Welcome to Thankful Thursday - November 10, 2011

Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; 

let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.

 Let us come before him with thanksgiving and

 extol him with music and song. 

 For the LORD is the great God, 

the great King above all gods.

Psalm 95:1-3

Helloooooooooooo

Sweet Friends,

So how are ya today???

Doing well....I hope!!

I have had a full day myself,  went to bible

study then out shopping for a pair of black

flats that are comfy and that would look

nice with a new pair of dark jeans I got

a few weeks back.  

#1

I am thankful

that I found some that fit the bill,  the Lord

answered my prayer,  but guess I forgot to

ask that they be not only comfy, but noiseless,

they squeak something awful,  so they are

gonna have to go back, since I don't know any

where I can put any WD-40 on them  to stop

the squeaks!!! lol

#2

I am thankful

that when things don't go right.....it doesn't upset me 

like it used to.......and at least you can get a funny story

 out of it,  which makes it all the better..............

#3

I am thankful

that I ran into an old and dear friend today

when I was going into Bealls,  we had a nice

chat for awhile.  Always heartwarming to see

a long time friend.

#4

I am thankful

that when I was in Target,  they had some

"Merry Christmas" banners up!!  Knock me

over with a feather,  what a joy that was to

see,  so I made sure I told them how happy

I was to see that!!

#5

I am thankful

that when I went into Publix I was looking

in their book and magazine area,  and happened

to see a men's magazine that was rather distasteful,

never have seen that before,  so I promptly took

it up to the office and told them that I have shopped

with Publix for years and that I found this magazine

very offensive and that I didn't feel it fit their image,

and they asked me if their were more out there,

and seemed concerned,  so that is the praise,

that they did seem concerned,  and that maybe

someone else would be spared the same

experience. 

#6

I am thankful

that I am starting to feel the need to start 

speaking up even more about things,  because it

seems that evil is winning out because those

that don't like how things are just tolerate it, and feel

 like what  good does it do,  but I think it does way

 more good than we think especially if we do it in a

nice way, just saying how we feel about it and

saying we just wanted to call it to their attention

since it just didn't seem to fit with the typical

decorum of their store.

  We don't have to be nasty but I do think we need

 to say things at times to either encourage good behavior

 or to discourage bad behavior.  Don't know about

you but I am just sick of political correctness,

cause it is absolutely ruining our country.

Also makes me think of that quote that says:

the only thing needed for evil to triumph is

for good men (and women) to say nothing!!

#7

I am thankful

for the blessing of being married for 41 years

to the same great guy.  I am the only person

in my family to be married this long,  and to still

be married to the same person.  All the praise goes

 to God....that is for sure!!

Cause if it weren't for Him,  I am sure this would

not be our story...............

#8

I am thankful

for all the up and downs of married life that

have taught us so much,  that we can pass

on to help others.  Cause most of it we had

to learn the hard way,  and it is nice if you

can help someone else just learn from your

experience.  What a Gift that is to learn

from others...............love it!!

#9

I am thankful

that all the reception pics came out very 

nicely,  and can't wait to have time to share

them with you.

#10

I am thankful

that I got another Thank you card about the

reception,  this time is was from Jerry's grand

mother.  What a sweet lady she is.......

and her card was very encouraging .

#11

I am thankful

for steamed shrimp that you can just pick

up at your friendly Publix Supermarket.  It makes

for a quick and easy din din,  and keeps me from

smelling up our home!!  Like that the best!!  lol

#12

I am thankful

that a local Christian radio station we support

has just about met their 2012 budget goal.

Cause the station is completely listener supported.

So that is great..................

Well, that completes my list

 for today!

Hope your list is full

 and overflowing as well.

You have a Wonderful Weekend

 with your Family and/or Friends

 (Human and Furry)  lol

Thanks for droppin by,  and for

you sweet comments.

Love, Hugs,

and Speak Out Blessings,

Nellie
