Welcome to Thankful Thursday - December 27, 2012

 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared
 with the angel, praising God and saying,  "Glory to God in the 
highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests." 

Luke 2:13-14 

Greetings Sweet Peas,

Have sure missed you guys!  and hope

 this finds you all recovered and refreshed

 from all the flurry of Christmas activity.

I am feeling great today since I did zip, zero, nada

 yesterday!!  So much  fun not to have to do anything but 

what you want to every once in awhile.  We slept in, had

nice brunch leftovers, so no cooking, only reheating,

and did some reading and wii playing and watched a 

Christmas movie, and had whoppers for dinner!!  lol

So All play and no work makes me a fun and happy

Girl..................lol
update:
and I pretty much did the same thing today accept
I did blog a bit and read some blogs.  So that was
fun................and different since I have not been able
to for some time now.  Fun catching up!!

Well, guess I had better get on with 

Thankful Thursday.

#1

I am  first of all thankful

for whose birthday it really was....for without Him in

my life I would be soooo lost.  I am greatly thankful

for the greatest gift of all times,

the Lord Jesus!!

(Some christmas scenes from my house)


#2

I am thankful

for another really great Christmas Season.  We keep

 thinking they can't get any better but they always do......

I think that is because with Jesus the best is always

yet to come......................

#3

I am so thankful

that we were able to see all of our local family on

Christmas day,  even if for a short time with some

of them.  Got to spend most of the day with Scott

and Megan and have dinner on Christmas eve,
  which was a delightful time and then they did get
 to drop by for a short while Christmas day, on their
 way in between houses, which was great.  Dee and
 Jerry were able to be here Christmas morning to 
open gifts like we normally do,and for brunch and 
was able to stay until 3 p.m., and we all had a fun
 time as well, and Susan my SIL was able to be here
 the whole day, other than a few hours that we all
 decided to take a nap,  and then we finished off  the
 day with a Lasagna dinner and watching Polar Express

We made a day of it, so it was a warm,  sweet and
 wonderful day.

#4

I am thankful

that  at a certain point during the season I was

starting to feel a lil panicked because I was so

behind on everything,  and a question came to

me that I think was generated by the Lord, and

the question was.............

Have you ever not been ready for Christmas???

and I had to say  No Lord,  I have to say I have

never not been ready for Christmas,  and then

I was able to just relax in it all.

#5

I am thankful

for the blessing of hubby being able to be off

at Christmas time, he will be home for 13 days,  

21/2 will be working days, but the rest is just time

 off.  That has been a special blessing to our family

 for years now, and we so enjoy it,  and it is such a 

great refresher for my hubby too.  A vacation

 without having to pack or go anywhere.................

unless we want to......

#6

I am thankful

for heating in our homes,  as it is chilly here this

morning,  and it feels so good!!  and if you live

up north I know you are thankful for it even more.

#7

I am thankful

for all the lovely cards and gifts that I received

for christmas from family and friends.  Such

a blessing......................

#8

I am thankful

that Megan continues to do well with her

pregnancy,  course, there are still those normal 

issues of being pregnant  to contend with, some

worse than others, bless her heart.  she looks

amazing tho,  and so cute,  was just wishing

I had taken a pic of her on Christmas so I could

 show you.  She is at the 8th month mark now.....

 expect the next few months will fly by, at least

I hope so for her sake.

#9

I am thankful

for some new books, magazines, wii games
and a kenny G Cd,  we got for Christmas.  
They should give us hours of entertainment.

#10
I am thankful
that my Sil Susan's house is almost back
together again since the flood she had back
on November 5th,  it has been a bit of a trial
for her to say the least,  so know she will be
more than happy to see it come to an end.

update:  just got off the phone with her and
they are completely finished, and she is a
happy camper..............



#11
I am thankful
that a blog friend came by today that I haven't
heard from in ages,  and could not remember
her blog name to save my life..................so
now we can keep in touch again on a regular
basis,  so happy about that Sue!!

#12
I am thankful
that Dee and Jerry offered to come over this coming
 Sat. to give hubby a hand putting up a new fan they
got us to match our new light fixture in the dining
 room, can hardly wait to see it up.  

Well, that is my list for this week,  I really could
add more,  but  know it is long enough now.


Hope you have a wonderful weekend
and 
a Very Happy and Joyous New Year!


Love, Hugs and
New Years Blessings to you and yours,
Nellie
