Welcome to Thankful Thursday - April 19, 2012

Told you I would show you my change of pictures

in the kitchen area.  This is the old picture taken in

August last year,  and below you will see the

other picture I chose for a new look!

Welcome to Thankful Thursday!


So what sort of week did you have???

Mine has been a mixture of yard work, relation
 building, emotional pain, reading and the usual
every day stuff.

Been out working in the yard  this morning and yesterday
 morning and it has been fun and the weather was perfect
 for it, overcast and breezy altho it did get pretty warm

after a bit.  Still enjoyed it!  Which leads me to

my first Thankful.

# 1

I am thankful

for my backyard,  it is such a place of peace, solace,

beauty and joy to me,  and for the most part private,

I love that too!!

Remember the new look was inspired by the lilies.

#2

I am thankful

for weed pulling - it is a great way to do some deep

thinking and pondering, and love the results.  My

flower bed looks so much better too!  lol

#3

I am thankful

for faithful friends that are full of wisdom to share

at times when we need it.

It is a very nice change and looks a lil more stately.

#4

I am thankful

that I found some very important paperwork on Tuesday

that was lost, I looked everywhere and was constantly

praying for the Lord to find it!!

Find it He did,  can not tell you what a relief that was!

#5

I am thankful

for answers to prayer,  and for those who pray.

Called hubby and my Sil Susan on Tuesday and asked

them to pray I would find the paperwork
and as I said  I found it,  Such a blessing!

With posterized affect!

#6

I am thankful

for food from Tropical chicken grill,  it is pretty

healthy and delicious,  and  we got it as take out

Tuesday evening and then were able to have it for
 lunch on Wednesday..............a nice quick lunch
after all my weed pulling............sweet!

#7

I am thankful

for the scripture in the bible that is so encouraging

for the day and time we live in.

Romans 8:28

And we know that all things work together for

 good to those who love God, to those who are 

 called according to His purpose.

Can you see there is just one lily left to open!

#8

I am thankful

for the results I have seen from doing these breathing

exercises the Dr. gave me.  My back is pretty much

normal now and it has also helped my neck problems.

My neck used to be tight all the time,  and it is no longer

 that way, in fact, I was suppose to go for my routine

 visit to the chiropractor this week and I moved it back

a few weeks, cause I am doing so well.

It is also helping my IBS, which is the real reason he

 had me doing this in the first place.

 Tuesday was 4 weeks from when I started, plus I had

 somewhat of a set back during the time I was sick,

so I am truly amazed at the results and would highly

recommend it to anyone.  I know it sounds just too

easy,  but if I had not tried it myself I would never

have believed it...............

Colored pencil affect.

#9

I am thankful

for a short but sweet and encouraging email from

 my Dee today.  It blessed my heart!

#10

I am thankful

one of my blog friends came by and told me they

thought all the gapping in my last posts were from

the new blogger changes,  so hopefully,  they will

get it worked out soon.  Think I might be going

to another editor soon anyway,  when hubby has

time to help me.

Just had to come back once I posted this and
say yeah,  it looks like blogger fixed the problem.
Wonderful.............

 Well,  here is the last lily to open up!

Isn't the color change amazing.......

#11

I am thankful

for a sweet surprise phone call yesterday from a dear
 friend of many years.  She is always such a joy to talk
 with, and was a wonderful distraction.

#12 

I am thankful
for the results of being obedient to God even when
He asks us to do really hard things!
Obedience brings blessing...............

This is the last of the lilies,  I threw them all away 
yesterday but that last one,  stuck it in a bud vase and
 it is by my sink in the kitchen.



Well,  that wraps up some of my blessings
 for the week..................


Hope you will share a few of yours.


Thanks for coming for a visit, 
 look forward to your sweet comments.


Have a Fruitful Friday and
 a Winsome Weekend,


Love,  Hugs and
Relation Building Blessings,
Nellie
