Greetings Sweet Friends,
Hope you have had a lovely week. We have, and
we are happy to see we are cooling off a lil bit
here in Florida in the evenings and early morn.
Still in the mid to upper 80's, but we will
take what we can get. lol
Pictures today are more Fall decorating for 2023,
So this is part 3.
So on with my Thankfuls......
#1 and 2
Thankful for a lovely dinner out with our neighbors
at Long Horn steak house, and they even treated us
to dinner.
Thankful for this sweet couple, they are the best
neighbors and friends. They are the ones that
bring us that delicious veggie soup every so often.
Love them so much!!
#3
Thankful for a good school day with lil darling.
She had a lot to do today,... and got everything
done we could and will finish on Monday, we
were all pretty tired at the end of the day. lol
A good tired tho.............
#4
Thankful that when our power went out just
as it was getting dark on Monday evening,
that all our candles that are battery operated
and timed had just turned themselves on,
so we were not in the dark or having to
scramble to find things. Another great
reason for us to love them, they are very
useful as well.
#5
Thankful that we got to work outside again
on Saturday, and pretty much finished up
all our bushes. Just need to do my rose bush
and fertilize it next time.
#6
Thankful for a great day at church, we had a
special guest this morning that we all love.
He usually comes once a year....his name is
Marquis Laughlin, and he does a dramatic
recitation of the scripture. He is doing the
book of "Revelation" this year. It was awesome,
plan to go back to night to see the other half.
He just makes the scriptures come alive for us.
#7
Thankful our friend with the broken kneecap
was able to be at church today and we were
actually able to go out to lunch with them.
It was great and she looks great, still in
recovery tho, but coming along well, but
still having trouble sleeping cause of pain.
It was so nice to be able to spend some
time with them.
Foyer
#8
Thankful to recognize and see a young man
who went to our church growing up 20 yrs.
or more ago. He looks almost the same as
he did as a kid, but is 40 yrs. old now.
He is such a wonderful young man, he
is married and has 4 girls, and he said
they were all angels. He was always a
great kid back then, and seems to be the
same now..... It was lovely to see him.
He was was involved in the youth group
and stuff with our kids as well.
#9
Thankful we had another good school day with
lil darling and we got everything done, even
what was leftover from last Friday, so had
time to have some fun.....she wanted to learn
to make a card, so had time to work on
that too, and she did so well.
#10
Thankful that we got to see a kid who grew
up in our church and who has been acting
as a Youth Pastor in our church for a couple
of years now, as he was finishing up his schooling
......He was Ordained as a Pastor Tuesday night.
We are so proud of he and his wife (she grew
up in our church too), She is our previous
Pastors daughter, and they have 3 lovely
children. It was a really good service, and
a time of fellowship after to congratulate
all the men who were ordained as well,
there were 12 of them, and they will be
at a number of different churches in
the Southeaster district.
Living Rom
#11
Thankful for a great conversation we had
with one of the Pastors who attended from
Tampa. He told us this wonderful testimony
about his neice, who is also the churches
Worship leader. He rec'd a call from her
husband via voice mail) that she was in the
hospital and was in ICU. in very serious
condition, so the first thing he did was call
his prayer team and then went to the hospital.
She had blood in her lungs, her kidneys, stomach
and one other place can't remember, anyway
she was also put on a respirator. it turned out
to be severe Lupus attack. Anyway, she came
out of it and was taken off the respirator,
but they said she would need to be in the
hospital longer and have to have dialysis
the rest of her life, people continued to pray
and the next day she got out of the hospital
and was 100% with no further problems
and no dialysis, and has been fine every since.
Praise the Lord, God is still in the miracle
business..........Love hearing these stories.
So encouraging.....
#12
Thankful that even tho lil darling got up
not feeling well and had very large swollen
tonsils......Mom took her to Dr. and she did
not have Strep throat and even tho her
throat hurt she wasn't feeling bad otherwise.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, that's it for Cozy place this week
Glad you came for a visit
and
Hope you have a Terrific Thursday
and rest of the week.
Love, Hugs and
Mid September Blessings,

Scripture Sunday
Jesus is Eternal..............
This verse makes me think of an old hymn
that says:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in his wonderful face,
and the things of earth shall grow strangely dim in the
light of His glory and grace! So very true.
Have a peaceful day filled full of
eternal perspective,
Hugs, Nellie

