Good Afternoon Sweet Darlings,

*

Hope your day is going well, mine is going

great this far. I am beginning to move the

furniture around and start into my Fall

transformation process! Oh What Fun!

*

Summer is starting to Fade.......................

at least in the house.

Technically we have 2 1/2 more weeks,

but I like to be able to enjoy 3 months worth

of Fall decor. So I have started a lil earlier

the last few years!

Well, on to Thankful Thursday

#1

I am thankful that I am in good enough

shape to be able to move the furniture

around by myself, course, this is the

only room I can do it in really, because

it slides easily on the floor, but still it

is good to be in good shape.

Which brings me to

#2

I am thankful for that 45 mins. workout

we just did, cause in Nov. it will be 4 years we have been

doing 2 and 1/2 hrs. worth every week. It has taken

my husband off the prediabetic list and also has helped him

recover from bypass surgery 4 yrs. ago, and kept him trim

and with good bloodwork, Now that is a real praise.

And it has also kept me in good shape with good

bloodwork as well.

Having good health is always a praise!

#3

For the sunshine today!!

However fleeting it was, it only lasted till around

2 p.m., but hey, it's the first time I have seen it

smilin on us this week, and it felt good!!

#4

That my son is enjoying his new job so much,

and he got his first paycheck last Friday.

He is also dating a very nice young lady.

We have met her once already and she

seems very lovely!!

#5

That we are having the opportunity

to teach this quarter in Sunday School.

We are teaching on a book called

"Lost in the Middle" and the grace of

God, I think everybody should read

this book, especially if you are in midlife.

It is definitely one of the best books we

have ever read, and it has really given

us a great perspective on what God is up

to in our lives. Not that we didn't know it

but Paul David Tripp just brings so many

interesting thoughts and incites to it!

We have been thru many situations

in the last 8 years, the flooded house

was just one of them. So it has done

our heart good.

So guess that would bring me to

#6

I am eternally grateful for the above

book I just talked about.

#7

For the opportunity to share our story

about our house flooding. It has brought

up all sorts of great memories and gratitude

to my heart, for my Lord this week.

He is truly Awesome!!

#8

For this great excitement and anticipation

I have about Fall! Don't know what it is

but I get it every year, and I just love it

It is like such a big thrill to me, am I wierd

or what???

# 9

That I think we are gonna be able to

mow our yard today, finally!!

Nice & Soggy that it is!

#10

Hubby and I made some progress

on my daughters wall hanging I am

making. He helped me cut the foam

core last night, and I got the scrapbook

paper attached to each piece, now it is a matter

of assembling it. I had hangers for the back,

and moved them out of the closet when Scott

moved back in, and now I can't find them.

Really need to put them on before I assemble it,

we went to Michaels last weekend to get more hangers,

and they don't have them anymore, so have to find a plan B.

#11

Is for you...........

and that you come by to visit often,

and leave nice comments.

I so appreciate the friendship I have

made with many of you.
