Well,  Sweet Friends

Guess what Day it is????

*

Hope your week has been going well,  and that today

 finds you in a grateful mood.

*

We worked out in the yard again yesterday

and pruned away all the dead palmetto leaves

and it looks so much better and greener.

*

So guess that would be my

#1

I am thankful to the Lord

for all the work we got done  and how much

nicer the yard  looks each time.  We both love 

seeing the yard evolve one snip at a time.  lol

.........course, there is

still plenty more to do,  but it will get there.

#2

I am thankful to the Lord

for my blooming lilies cause  everytime I see them

they are a constant reminder of those verses in 
Matthew 6:25-34 about the Lilies of the field,
and how God takes care of them, and how if
He takes care of them....He will take care of us.

#3

I am thankful to the Lord

that Kathy from over at Sweet Up North Mornings

 had good news about her husbands cancer surgery

 this  week.  Lord willing they will be able to do it

all laprascopically and his recovery time will be

much shorter.  PTL

*

Remember to pray for him if you feel led,  his

name is Dave and his surgery is June 5th.

#4

I am thankful to the Lord

for all the jobs my hubby is finding to apply for,

cause this was not the case 6 yrs. ago when

he was laid off.  The market was flooded with

Engineers when his Company had huge lay

offs of so many people, mostly all Engineers.

*

#5

I am thankful to the Lord

that we came across a job opportunity last night

 for Scott that seems to perfectly fit his expertise

and experience and it is in the area.  We are

so excited!!  But he has to apply yet!!

He hasn't even seen it yet,  as we found it

about 10:30 and emailed the info over to him.
Plus there were some others as well.

*

Isn't he a cutie!!  I took this quite a while back

but just never used it before ( at least I don't

 remember using it anyway!! lol.)  He is sitting in

the tree in our front yard.

*

#6

I am thankful to the Lord

that my friend that had the MRI that showed

no brain tumors has had no more symtoms.

She was prayed for by the elders and now

we are wondering if there was something

there, and the Lord has healed her,  cause

strange that her symptoms just quit all of

a sudden,  cause she had been having

bad dizzy spells and then would be real

 nauseous.

*

#7

I am thankful to the Lord

that Becky over at Holiday In the Sun 

did well on all her tests this week.

Tests are no fun,  that is for sure.
So the Lord is answering all those
prayers on her behalf.

#8

I am thankful to the Lord

for this yummy Pasta Salad recipe I 

learned from my long time friend Arlene.

I made it today and it has almost been a 

year since I made it,  which made it all

 the better.  Hubby and I both enjoyed

it so much,  and I have a huge bowl left,

so I will probably add Chicken to it for

tomorrows dinner.

It truly is delicious and filling.

If you would like to try it .

( This would be Molly - Don't you just love her

butterfly shaped nose markings)

#9

I am thankful to the Lord

that He took care of our cat Molly for us.

She was acting like she was getting a

urinary tract infection again and we were

thinking oh, a vet bill,  so we prayed and

asked the Lord to take care of it,  and He

did cause she has been fine every since.

#10

I am thankful to the Lord

for the extra time that we have to be in
God's word, praying and reading good
books,  and to minister which leads me to
 the next Thankful!!

*

#11

I am thankful to the Lord
for  his word,  the Bible,  and for great books
like "Secrets of the vine", by Bruce Wilkinson
and "Lost in the Middle" and "Broken down
house" by Paul David Tripp because they 
are full of wonderful theology about God
and who He is and constantly point us to
God's love for us,  and are soooo very
 encouraging when you go through
times like these.

# 12
I am thankful  to the Lord
for being able to get all our Dr. appts. in
June,  just in case we can't keep the Cobra
Insurance.  Still have to get some dental appts
yet,  but don't think that will be a problem.
*
#13
I am thankful to the Lord
that I was able to lower the miles driven for
Jim's car which will make our car Ins. almost
 $100.00 less for this 6 mo. period.  You have
to keep Insurance but if we don't drive it much
then it takes quite a bit off!!  yea!!
*

Well,  Sweet Folks,
What can I tell you,
except God is Good!!
*
That is my Thankful List
*
Tell Me About Yours!!!
*
Have a Great Evening with you Sweet 
Family,  Friends or Pets,

Love, Blessings and Hugs,
Nellie