Thankful Thursday Sept. 14, 2023, Fall decorating 2023, part 2
Therefore I will praise you, LORD, among the nations;
I will sing the praises of your name.
Psalm 18:49 NIV
Greetings Sweet Friends,
Hope this finds you well and Happy (blessed).
We are well and happy over here as I finally
finished up my Fall decorating yesterday.
Love doing it, but love enjoying it even more!! lol
At least we can feel like it's fall indoors even
when it is so hot and humid outdoors. lol
Hope it is cooler where you are and that you
are able to enjoy Fall outdoors too. It is a bit
more fallish in S Carolina where our daughter
lives....so they are enjoying it!!
Pictures today are of more Fall decorating 2023
at cozy Place.
So on with my Thankfuls......
#1
Thankful that hubby found a new way to put a subscribe
button on my blog, since google decided to remove it
a while back. It's been a few weeks, but I kept forgetting
to tell yall..........so in case you didn't notice, check out
my right side bar at the top, and subscribe or
resubscribe, if you'd like.
#2
Thankful that I am finished with my Fall decorating
so now we can just sit back and enjoy it all! It's a
lot of work, but fun work and I am always happy
that I took the time to do it.
#3
Thankful for my first pot of Beef Stew for the
season, I am a lil earlier than usual, but wanted
to take some to my friend who is recovering,
as she loves beef stew.
#4
Thankful that a friend who lost his wife to
cancer, is now engaged to someone that he
can love again. He's a great guy!!
A little tweaking turned into the image below. lol
#5
Thankful for our Sr. Pastor, and all the years
he has been with us. We got the sad news
yesterday that he has kidney cancer, and they
just found out last Friday, so they don't even
have all the details yet. Praying that the Lord
will be with him and his family through it all
and that of course, he will be healed.
#6
Thankful that our old Youth Pastor just
returned to us this past week, and it was
already in the works for him and our other
Youth Pastor to be working in different
capacities than before, and would be
transitioning our Sr. Pastor into retirement.
Guess that might be sooner than we expected
but we see how the Lord has clearly taken
care of it, so that our Sr. Pastor has that
load taken off his shoulders while he goes
thru this other challenge. If you feel so led
please pray for he and his family. His name
is Pastor Brad.
#7
Thankful for a good school day with lil darling.
We did the normal day and worked on helping
her do a Shoebox diorama about the "Civil War"
and also about Harried Tubman. I learned
some things along the way too. lol
#8
Thankful for battery operated candles. They
enhance my decorating so much, but without
the work of having to light them every nite.
#9
Thankful for cute reels we see on facebook
that make us laugh like this one.
Click here to see it. or type it in yourself,

#10
Thankful for all the yummy fresh peaches I have
been enjoying for months now. One of my fav fruits.
#11
Thankful to get out and work in the yard some
trimming bushes, as it has been awhile. Still
very hot here, so had to be out there at 7:30
to stand it. Was back inside by 8:45, that's
about all we can take....so humid out there.
I do love working in the yard tho, so can't
wait for some cooler weather.
#1`2
Thankful I finally found some pretty fresh
Fall flowers at Publix grocery store. Looked
at Sam's and Walmart and didn't like any
thing they had.....wierd colors, I thought
anyway. Was the last nice finishing touch
to our dining room table. Don't you just
love fresh flowers? They just make
my heart Happy!!
Just a sneak peek until next week. lol
Well, that's it for Cozy Place this week.
Glad to have you here.
Have a Wonderful rest of the week.

Scripture Sunday
Hope the Lord is building your house hold today,
He has been building ours for well over 40 yrs. now.
and when I was reading this I was mostly struck by
the thought that we should be praying for the Lord
to watch over our city.... where we live.
We pray for our family, friends, church family
policemen and first responders (of which we have
a number of in our church) but never thought
to pray for the Lord to watch over our city.
We pray for the
Lord to keep our home and the homes of our
family and friends and neighbors safe, but will
surely add our city and surrounding ones to that
prayer now.
Love God's word and how it is continually
teaching us truth...........and especially for such
a time as this..... that we are living in.....
Blessings and Hugs,
Nellie

