Welcome to Thankful Thursday - March 31, 2011

(Some Springs Scenes from my Living Room from last year)

I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart;
 I will tell of all your wonders.
Psalm 9:1

Hello Sweet Friends,


How are you this fine day??
Hope your weather is better than ours.


It has been raining like crazy all day
with lots of thunder and lightning to go along
with it.  Hubby said this day was for 
a duck.........


Which brings me to my first thankful


#1

I am thankful

that hubby had a job interview today with

 another Company....... that is why he said

 it was a day for a duck.....

to interview that is!! lol

He had to leave in the pouring rain, so
fortunately, we have a beach umbrella,
so I was able to walk him to the car
with that and kept him fairly dry, the

when he arrived there it started pouring 
again, but fortunately, he arrived a lil
early so he was able to wait a few mins.,
and it did let up some, and was able
to park right in front, and he also has one
 of those shirts with the new fabric that
is fairly water repellent, the water just
 beads up on the outside,  so that was good!!
We didn't even realize that!!  

 The interview was just a wee bit disappointing

 as he only got to speak with someone in HR,

 but no techie folks, and then they gave him

 some sort of brain teaser type test!  Always

something new to look forward to....lol

Have to say tho, it was almost amazing the

way he got the interview so quickly or at

all really!!

Because he applied on Tuesday, got a

call first thing Wednesday and went in

for the interview today,  and it came

thru career builder, I think, and he has

never gotten one interview from the

online services, this time or the last

time he was laid off.

But, hey, we are thankful for it any

way you slice it, cause it is progress!!

and we know who is in control of

doling out his jobs!!


Update: They just called and said
they want him to come back for an
another interview on Monday and he
passed the silly test with flying colors!!
Whoo Hoo!!

#2

I am thankful

for a sweet visit from the wife

of a young couple we were counseling

back in the fall. She was saying they had

planned on coming back after the baby came,

  but they are doing so well, they don't need to.

Isn't that Great!!

Just what we love to hear!!
The Lord gave him a new job that was more 
family friendly too and I really think that took 
care of a lot of the problems, and they were
very excellent students!! 

She brought us a very lovely thank you card

along with a Target Gift card!!

How Precious!!

The Card and the Fact that they are doing

so well... is Thanks enough for us, but it
was so appreciated.

#3

I am thankful

for my wonderful family. 
  They spoiled this lady royally, and

it meant the world to me.

#4

I am thankful

for all the facebook wishes, ecards,
 emails, comments from bloggy friends,

 phone calls, and cards I rec'd

for my birthday,

It was truly overwhelming..... but in
 a

very good way!

My love tank is beyond overflowing!!

and My week has been a lil heaven on earth.

#5

I am thankful

that hubby just got more work from
his old company.  Something crashed....
unfortunately for them......  but they need
him to fix it, so that is good news for us!!

#6

I am thankful

for the rain we got this week,  cause

our yard really needed it and really

liked it....much greener, kicking in that

slow release fertilizer Scott put down.

#7

I am thankful
for the sweet time I had with Dee

while we were getting our pedicures
 together,  it was a lot of fun and very
 relaxing, and I love getting my feet in
 great shape for spring especially now that 
everyone wears sandal type shoes for
 casual or dress!!


  I was introduced to my first pedicure 5 years
 ago, by Dee who took me for my birthday, 
 and it is a gift I love,  so we do it almost
 every year now.  One year we got facials,

but to be honest...I prefer the pedicure.

#8

I am thankful

that we got to keep Joey our
 grandaughter dog this week.

(This has a photoshop affect on it, probably paint daubs)

#9

I am thankful
for the new book Jimmy got me for
my birthday called "Heaven is for
real".  It is truly an awesome book.
we are 3 quarters of the way done thru
it and we just started on Monday.
It is easy reading tho I have to admit,
 but we are so enjoying it!!




#10
I am thankful
that hubby now enjoys reading 
books a lot more now.  Some years
back while on vacation I started
reading to him,  and he really liked
it and we have been doing that for
years now, and he even reads to me
now too!  How cool is that!!




#11
I am thankful
for the Lord's incredible faithfulness
to us, he just never ceases to amaze.




#12
I am thankful
for the sweet smelling aroma in my 
backyard ruminating from our honey
suckle vines, they truly smell divine.
Course, after all the rain, they aren't
looking to swell now!!  lol


Did you ever pull the stamen out of
one of their petals and eat the nectar??


It tastes sweet,  we used to do that all
the time as kids, and once in awhile
I still have to go out and do it!!  lol

Well, Sweet Friends......
That is my list of joy gifts
 for this week,
Hope you have some too!


Glad you stopped by.....
don't forget to say Hellooooo!!


Hope more of you are experiencing
the joy of spring by now!!


Love....
Hugs.....and Spring blessings,


Nellie
