Morning Sweet Friends

*

Welcome to Thankful Thursday!!

*

So how are yall today???

*

Things went well with our couple last evening

and I got a good nights sleep,  and just had

some peach crepes and coffee,  so I am in

good shape here!!

*

Just made hubby his first strawberry crepes,

he is sold............he really liked them too!

*

So guess 

#1

I am thankful to the Lord

 for these delightful crepes we have discovered.

and now for the recipe for them that Lois

over at wife of a colonel shared with us.

So I am gonna try and make them.  She 

said she puts pudding and fruit in hers.

Think that will be our next dessert for

our next family dinner,  whenever that is!!

*

#2

I am thankful

 for the gift of prayer,  and how it can

 keep us from worrying, in these trying times

in which we live,  and that when every

thing seems out of control and we feel

likes there is nothing we can do,

we can always pray............which

is really the best thing anyway!!

*

#3

I am thankful

 for the gift it has been to me and my family

for me to be a stay at home Wife and Mom

all these almost 33 years.  I have loved it

and treasured it,  and feel so priviledged

to have been able to -  because I have felt

that was my calling from the Lord.

* 

#4

I am thankful

 for the fact my hubby has a good job

 and things seem to be going well there still,

and He loves his job!!.  It is such a Wonder-

ful thing for a man to really love his job!!

*

#5

I am thankful

that even when he took the job after

 being laid off 10 months and having to make

 concessions in pay and vacation time, and he

 had a much longer commute, and we wondered

why...........The Lord knew exactly what He

 was doing, as always!!   It turned out to be

the perfect job for him,  no stress and he

was able to work from home after his bypass

 surgery as he was convalescing, which made his

 recovery quicker I think,  since it gave him 

something to do and  think about since he could not

 lift or do much else.  Plus for the last 3 yrs. I think 

it is, he has been able to work at home on

Thursday and Fridays. So because he has no 

commute those days it saves on gas and adds 4 hrs.

 to our week.  So what a huge blessing it has been!!

*

#6

I am thankful

 for the fact we can pay our bills every month,

not everyone can say that today.

*

#7

I am thankful

for utilities like lights, and water and refuse

pick up!  Life would be quite different

without them!

*

#8

I am thankful

that I was spared from 2 falls this week.

One last Friday when we were working

in the yard,  I did  scrape my legs up but

 could have fallen on a yard oranament which

I am sure would not have been good for my

back,  the other one yesterday, I tripped

and could have fallen on my knees on tile.

*

#9

I am thankful

that things went well with our young

couple last evening,  and now I think

we are at the point we can start giving

them some tools to work with.

Thanks for those of you who prayed

for us.  God is good!!

*

#10

I am thankful

I get to spend the evening with my

lovely daughter and Rosie since hubby

 has a board meeting!!  Yippee!!

*

#11

I am thankful

for the new Joyce Meyer book I am 

reading.  Like all her books it is very

good.  She is such a neat lady,  and

has really overcome a lot,  and really

has helped a lot of people,  and really

wants to help people understand what

having an abundant life is all about.

She is truly a blessing to everyone!!

*

#12

I am thankful

for some really good news I just got

from the couple we were working

with last night.  The Lord is really

working and boy, is that exciting!!

*

Thanks for coming by .................

Love, Blessings, and Hugs,

Nellie
