those who trust in the Lord are protected by his constant love. 

 You that are righteous, be glad and rejoice because 

of what the Lord has done. You that obey him, shout for joy!

Good Friday Morning 
Sweet Peas,

Well, better late than ever as the old saying goes!

I really finished late last night,  but unfortunately,

it would not save what I added,  so I was too 

tired to redo it all, hence this mornings post!!

Hope you have a had a very good week,  

and have lots to be Thankful for at this most

Wonderful Time of the Year!

Since I am so late I am just gonna get right

to my thankfuls.....................

#1

I am thankful 

that we are entering my all time, most favorite

time of the year because it is all about my 

all time favorite person,  Jesus!

#2

I am thankful

for the sweet and fun time I had with my

bible study group today,  we had our

Christmas party which ended our study

for this year!

#3

I am thankful

for a quick and very easy recipe I learned

last year that came in handy for taking

something to the party today.

If you haven't heard about pretzels and

rolo candy treats,  let me know and I

will post the recipe!  The hardest part

is unwrapping the rolos!!  Seriously!! lol

#4

I am thankful

that Dee and I were able to get together

this week and visit as she did my hair.

She is always been my best hairdresser.

#5

I am thankful

that all the Fall stuff is put away until next

year and all the Christmas stuff is down from 

the attic and some of it put up, but most of it

 waiting for me to get my groove on!! and

hoping that happens soon...........lol

#6

I am thankful

that the Lord is never finished working on us,

 to make us better and better and more like his

 son,  He does things in his own timing,  but he

leaves no rocks unturned.  He heals gently,

and sometimes calls us to revisit things we

don't necessarily want to,  because he heals

us in layers, much  like peeling an onion.

  I think that is because some things are just 

too painful to deal with all at one time, and 

 He is so good to be merciful to us

I am thankful

for the cool front that came thru yesterday,

it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

For a few days at least!  lol

#8

I am thankful

that our whole family is going out to Long-

horn's to celebrate Megan's birthday tonight.

I usually do a dinner for her,  but she said

they had a busy week and weekend and

maybe this would be easier,  am wondering

if she is trying to be sweet and give me a 

break as well.


P.S. I am thankful that we all went and had
a very enjoyable and fun time,  and that
Megan liked her din din,  cards and gifts.

#9

I am thankful

for a movie we saw last night that is a true

story and a very powerful and encouraging

film.  It is called "Soul Surfer",  it is about

a young girl who was bitten by a great white

shark and he took her arm off.  Amazing story!

It was a bit intense for me up until the shark

attack happened,  but well worth the watch.

Would like to see it again now that I know

when the scary incident happens,  cause I

can relax until then.  I can't believe anyone

could ever go back in the water after that!

#10

I am thankful
that because of the nice weather I was able
to wear a lovely sweater set Dee and Jerry
 gave me for Christmas last year.  I have 
only had the opportunity to where it just
once,  So that was fun for me!


#11
I am thankful
for this lovely young woman (Megan) we call 
our daughter in love.  She is a very sweet girl
and she and Jerry both are wonderful additions
to our family.  So we are very grateful for
both of them.


#12
I am thankful
that Jim and I get to be involved in the Toybox
ministry again this year  It was started by a sweet
lady that had to move away,  and it has been so
neat to see how so many have pitched in to keep
the ministry alive and well.  It really is such a blessing
to those in need of help for christmas,  and it blesses
those being helped as well, as those that are helping.

Well, that completes my list..................
hope you have a nice list of your own!


Thanks for droppin in.............always great
to hear from you!!


Have Fun with all that shopping and decorating,
and remember to be sweet and courteous to everyone
 you come in contact with as you are out there shopping
 and be sure to  wish everyone a Merry Christmas!!
Cause after all..... who are we really  representing
 and celebrating!!


Love, Hugs and
Seasons Sweetest Blessings to You and yours,


Nellie