Thankful Thursday September 7, 2023, Fall in the Family room 2023
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that
cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship
God acceptably with reverence and awe,
Hebrews 12:28 NIV
Greetings Sweet Friends,
How ya doing today?? Are you starting to
decorate for Fall yet?? or is it still too hot
for you to think about it??
It is 93 degrees here today, but I decided
even tho it's hot, once it turned Sept. that
I would start or else I wouldn't have it
up very long, so wanted to at least have
a few months to enjoy it.
Pictures today are of our newly decorated
Fall look family room. Still working on the
Living and dining room. Feeling more like
Fall inside our house at least! Doing the
happy dance cause I just love the changes.
Nite time
#1
Thankful our Grandson DOG got a good result on his
test today. The nodule has not grown at all.
So Thankful Dee and Jerry did not listen to those
first vets and sought a 2nd opinion.
#2
Thankful we got to visit with our friend again,
and she is doing a lot better. She had her last
home physical therapy and will have to start
going out to get it next week. She also made
dinner for the first time since her accident,
but had to pace herself of course. So she
is coming along.......
#3
Thankful we got to have a sleepover with lil darling
and then had a good breakfast and a good day of schooling, and got finished a lot earlier as she didn't
have as much work as normal, guess do to the Labor Day weekend.
#4
Thankful that all my Coastal/Summer decor is taken down and packed away till next summer.
Now gotta work on the family room and dining room cause we still have Spring/Summer decor in there.
#5
Thankful for our new water filtration device.
It's a pitcher with a filter in it, and you can either
pour the water or use an easy spigot at the bottom
of the pitcher. It is called "ZeroWater" and it
comes with a tester so you can test any water,
and when you test theirs.....it truly has Zero
contaminants. We tested our tap water and
it was like 315, then tested our other filter which
needed changing and it was the same and after
he changed that filter it was still like 265 or
something like that, and then tested the water
in our filtered pitcher and it was 0.....and we
love the water and have been drinking lots
of water cause it tastes so good. Reminds me
of restaurant water at some places, and I always
drink a lot of water at most restaurants,
cause it tastes so good.
It filters out fluoride, chlorine, Lead, and
much much more.
I get no kickbacks or compensation for staying
these things, I am just truly a satisfied customer
and would higly recommend it, and it is not
expensive, which is great too! lol
This was lil darlings idea of putting the
house inside a half pumpkin, on the other
side it just looks like a pumpkin
#6
Thankful for Long Horn Steakhouse, as right
now they seem to have the best food and the
best servers of most places that we go!
Always enjoy going there, and don't think
we have ever had a bad meal there either.
#7
Thankful for Rotisserie Chickens from SAM's,
they are a great price and they come in handy
for making many dishes. Not always easy to
get them these days tho........but happy when
we can...........
#8
Thankful all my Spring/Summer decor is all
packed away till next year.
#9
Thankful that it is beginning to look a little
like Fall in here now. Lil darling is home
from school today cause she was coughing
quite a bit and had been feeling bad, so she
is staying with us today, and we are doing
some school work, but before she started we
got the Fall decor out, and decorated the
mantle. We love doing that together!!
All these pics are the results of Tuesday....
#10
Thankful for all the fun we had today
decorating for Fall. She has so many good
ideas.....and we got a lot done. She is already
a good decorator, so can't wait to see when
she grows up what her home looks like. She
gets it honestly from both sides of the family.
Told hubby I wish I had her the rest of the
week.............lol
#11
Thankful for an unexpected find I never even
thought of............a phone grip/stand for my
cell phone. Have hardly used it yet, but love
it. I am always having trouble with were
to put my hand/fingers on the thing cause
we can't tell exactly where the microphone
is, so my daughter whom I talk to the most
is always saying Mom you must be covering
the microphone cause I can't hear you!
So this new lil change hopefully should
solve that problem!!
Just happened on it at the Dollar tree!
A great find!! PTL
Note: Just talked to my daughter for about
an hour, and no interruptions. Yay!!
#12
Thankful we were able to find 2 T-shirts
for lil darling with hot pink in them to go
with some shorts I had gotten for her.
Almost everything is peach colored now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, that's it for Cozy Place this week.
Thanks for coming by......
Have a Wonderful rest of the week.
Love, Hugs and
Early September Blessings,
Nellie
