Welcome to Thankful Thursday - Sept. 30, 2010

The Heavens declare the Glory of God;

the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Welcome to Thankful Thursday

Sweet Encouragers,

Hope this post finds you full of praise to our

 Wonderful Lord for all his goodness to us.

I took these photos early Sunday Morning,

 I saw a few others took them too, and showed

them on Monday,  so I decided to wait for today.,

but isn't it neat,  that we all live in different places,

(I live in Florida) and had a pink, and blue sky. 

 How neat is that!!

The Lord must have been in a pink and Blue

Mood on Sunday!!  lol

 That lil pinhead white dot up there is the moon!!

It has been a delightful day here,  cool, breezy,

overcast and cloudy but delightful,  was able to

sit out on the porch and read my bible this morning,

and you know how I love that!!  We even got up

late so I was able to sit out there in comfort at

11 a.m.,  and it was only 75 degrees.

ahhhhhhhhhh,  the refreshment of it all!!

So guess my first praise would be

#

1

I am thankful

that the tropical storm passed us by, and we

had delightful weather rather than a terrible

stormy day!!

I am thankful

Scott got home from his trip to Louisianna (for work)

safe and sound.

I am thankful

Dee and Megan (his girlfriend) were both here last

evening and had dinner with us.  This was a first

to just have the 2 girls.  Dee was picking up Rosie

and Megan was dropping off Joey!!  lol

We really had a fun evening together.  Just went

by too quickly!!  lol

I am thankful

for the great singing we had in church on Sunday

morning.  It was like everyone was singing with

their heart and soul, and with such gusto, It was

 wonderful. Now....  it is always good,  but for some

 reason it was especially great,  I am sure it had

 something to do with something our Pastor prefaced

 it with or even the great messages he has been

preaching lately.

I am thankful

for another great movie we watched last evening

that was so inspiring.  It was another movie made 

by the Billy Graham Association, and it is called

 "Something to sing about".

It really was such a good movie.

 So do you see a theme here about the singing.....

Well,  I have another one believe it or not!!  lol

I am thankful 

for an email I rec'd from one of the fellas that used

to attend our college/career bible study we held

many years back,  it had a link to u tube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0lSExqQ8Qg&feature=related

The video is of a  lil 7 yr old girl singing.  Her name is Rhema

Marvanne.  She lost her Mom to ovarian cancer when she was

six yrs. old, and what a testimony this precious lil girl is for

our God

It is truly just an amazing video.  Once you get to this

link,  there are a number of other videos about her as well.

Truly a blessing!!

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I am thankful

for left over chicken and dumplings from last night.

All I have to do is make a Veggie.  Love that!!

and was able to share some with my SIL

who is presently sick.

I am thankful

for rubber mulch.  Now I know that sounds a bit

silly,  but really I am.  We have this flower bed

where our mailbox is,  and everytime we have

a heavy rain all the mulch floats to the other side

 of the driveway or out on the grass,  but some months

 back we decided to try the rubber mulch,  and that spot

 looks great all the time now.  No more raking up mulch

or replacing mulch.  At some point think I would like to put 

it in all our beds,  cause it will last forever,  cause rubber

 doesn't break down easily.

I am thankful

that hubby had so many breakthroughs today.  He

has sort of been stymied with some technical things

as he is doing work from his old job,  and also on

something he is working on towards a business,

and was getting a lil bummed last night.  So God

gave him the answers to everything today.  So he

is a happy guy.  I told him I thought the Lord didn't

answer yesterday, because it meant more hrs. in

his paycheck,  if he had the answer right away,

he would have finished sooner!!

I am thankful

for all the glorious skies the Lord paints for us

each and every day.  How could I not be thankful

after looking at these pics.  He does incredible

work,  does he not!!

#11

I am thankful

that I got an email yesterday from an old time

friend of 38 yrs.  She lives in Indiana and is

babysitting her 3 grandies daily.  Don't know

how she does it.  God Bless Her!!  Think it

is because she  is in love with being a Grammy,  

and that is so Wonderful!!

I was so touched that she said, she enjoyed reading

my blog ,  and it made her feel like she had talked

 with me, and knew what was going on.

 I forgot I even told her about it!!  lol

So that was a sweet surprise.
