell

our wares.  So much fun and such

a great time in life.  

That's all for Cozy Place

this week.

Thanks for stoppin by

and

Have a Joy filled week!!

Love, Hugs ad

Mid October Blessings,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday October 15, 2026, Fall in the kitchen

 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Matthew 6:33 NIV

Welcome to  Thankful Thursday Sweet Friends...........

Hope you have had lots of reasons

to be thankful this week.  It's

been a good week here with lots

of sunshine and less rain.  lol

Pictures today are of our

Fall Kitchen.  Didn't decorate

quite as much in there.

So on with my Thankfuls

#1

thankful to get to spend a lil

unexpected time with lil darling.

#2

Thankful that hubby is having an opportunity to minister to a young man who recently lost his Dad and is having a very rough time of it.

#3

Thankful for Sunshine, Vit D, Serotonin and breezes to enjoy it.  Still 90 degrees out there, but have had lots of rain this week, so needed that Sunshine, but can't take it for too long.........lol

#4

Thankful that sweet potato pancakes came across my radar screen this morning, and altho I didn't think I had what I needed

 to make them, I remembered

I did have some pumpkin leftover

that needed to be used, and just

enough bisquick to make the batter so we made Pumpkin  pancakes instead,

and they were very good, with

good ole Mrs. Buttersworth

syrup and pecans.  Yum!

Just what I hoped for......lol

#5

Thankful we have our Nov 3rd ballots in the mail already.

They notify us when they receive

them, or we can also call and

check as well.

This is a very important election, so be sure you vote any way 

that you can...

Honestly of course.  lol

#6

Thankful we watched the K-Love Awards tonight,  we watched it around the first of the year 

and it was just so good, and so uplifting we decided to watch

 it again. Good decision!

#7

Thankful that today was the one year anniversary of when I had the pinched nerve last year, and had to go to the chiropractors using a walker.  So happy I was

off the walker within a few

weeks, and my back has gotten

better and better, still not

perfect but so much better.

Now if my intestinal problems

will just track  with my back

that would be great, I will be 

able to go back to church.  We pray for that every night and

 we know the Lord is able, as he

has healed me of so many issues

emotionally and physically over

the years.

#8

Thankful for a blog I think I have been following, for as long as I have been blogging, which is for about 17 +years now. It is called "On Sutton Place"  

Ann is very creative lady and has

such a lovely blog, with lots of

great ideas about decorating and

also has beautiful free printables for those who follow her, also she shares lots of recipes. Just a lovely blog, I think you would enjoy.  Click here

Thankful that Our Daughter

and Son-in-love are celebrating

their 15th Anniversary this week,

and have taken a lil getaway trip

to celebrate.

#10

Thankful I made a birthday

card for a friend today.

It's been awhile since I have

made many,  (cause I get 

engrossed and tend to sit

 too long, which is not great

for  my  back. Did one for the

kids Anniversary too, a few

weeks ago, but printed and

mailed it today, and will send

one of our flip-cards to

them on their day since they

will be away.

#11

Thankful for the aroma of freshly mowed grass, and the

way the sunlight filters thru

 our back yard trees as the sun

is getting ready to set.  Delights!

#12

Thankful we did more wall paper

stripping in lil darlings bath

room.  Was hoping to finish that

today, but unfortunately not.

Hopefully just one more day

and it will be time for paint.

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

Well....that's it for Cozy

place this week.

Hope you had a good week

and

happy you could drop by.

Love, Hugs, and 

Mid-October Blessings,

Nellie

God is a friend of silence.

Trees, flowers, grass grow in silence.

See the stars, moon and sun

how they move in silence.

Reminds me of the scripture verse

"Be still and know that I am God".

and

I think He does some of His

best work on us, in silence.

Have a great day!
