Welcome to Thankful Thursday - October 15, 2009

Hello Sweet Friends,

*

How has your day been going??  Mine has been slow but good!!

We had a lil rain today,  that is because a cool front is coming thru

tomorrow!!  We are in heaven just thinking about it!!

We now think we might have temps in the 50's!!  Sorry I think I

might have told you that yesterday!!  You can't tell I am excited

or anything,  can you???

*

Can't believe it is Thursday already,  and that we are already

half way through October.  Is time flying as fast for you as it is

for me???  I feel like I blink and the day is gone practically.

*

Only 70 shopping days till Christmas!! 

*

 Can you imagine that,  and I just love Christmas,

 but it just seems to be coming soooooo soon!!

*

 Guess I had better start putting

on my thinking cap about creative gift giving again!

It is truly a joy tho, I love all the festivities of Fall and

Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I don't start  decorating

 for Christmas till the day after Thanksgiving,

but I do like to get most of my shopping done before

Thanksgiving if possible.  Then all I have to deal with

is decorating and cooking and wrapping,  and

that is enough in and of itself..

*

Guess I had better hush up about all my deep

thinking (lol) today and get on with Thankful

Thursday................

#1

*

I am thankful for the fun time I had with my daughter on Monday

when I went to visit she and Rosie.

*

#2

I am thankful that we finally got her wall hangings put together

and on her wall,  and that her dad was able to hang her

shelf,  and we finally finished her bedroom decorating.

It looks great and she is very happy with it.

I forgot to take the camera,  so the next time I go I will

try and get some pics to show you.

#3

I am thankful that a young Mom,s with 3 children has realized

she has addiction problem and is going into rehab as soon

as they can find a place for her.  She is the daughter of a

old and dear friend.  So we are all rejoicing at this step.
If you should feel led please pray the rehab center will
be able to take her right away cause there is a waiting
list,  and she really needs to be there.

#4

I am thankful that both my children are dating people

we really like and love.  That is truly a Joy!!

*

#5

I am thankful that we are hearing feedback from

some of our Sunday Schools students about how this

class is impacting their lives.  That is always a joy

for teachers to hear cause that is why we do what

we do,  not to hear about it,  but to impact lives

for the better!!  

*

#6

I am thankful we got all our bushes and flowers

cut back yesterday. 

*

#7

I am thankful we will be doing some more grouting

this weekend,  Lord willing!!

*

#8

I am thankful I was able to come up with the

Country French Chicken recipe,  we have missed

it in our menus for years now.

*

#9

I am so thankful for God's Amazing Grace and

Peace in my life.  What a friend we have in Jesus!

*

#10

I am thankful that a young marine, that is 25 years old
is home safe and sound from Iraq.  We saw him for

the first time last Sunday,  and he looks amazing

and so happy.  We love him very much and it

just blessed our hearts to see him looking so well

and looking so happy. He is really growing up!!

*

#11

I am thankful that there are still tons and tons of

young men and women in uniform who are faithfully

loving and protecting our country,  no matter what

political correctness has to say,  they are staying

their post and proud to do it!!

God Bless them one and all.

We love you and we appreciate your service to

your country very very much!

*

Well,  guess I better stop for today folks.

*

Hope I struck a chord with you, and maybe you

will let me know what you are thankful for as well.

*

*

Have a Great Evening!!

Love,  Blessings and Hugs,

Nellie
