Welcome to Thankful Thursday - November 17, 2011

We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks,
 For Your name is near ; Men declare Your wondrous works.

Psalm 75:1

Hello Sweet Peas,

How are you a doing???? 

 Starting to get ready for Turkey day,

 I'll bet!!

Can't believe it is just one week

away.............Can You????

Which brings me to my #1 thankful.

#1

I am thankful that we get to spend part of the day

with our kids on Thanksgiving day. Now that they are 

 married we have to share them, of course,  but it

 could be way worse...............

we could not get to see them at all,  and I know there

are many of you out there that relate to that,  and

I am truly sorry if you can't be with your kids.  I know

that is hard for you..........................

Dee is actually having to work, until 4 or 5 at the

 hospital this year!!

#2

I am thankful

for the wonderful Anniversary Getaway we had,
I know you are probably sick of hearing about
it but I truly feel, I would be remiss not to mention
it as it was such a blessing.

#3

I am thankful

for a beautiful home to come home to.........

#4

I am thankful

that I found some more black flats today,

that don't squeak, and they are very cute too.
 Praise the Lord!!

#5

I am thankful

for my health today.  As I was out shopping

today,  the Lord really gave me a reminder of how

 blessed I am to be able to get around easily and

do things. While I was in Kohl's just looking in

the jewelry dept., 4 ladies crossed my path that

 were around my age or maybe older,  2 were

using canes and not walking very well,  and one

 was in a wheelchair, and the other just out of

breath evidently from a lung problem,  and

said to me,  I am just getting too old to shop

in this big store.

Bless their hearts,  I  felt so badly for them.

#6

I am thankful

that Dee was just offered a new position in

Radiology today, they want to use her in the

 Mammography Dept., in December.  So she

and Jerry are going to travel to S. Florida this

 weekend for her to get the additional training

she needs on Sat. and Sunday.  This will  afford

her the opportunity to do something different

and possibly to work less hours and make

a lil more money,  so she is very excited.

#7

I am thankful

that we get to keep Rosie for the weekend.

Fun for us!!

#8

I am thankful

that we finished our Bible Study up today,

since we are getting into a busier time of

the season ,

#9

I am thankful

that our study was on how to handle the

political atmosphere we find ourselves

in,  and it was a great reminder that we

need to pray pray pray for our leaders.

That will really be the only thing that is

gonna bring any sort of change!!

I truly believe that!!

#10

I am thankful

that a friend of mine is able to get the

surgery she needed,  as she has no

insurance and was desperately in need

of help,  and she is in surgery as I write

this,  so am praying all turns out well,

and this will put an end to a lot of issues

she has been dealing with.


Just heard from her hubby and she is
out of surgery and on her way home.
Please pray for her if you feel so led,
for a rapid recovery and divine help with pain.

#11

I am thankful

that I have officially kicked off my christmas

shopping today.  Yeah!!

#12

I am thankful

for a nice lady I ran into today in Michaels.

She asked me if I had ever used Chargers,

on my table,  which launched us into a long

conversation and we tried to figure out how

she could decorate her table for Thanksgiving

as she was having guests for Thanksgiving
and Christmas and wanted her table to look
really nice.  So we spent about 45 mins. 
together looking at stuff, and she did settle
on some gold chargers, and was gonna do
 some more looking around.  I recommended
she try the dollar store and see what she
could find there.  She evidently use to do
a lot of creative things but has just gotten
out of practice,  but we had fun and I love
those chance meetings like that,  it sort
of restores your faith in people,  don't you
think!  Her name was Ruth and am hoping
the Lord allows us to run into each other
again sometime.

ahhhhhhhhh  Fall...........................


Soon to be gone.................
just another week and we will be 
putting up the Christmas decorations. 
 Amazing..............


Well, Sweet Friends,  hope you have
 a wonderful, wonderful weekend,
 with lots of neat things happening.


Thanks for your visit, and for your 
comments, they are always a
 joy to my heart............


Love, Hugs and
Last of Fall Blessings to you!!
