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

#9

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

Random Quotes Tuesday

 

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.

Thankful Thursday October 8, 2026, and our Fall living room Part 2

 

 

“He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills.” 

 Psalm 147:8

October Greetings Sweet Friends,

Helloooo,

 Hope your week has been a good one!! 

 Our's was good.

Not happy to see that storm out in the gulf

 tho.....praying it blows out before it can make

 landfall.  Just saw on facebook that my late

 brother's wife is right in the path of it, so now 

we are hoping and praying even more, that it 

blows out. It has been such a awesome

 Hurricane Season for our country this year, 

 I really want to see that continue as it is

 really miraculous, I think anyway!!

Pictures today are Part 2 of our

                                                                 Fall living room. 

                                                            

                                                              

So On with my Thankfuls.............

#1

Thankful to spend time with lil darling again, 

and we made PumpkinBread from a recipe

 she got from one of her friend's Mom. We 

really had a lot of laughs as her Grammy

is so out of practice with baking, as I have

never been a great baker to begin with, now, 

cooking that is different.  lol  We had 

a lot of laughs as we found out that 

Grammy really needs to clean out her 

spice cabinet.....lol  We were looking

for baking powder and did find a can

that was unopened but it was wayyyy

out of date,  but thanks to google or

whoever search, we found we could use 

baking soda and lemon juice. Truly not sure

 if it worked or not....as pumpkin bread isn't

usually a real riser most of the time.

Anyway, we had fun doing it and we all

 liked it, so that is all that mattered. lol

#2

Thankful we got pizza for dinner (as I

was worn out after the pumpkin bread

/Science experiment. lol)

and nice we all had din din together.

#3

Thankful for phones with camera's, they

are not only fun they are so helpful and

also make you feel closer to your loved

ones as well.  Our Daughter has been

sending us photos as her house is pro-

gressing, and we are so enjoying it and

it is fun for her to show us just not tell

us. Just like living life together as best we

can.....love that........course we would 

much rather see in person, but that is

just not possible right now.

#4

Thankful that because of my hubby, our

whole family is pretty techy, and if we get

stuck guess who helps us all....Course, he

 sorta loves being indispensable!!  lol

I often wonder what other Sr. Citizens do,

 that don't have anyone techy like that around.

Just 15 yrs. or so ago, I was terrified of

the computer, and hubby worked as an engr.

and used computers all the time, and one day, 

the Lord just changed all that, in a moment.

It was truly miraculous!!

#5

Thankful for how the Lord brings to mind

things from the past that we have sort of

forgotten about, but when remembered

bring encouragement to us.  That is what

just happened to me, with telling you about

my #4 Thankful. As it is something good

that was born out of an ongoing difficult 

time in my life, and the Lord has used it

to help me be content and happy, and also

to be a blessing to others.  God just never

ceases to amaze me with His goodness, 

even when we don't see or know the full

picture of what is going on...........

He truly does work all things together for

the good of those who love Him, and are

called according to His purposes.

As Romans 8:28 says.

#6

Thankful the Lord took care of a problem

I was having last night, that was making

my face and gums sore like I had a tooth

that was going bad. I was thinking it might

be sinus issues, but I wasn't having trouble

breathing or having a headache, which 

would be typical. I was sort of afraid

to sleep on that side, but during the night

decided to do it, cause it was hurting, so

did so with trepidation, but not too long

after my face stopped hurting and my

nose started running, and have been fine

all day, so the Lord answered our prayer,

 and guess it was sinus issues.

Quite happy about that.....

#7

Thankful that lil darling did some painting

over the weekend.  She painted some wooden

boxes that could be jewelry boxes, and they

came out so well.  I think she has some

serious talent going on.

#8

Thankful for a new grocery store

 discovery we learned about from our

Son. Publix Grocery Stores now have

home made popcorn in the Deli, one

is made with Coconut Oil and it is

absolutely delicious. Very Much like

"Lesser Evil" Popcorn, with a tad

more salt. It is just in a clear plastic

bag and is at a more reduced price.

Who couldn't love that!!  lol

#9

Thankful hubby somehow found "Tool Time,"

I think on Roku. We are running out of 

good clean shows to watch, and it is still

as funny as it was back then.  In case

 You don't remember "Tim the Tool Man

Taylor", with his wife and 3 kids, and

the neighbor next door that you could 

only see half his face.  lol

#10

Thankful hubby got his new dental crowns

 today and all went well.......one more thing

off the list........

#11

Thankful we are making it a Dunkin Day,

as we call it, breakfast from Dunkin and

MacDonalds (for a caramel frappe -

my way of getting coffee)  lol

 As we are going down to

our Son's to finish stripping wallpaper in

lil darlings bathroom. Hopefully one more

day will do it, then we can move on to

painting.  I tell you removing wallpaper 

is tedious work!  lol

#12

Thankful that our Daughter's reno is

continuing to go well, and they got all

the new windows in yesterday, so they are

 under roof and a bit more enclosed now.

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

That's it for Cozy Place this week.

Blessed that you were able to come by,

and

Have a lovely rest of the week.

Love, Hugs, and

2nd week of October Blessings,

Nellie

Monday Manna

Hello Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you well and having a good day.

I just saw something on facebook that was so

precious, and a great reminder for us all, and

that it has sort of been on my mind a bit lately

from a few things I have witnessed.

and that is..............

taking people we love for granted and just

thinking they will always be there, and that

our lives are so full of have to's that we can't

possibly take a break from what we have to 

do, and take time to talk to them, or visit

with them. We have to watch ourselves that

we don't think all these to do's are the most

important things in life......cause honestly,

they are not.....the most important things

in life are people and especially the people

we profess to love. Sometimes we can treat

total strangers better than we treat those

we love or live with, even.  Many times I

have to remind myself when I get doing a

project or something I really like to do and

someone calls or texts and I don't want

to be bothered at that moment, that people

are the only thing we are gonna take to

heaven with us.

I know, I know, there are those that are

 drainer's amongst us, that make us feel

like someone breathed the breath of oppression

on us after we talk to them.  Some years ago,

I had quite a number of those folks that would

call me, and my Wonderful compassionate 

Pastor gave me some great advice on how to 

deal with that and hopefully get them to the

person who can really help them. Take the call, 

give them 5 mins., then say you have to go, but

 let me pray for you....then pray for them which 

will point them to God, and get off the phone 

because your own spirit can only take so much

 of that.

With that said,

What I am really talking about here is those

that love us, and not taking even a short time

 to converse with them, or even taking the time

 to call them or constantly putting them on the

 back burner of your life, cause one day they

 might be gone, sooner than you think, and 

we might wish we could hear their voice 

one more time.....

Wish I could share that post I saw with

you, it was someone speaking from experience,

and it was sad and makes you shed a few

tears of what not to do and why.

I was able to find the post after all.

So click here to read it

or copy and paste it yourself

https://www.instagram.com/p/Dd3sPylE31a/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&stkn=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Wasn't wanting to make you cry, just 

wanting to make you think with your

"Heart" and not your "To Do list" or a

"nonchalant, not important attitude."

Blessings,

Love you guys.
