Thankful Thursday October 29, 2026, and pictures of all things orange

 

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.    

 Galatians 6:9 NIV

Fall Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope your week has been a good

one.  Ours has been. We have

warmed up some this week,

much to our dismay....lol

but that's the way our Fall

weather goes here in florida.

Todays pictures are of all

things that are Orange.

So..... on with my Thankfuls

#1

Thankful and can you hear us singing the "Hallelujah Chorus"

 as we finally finished the wall paper stripping in lil darlings bathroom. Now we can finally move head with getting it painted. It was truly a labor of Love. lol 

#2

Thankful that I got to spend the better part of the day visiting with a dear friend.  Always so enjoyable!  Thanks Becky

for coming.

#3

Thankful for an opportunity

to bless someone and make their

day, and it truly blessed our

day as well. It really is more blessed to give than to receive.

 As Acts 20:35 says!

the Lords way of doing things

is just so opposite of what we

typically think.

#4

Thankful for Pastor Allen Jackson, a Pastor in Tennessee,

that we watch on You tube

He is excellent and so down to

earth, and definitely preaches

the word of god.  We love listening to him.

#5

thankful for a comedian that

 we have seen on dry bar comedy

 tonight saw on "Focus on 

the family".  He is really funny

and has very clean humor.

His name is Kenn Kington.

Watch him here

#6

Thankful for these small 

battery operated lamps we got

about 6 mos. or so ago. They are

so cute and I love that if I get

up during the night I can use one

of them rather than turning on

our normal lights which are of

course, much brighter.  they make

it just seem so cozy if you are 

reading, sitting or eating!! 

#7

Thankful for a nice long phone chat with another long time friend yesterday.  We have been texting, but so much nicer to actually get some details on things, and to catch up.

#8

Thankful for a pumpkin bundt

cake I made earlier this week,

it has been so good, and we started putting apple butter

 on it which made it even better.

Just one piece left

and Hubby got it!!  😞 lol

#9

Thankful that hubby had the 

idea for us to try and do a

crossword puzzle together,

as neither of us are good at

those, but when he retired our

Daughter had given him a crossword puzzle book, along with some other puzzle books

 as well. So he thought maybe 

with both of us that might work, and guess what?? it did!!

We finished the whole puzzle,

and had a lot of fun doing it.

So there will be more of that

in our future!!  lol

#10

Thankful we had another opportunity to  bless someone this week. Such a 

blessing for both of us and 

especially for me, since I am home

bound, so always looking for an

 opportunity  to be a blessing

 from a distance.

#11

Thankful to be able to see,

talk, hear, eat and walk.

So easy to take all that for granted.

#12

Thankful for the enjoyment of living in our home, and having it decorated for Fall. 

 So enjoying that! 

that's it for Cozy Place 

this week!

Thanks for your visit.

and

Have a lovely week ahead,

Love, Hugs and end

Of October Blessings,

Random Quotes Tuesday

 

Give strength, give thought, give deeds, give wealth,

Give love, give tears, and give thyself.

Give, give, be always giving, 

who gives not... is not living

The more you give, the more you live.

I think it is true.............

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
