Welcome to Thankful Thursday
Sweet Friends,

*

Hope you are having a good day in spite of all the

freezing weather.  We have been inside for most of

the day,  it did near 60 degrees so we went outside

to survey the damage.  Much to my surprise most

things look pretty good considering what they have

been through in the last few days.

*

 I am thankful today

#1

For a nice toasty house and cozy warm bed to

sleep in on these really cold evenings, and I pray

the rescue mission and places that house the

homeless don't have to turn anyone away.

#2

I am thankful

we have had no power outtages,  some people

have been without power in the Orlando area,

and I am sure that is probably happening in other

states as well.   Keep them warm Lord.

Bless their hearts!!

#3

I am thankful

 for warm foods like Chili, Beef Stew,

potato and other soups,  that warm the body and
 soul, not to mention how good they taste and how
good they are for you.

I am thankful

that I know what I am gonna wear to church on Sunday.

I wore my warmest outfit last Sunday, so was wondering!

Got in my closet and started looking around and actually

found an Etta James dress, I totally forgot about that

I bought 2 years ago at Bealls for a song,

 but have never gotten to wear  because we have not

had cold enough weather.  So that was a very

nice surprise,  and I found a couple of other things I can

wear if I need them, that I thought would be way to big,

since I have lost 30 pds. in the last years,  but actually

they  look pretty good!  Guess it is a good thing

to get in there and look around once in awhile.

I also took some things out to get rid of as well,

so organizing at the same time!  Can't beat that!

#5

I am thankful

for my new camera,  and all the fun I have been

having with her.

#6

I am thankful

 that most of the Christmas decorations

are packed and tucked away in the attic as of an

hour ago.  Still have to put away the Christmas dishes.

and put the house back together.

#7

I am thankful

for the way we as people, can inspire one another to

be our best whether spiritually, creatively, physically

or financially.  It's all good!

#8

I am thankful

Dee's car seems to be doing fine,  the temperature

gauge is doing fine,  a good sign!!  lol

#9

I am thankful

that we have the opportunity and pleasure of

praying for others,  and also the blessing of

having others pray for us.

#10

I am thankful

that we all know the truth about Global Warming

Now!!  Obviously,  it is an urban legend!!

Sorry Mr. Gore!!

#11

I am thankful

that God knows everything, and isn't surprised

by anything that happens down here.  I do think

he is plenty grieved by what goes on sometimes,

but surprised,  No!  He is a gentleman and forces

no one to do the right thing because he believes

in free will.  Glad He is in control and not me

cause I would be trying to control it all and

make a reaallllllllyyyy big mess of things!!

*

Well,  hope this finds you thankful inspite

of all the cold weather.  Leave me some

thankful comments,  don't forget I need

encouragement too!!  lol

*

Well Sweet Chilly Friends

*

Hope tomorrow is a warmer day for you and yours,

*

Warm Hugs and Blessings to you all,

Nellie
