Hello Sweet Friends

*

Welcome to Thankful Thursday!

*

So how is your Thursday going???  Well,  I hope!

Hope the weather is glorious wherever you live,

and you are able to really be enjoying this Spring

Weather!

*

It's a beautiful day here and a pretty warm 80 degrees,

must get out there and sit in the sun some.  sounds

Wonderful since I am feeling a lil bit chilly.

*

 My hormones are all over the place these days,  one

 minute I am hot, another I am cold,  but I am definitely 

having more cold spells than hot these days,  which is a

 real praise for me because I used to have hellacious hot

 flashes where I truly thought I might combust one day!!  lol

*

So guess that would be my 

#1

thing I am truly thankful for cause it has been a

long time in coming!!  Too Long,  if you know what I 

mean!! lol  Am hoping the cold spells last once we get to

 those soaring summer temperatures.  lol

I am thankful

 for these absolutely gorgeous hydrangeas hubby

 brought me yesterday, as an early birthday present.

They were just putting them out at Sam's when he was

there,  and he knows how much I love them.  I had 2

others that I tried to grow on the side of the house 

where there is filtered sunlight,  but I really think they

just do not like our soil around here, so he said he

thinks we should just put this one in a large pot,  and

see what happens.  Great Idea Honey!!

#3

I am thankful

that we had the opportunity to counsel a young couple

with marital problems last evening,  and hope we were

able to instill some hope in them.

*

*

#4

I am thankful

that this sweet young couple said they wanted their

marriage to make it very much,  and they were

willing to do whatever it takes,  Now that is good

material the Lord can work with!

Exciting to see what the Lord is gonna do with this,

and happy he is allowing us to be part of the process.

*

#5

I am thankful

for the encouragement that the Lord gives me

about soooooooo many things.  It just blesses

my heart with so much joy.

*

#6

I am thankful

that I didn't have anything I had to get done today,

because the week has been busy, and I feel rather

whipped, so it has been a leisurely morning and

I am so enjoying it.

*

*

#7

I am thankful

for this cute lil critter below,  he is so adorable.  

*

*

He was out in the Sweet gum tree in our front yard.

*

*

I love how he is holding his lil paws and has his

tail pulled in close.  These were both taken on

zoom from inside the house.  Thought they

came out pretty good for being taken thru

the window!  lol

*

#8

I am thankful

that I finally finished my Spring decorating and got

everything put away and most of the house cleaned,

so we can just enjoy it,  and we are!!

So nice to have the refreshing change inside as

well as outside.

*

#9

I am thankful

that I think I have figured out a way to make the 

paint in our bathroom and water closet work out,

if I can just find the right shower curtain,  with just

the right colors!!  I have found several that I like

and that could work,  but want to look more to

make sure.  Don't know about you but I like

to check all my options, cause there is nothing

that annoys me more than buying something

and then going to another store a week later,

and finding something else I love more.

*

#10

I am thankful

that hubby brought a shower curtain home.

He of course,  knew I was looking so he went to

 Target to see what they had and planned to

have it be one of my birthday gifts, but when he

saw  I brought 3 others home, and I wasn't too

crazy about any of them, he decided to show me

 the one he bought.  It has a chocolate brown 

background, with large circles in green, blue and tan,

 and I had actually seen it there before and liked it but

 thought it would be way too dark,  but actually I really

 liked it.  It is very striking,  however,  it is minus one of

 the colors I need , but am still thinking on it....

It is definitely a possibility,  but would then have to

 come up with another idea for a window dressing. 

 just need some time to look around and fritz with it

 some and I will find what I need and make up my

mind,  eventually, just have to be patient! 

 Good things come to those who wait on the Lord!

I am thankful

for life itself!  Life is hard at times,  but life can also

be joyous, exciting, fun, enjoyable, blessed, and

full of the Wonder and Awe of God!

I believe he wants us to enjoy the lives that He has

given to us,  not just endure them!

*

I once heard a saying,  hope I get it right..........

*

Our lives are a gift from God

and what we do with our lives is our gift back to God!

*
And I just remembered another One!

I am thankful
that Rosie, our grandaughter dog is fine.
On Sunday she was acting wierd and her
the whites of her eyes looked horrible,
like blood,  Dee was afraid she might have
had blood pressure problems or something
like a brain tumor or stroke,  cause it just happened
all of a sudden. So Dee had to take her to the vet
at Pet Smart cause that was the only place open, 
and they thought it was an allergy to something.
We were all talking and we were asking her
if she has sprayed hair spray or perfume or anything
 like that,  and she did remember spraying some
 room freshner not too long before this happened,
but she couldn't remember if Rosie was around
or not at the time, but we are thinking that could have 
been it,  so just in case be careful spraying stuff if you
 have a pet near by. She looked awfully scary I'll tell you,
 I was thinking a few broken blood vessels maybe, but ,
  it looked like pure blood in her eyes.  She is like our
 baby, she is such a sweet cuddly lovey lil dog,  so just
 had to include this on My list for sure cause it gave
us all a scare for sure.
