Hello Sweet Encouragers

*

Welcome to Thankful Thursday!

and a taste of Spring for all of you who have

Winter Fever!!

*

Hope the week has been a good one,

thus far!

*

Mine has been much better than I anticipated

actually,  cause I thought I would miss my

lil grandaughter dog, Joey much more than I have.

So that would be my

 #1

thing that I am thankful for.

God is good!

*

#2

I am thankful that I have had a lot to keep

me busy this week,  so that is probably

another reason for number one.

#3

I am thankful for

what a sweet and thoughtful husband I have 

and for the sweet things he said about me yesterday

on my Wed. blog,  and for these lovely flowers in my 

header picture that he brought me.  He knows how

much I love flowers and how I  like to play florist!

#4

I am thankful that 

I have my guest room back to normal and almost 

guest ready!  Still have a few things I want to do

 like get the comforter washed.  I need to go

 to a laudromat to do it tho. So maybe next

week I will get that accomplished.

#5

I am thankful that

 Becky over at "Holiday in the Sun" is doing so

 well, altho she is still  in the healing process. 

 Got to spend some time talking with her

for awhile yesterday, we had a nice chat

but she gets tired easily still, 

 understandable, of course.

#6

I am thankful that

Jessica over at "Jewels for the Journey" is also

coming along pretty well.  Saw her for a few

minutes on Tuesday and she looked and

 sounded wonderful!  But she has quite a long

recovery time left as well,  so don't forget

to continue to pray for both of them.

#7

I am thankful and excited that

we get to go over to see Scott's new apt.

tonight, and of course, get to see him and Joey!

Just talked to Dee a few minutes ago,  so we

might go by and see her as well,  unless Scott

invites her over too!

#8 

I am thankful that 

Scott's  move went very smoothly,  and all his

furniture arrived on time,  and that his girl

friend really helped him so much.

She is a real sweetie!

#9

I am thankful that 

Jim and I had a nice evening out last night,

we went to Home Goods store and

looked around, and out to dinner at

Outback steakhouse,

and 

#10

I am thankful that

we ran into an old friend who used to

attend our church years ago,  and she has

 really been thru a horrible time, sort of

similar to Scott,  but she is doing well.

And she is thinking about coming back

to our church,  so we encouraged her to do

that,  and we are very excited about it.

 #11

I am thankful that

I found a pretty bowl to match my new

dishes at Home Goods,  and it was

only $8.00.  I had seen one at Pier One

but it was much smaller and on sale

for $11.00.  So I really got a good

deal and I really like it and it matches

very well.

*

There's my new bowl,  Isn't she pretty!!

Don't know what it is about white dishes

but they just make my heart sing!  lol

*

Those are real and yummy grapes.  I have

found if I leave fruit like grapes or cherries

out on the counter we will munch on those

instead of other stuff.

Course, this is on the table but it seems

to be working as well,  we have eaten

quit a few grapes today and they are

really good for you!

*

The lilies are finally starting to open!

*

#12

I am thankful for God's continued goodness

 to me and my family.  It is so good to know

that He loves me and is always there any

time of the day or night.  

*

Well,  that's my thankful list.

*

What are you thankful for today.

*

Blessings and Hugs Sweet Peas,

Nellie
