Welcome to Thankful Thursday - Nov.1, 2010

Let the word of christ dwell in you richly

as you teach and admonish one another

with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms,

hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude

in your hearts to God.

Colossians 3:16

Greetings Sweet Friends,

How has your week been??  Course,
If you are in the storm affected area
I suspect it has been not been one of
your better weeks, I am sure, and I am
 so sorry for all you are going thru and
 praying for you, and that you have what 
you need.  If you aren't in the affected 
area, as we weren't I am thinking you
 are probably like us, very grateful....

I know a lil bit about that as we went
thru 3 hurricanes in a row about 7-8
years ago,  one every 2 weeks, and
the first one wrecked our yard, and
we had about 12 trees on our house,
most of them small but we did have
some very big pine trees as well, one
fell on top of our screened porch and
across our garage.None of them 
amazingly did any structural damage, 
no holes in our roof, which was a
 miracle in and of itself, but we did
 need a new roof on the house and
 porch, as they were beat up. What
 an ordeal to go thru, and to clean
 up, but as we worked to clean up
 the Lord did so many neat things
 to help us. We will never forget all 
of his provisions for us during 
that time!

Well, better get on with this 
post now....................

#1

I am thankful

for a good report on my annual

Drs. physical.  He said my bloodwork

was about as perfect as it could get!

Can't help loving that report!!

#2

I am thankful

we finally got rid of our old Van,  it
was sad to see her go... I have to say
but .....it was nice to get her out of our
driveway as it has been a bit of a nuisance
at times shuffling cars around.

#3

I am thankful
that I finally heard from my cousins today
that live in Virginia,  and they are both fine.
Had not been able to reach them by phone
or email,  and finally got an email today.
So that was great news.

#4

I am thankful
 that we will all get to celebrate Scott's

birthday with him this coming Sunday
 as that is his actual birthday.  
So looking forward to that and am thankful
I have finally and happily come up with a 
cute table idea.  For some reason I have just
 been drawing a blank until last night, saw 
something that sparked an idea..........and
it has grown from there.  Nothing like a 
lil inspiration...........

#5

I am thankful
for a fun day at bible study,  lots of great
sharing today, and then I started my Christmas
 shopping.  I made a day of it ........then met
 hubby for dinner at 6p.m.  I just love Christmas
 and buying gifts for people!  Rings my chimes.


#6
I am thankful
for the wonderful dinner we had at Olive
Garden. I love their Chicken Marsala but
  they prepared the wrong thing for me, so they
had to take it back,  but it was well worth the 
wait.  It is always good,  but for some reason it
 was way better than usual,  and a very full plate.

#7
I am thankful
that our server was so sweet,  that she took
 my dinner off our bill completely because she felt
 so bad I had to wait so long, what a nice blessing,
So needless to say we left her a nice tip!!
and I am happy I don't have to concern myself
with what to have for lunch tomorrow.....
chicken Marsala it is..................yeah!! 


#8
I am thankful
the Imaging center called to offer me an appt.
 to get my bone density test done today,  so did
 that too,  so one more thing off the list!!  lol  
Now I have to go to the dentist next Thursday, 
 and make an appt. with a dermotologist.
Think that is why I put off going to the Dr.,
cause it isn't just one appt., by the time
you are done there is at least 3 more. lol

#9

I am thankful
for all the coupons I have been getting
in the mail lately,  I used 3 of them today,
and saved $50.00, so what a nice blessing
that was..................


#10
I am thankful
for the truth of God's word, and for the
encouragement it brings to my heart
during these trying times we live in.

#11
I am thankful
Dee and Jerry are better now.  They had
a stomach virus the first part of the week,
 Dee got it first, then Jerry got it a  few days later, 
 and he had a worse case that she did...........but 
they are feeling mucho better!  Praise the Lord!


#12
I am thankful
for a Christmas Cottage magazine I found at
Sam's,  it is a lil pricey,  but way better buying 
it at Sam's, and it is full of Christmas inspiration,
can hardly wait to dig into it!!  lol
Lots of  festive Christmas eye candy! It is not
full of ads either..........anymore, it seems like 
most of the magazines are, and you almost feel 
like they should pay you to buy the magazine!! lol

Well, That ends my list for now.......

Until next week............

Hope you have a good weekend,

Love, Hugs, and 
Provisonal Blessings to you,
Nellie
