Welcome to Thankful Thursday - December 15, 2011

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given,
 and the government will be on his shoulders.
 And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, 
Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6



Hello Sweet Peas,

Guess I will begin again............was almost 
done and went to copy and paste a verse,
  and lost it all but the above picture.  Have
a feeling it isn't gonna get posted till Friday
again........................Sorry bout that!! lol


Hope you have had a great week, but if not,
that in spite of your troubles that you see
God's goodness in it all................


Today I have been cooking, doing some Christmas
cards, and thinking and exploring ideas for our
Christmas brunch and dinner,  think I finally
have brunch nailed down, just need to get it
on paper so I can start making my grocery
list now.

( These are all pics of my Nativity Set)

Today is my daddy's birthday, and he is
spending it with Jesus,  and has been for
the last 18 years, hard to believe it has been
 that long and I have to say that
is my
#1 
thankful today


I am very thankful
that my daddy is in heaven, because he
would not have been 3 months prior to
losing him. God is good!!


#2
I am thankful
that I have figured out what we are
having for both meals.  One more thing
off my plate.






#3
I am thankful
for the lovely Musical we had at church
last Saturday.  It brings such Christmas
spirit to everyone,  and was just a joy
to watch and hear.

#4
I am thankful
for a beautiful poinsettia that my sweet
SIL gave us,  I have enjoyed it inside,
but put it outside by our front door
yesterday as it was looking like it 
needed a bit of sunshine.
Looks so pretty there!




#5
I am thankful
that we got our outside lights up last
evening, and it only took 45 mins. or
less.  We have the icicle lights and 
usually put them on the eaves of the
house but decided to just drape
them on the bushes,  and it looks
great, at least festive and not like
old scrooges live here!  lol
I find we are simplifying more and
more.............




#6
I am thankful
that all my packages from online
shopping have arrived. so fun getting
packages everyday.  
You would think it was Christmas
or something!! lol

I am thankful
that I get to spend some time with my girl and
 Rosie tonight.  Always a treat for this Mom.




#8
I am thankful
for my dear sweet husband, and thankful he is
 loving his job and enjoying it so much.  




#9
I am thankful
for Christmas movies.  We just watched a 
remake of "Miracle of 34th Street" this week
 and it was great. Highly recommend it!

#10
I am thankful
for all our Pastors and leaders that
serve so willingly in our church to
minister to those that are troubled
or hurting, they teach us, encourage us,
and are fine examples of Godly
men and women.  May God bless
them every one...........




#11
I am thankful
that my back is still doing well, and that I had 
a good day and got quite a bit accomplished.

#12
I am thankful
for you dear friend, and so happy to have met
 you here in blogland. You all teach me, encourage
 me, and inspire me in so many ways.
and many of you are also prayer warriors for me
 and others, and what a blessing that is............
You are a joy to this blogger, and I hope
 each of you has a
Very Merry Christmas!




Well, that is my grateful list for this
week.............................
I had written a lot more stuff on each
item earlier,  but I am too tired to redo
it all..............so guess this was what
was meant to be...........lol




Hope you have a Wonderful Weekend
full of Seasonal delights,  and may
your focus always be on Him!
