Great is the Lord, 
and most worthy of praise.
Psalm 48:1


Good Evening Sweet Friends,


How has your Thursday been??
Very Good,  I hope!!

Mine has been good and busy,  that is for sure,
and rainy as well.  Just been working on wedding
stuff and reading a bit, and just got off the phone
with my daughter.


Am getting ready to prepare din din,  it is gonna
be fairly simple since hubby has a meeting at
church tonight.  Pulled pork Sandwiches and
a salad,  sounds good to me!!  lol


Since this has been 4th of July week, and I 
have heard some good political type news,
I have to start off with
my #1 thankful being,


#1
I am thankful
to be a native Floridian and that I live not only
in Florida,  but in the Orlando area, and in the
United States,  all blessings beyond my control.




#2
I am thankful

for our new Govenor Rick Scott,  and for all

he is accomplishing with decreasing the jobless

rate, and also for his crackdown on prescription

drug abuse, and those who help feed the problem.

#3

I am thankful

that 2 christian men,  that were praying over their

food in a school cafeteria, in the Florida panhandle,

and that the ACLU brought up on charges, had

the courts rule in their favor.  Praise His Name!

#4

I am thankful

that I happened to get a local paper today and

saw that the County we live in has instituted

a dress code in all the schools in our County.

I am amazed...........it has needed to be so for

 many, many years.  I remember seeing how

the kids dressed when I used to take my 

daughter to school, it was appalling then, and 

that was 10 yrs. ago, so I can't even imagine
 what they dress like by now!

Compliments of lil ole me!  lol

#5
I am thankful

the Wedding plans are coming along well.

 Had no idea just how involved this would be.

  I am in process of reading contracts that must be

signed and making sure everything is listed that

is contracted for.........and praying I don't over

look or forget anything!!  If you feel so led

please pray for me that I don't overlook 
or forget anything!!

#6

I am thankful

that DeeAnna's wedding gown came in early.

So that way if she needs to have it altered in

any way she has plenty of time.

#7

I am thankful

for email,  and all the neat things people send me, and

 also for how quickly and easily I can communicate 

something and get a response quickly as well.

Has been tremendously handy during this process

with Wedding details

#8

I am thankful

for a book called the "divorce decision",  that 

someone told me about years ago,  and that

the Lord brought it to mind, so that I could buy it

and give it to a young lady who is about to make

a grave mistake.  My prayer is that she reads it!!

(Compliments of Better Homes and Gardens Magazine, I think)


#9
I am thankful

for people who write books that can help other

people grow and learn and understand God and

his ways more, and bring encouragement to hurting

people, and lift them out of the depths of dispair

even.  What a great blessing that is to many!!

We are reading a lil devotional book daily that
a friend graced us with called "Jesus Calling",
by Sarah Young.  I think I may have mentioned
it before, but it is just the neatest lil book,  it is
all written as if God were talking directly to you,
with scriptures at the bottom that back up
what is being paraphrased, it really speaks
to us, I have to say,  so we just love and enjoy
 it so much!!

#10

I am thankful

that we are getting rain again,  we didn't get

any over the holiday weekend,  which was

nice,  but since Florida is still in a draught

season,  it is a huge blessings.

#10

I am thankful

we were able to get our yard mowed last night,

especially since it is raining now...........

#11

I am thankful

that hubby was able to have a good conversation

with his boss today (who lives in another state) and

 get some clear instruction.

He has been a bit dismayed as he has been having

difficulty trying to get clarity, so think that made his

day for sure.

#12
I am thankful
that my bougainvilla that the deer or whatever
was eating is blooming again,  we had to move
it to an new location awhile but it came back
 really well,  and looking very pretty again!! 
 yea!!

Well,  that is my Thankful wrap-up!


Thanks for stopping in................
it is always great to hear from you.


Love,  Hugs,  
and Blessings for a great Friday,
and weekend.
