Welcome to Thankful Thursday - February 9, 2012

Praise the Lord,

How good it is to sing praises to our God,

how pleasant, and fitting to praise him.

Psalm 147:1

Evening Sweet Peas,

So how are you??? 
 Doing well,  I hope!!


It has been a good, energetic and productive week
 for me, I have to say.....which would lead me to
my first thankful......


#1
I am thankful

for coconut oil or whatever has been making

me feel like the energizer bunny this week,

it is awesome............

#2

I am thankful

that we are having company in early

February,  same sweet folks we had on

the spur of the moment last year,  so we

are really looking forward to it.

#3

I am thankful

that Scott and Megan made it home

from their trip Safe and Sound on Monday.

#4

I am thankful

that Dee and Jerry got to come over on

Sunday to visit,  and they brought Rosie

along as well..............

#5

I am thankful

for a new white pitcher I found at the Hospice

resale shop,  as it goes nicely with my pitcher

collection and will be something new for spring.

#6

I am thankful

for dark chocolate,  cause we have really grown

to love it and it is very heart healthy....not that 
you can eat tons and tons are anything but, a few
 pcs. a day is great,  and I find that because it is
 rich,  less is quite satisfying.

#7

I am thankful

that I got the closet in our guest bedroom

straightened up,  so it looks nicer for our

company,  not that they would care!!  lol

But I did need to move some stuff so they

will have room to put their things.

#8

I am thankful
that we got to work in the yard again
yesterday,  so we are making more progress
and that is always a good thing.

#9
I am thankful

for all the great recipes we can find online, 

and especially thankful for a email I get from

 Kraft foods,  that have really easy and good

to great recipes.  They make my life a lot easier.

#10
I am thankful
that a young lady that used to be in ourcollege/career
 bible studies years ago, is feeling better, this gal is such a 
sweetheart and she has been sick with an envirionmental 
illness for about 8-10 years now, as she is allergic to every-
thing under the sun.  so it is so great to hear of any progress
 at all.  In that time tho, she has written 3 books,  1 has been
published, and is a great book for anyone suffering with any
 kind of illness, it has been an encouragement to me many
times when I was having problems with my neck and back.
The book is called "Grace in Time of Need", Encouragement
 for those who are suffering, by Joanna K. Harris.
One of her other books is on the bible character Job, 
 and I forgot the name of the other one.  Hopefully,
  the last 2 are published now,  and maybe her sickness
 will come to an end, am certainly praying this would
 be so. She has really been through a lot, but has had
 an amazing attitude thru it all.  She is certainly 
an inspiration to all who know her.

#11
I am thankful
for the gift of music and for the way it can
encourage and lift your spirit, even when you
don't even need it.............


which leads me to


#12
I am thankful
that we had the pleasure and the privilege of
 going to a concert at our church tonight. It was
 by a family called "the Collingsworth family",
and they were just amazing!!  They have 4
children, 3 girls....13, 20, and 22,  and a 17
yr. old son.  The Mom is a singer and concert
 pianist and oh my, how she can play that piano,
  it is amazing to hear and see,  truly!!  All 3 of the
 girls sing, and Two of the girls play the violin and
 the fiddle, the son sings and runs the tech. system
and the Dad sings, plays the trumpet, leads music
 and introduces and announces everything!
What gifted and loving folks.
 It was like going to a Gaither Homecoming !!
Truly a Joyous experience!!


That's my week of Thankfuls!!


Thanks for stopping by, 
 always good to hear from you.


Hope you have a lovely,
 lovely weekend.
