Happy Valentine's Day & Thankful Thursday February 14, 2013

             
The Greatest Love of All Times

   For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only
    son, that whosoever, believes in him, shall not perish but
                                have everlasting life.

                                          John 3:16

        Happy Valentine's Day

                Sweet Peas

So how has your day been so far??

Spreading any love around yet or 

having any spread on you yet??? 

I sure hope so.

Some people hate Valentine's Day, but I say, hey, any 

opportunity to spread some love around sounds like 

a good thing to me!!  Just one more thing to celebrate

as well...........today we need to celebrate more than

ever.......as it helps us to overcome all the bad news.

Anybody agree with me on that one???  lol

So Today I am thankful for

1.  Valentine's Day,  we always look forward to that.

and usually I either make a special dinner or we get 
takeout from either Olive Garden or Carrabbas and 
then watch our favorite Romantic comedy, "You've got

Mail".............spells fun for us.........we prefer not to

fight the crowds,  course,  Daytona has bike week

and everywhere for miles around is crazy........lol
So tonight is gonna be a Carrabbas night for us.

2. Those delectable Chocolate chips cookies I got in

the mail on Tuesday. Am limiting myself to 2 a day,

so they last longer............lol

3.. Some lovely miniature pinky/peach colored azaleas 

hubby brought me on Tuesday night.  I have made my 
kitchen look like spring for a few days anyway.  Cause
the azaleas want last long in the house, so will need to
get them outside and planted  before too long.

4.  Papa John's pizza for din din last night.  We had

planned to grill out,  but it poured,  so we improvised,
and their pizza is always great..............

5.  Dayspring ecards,  they are free,  and I love 

sending them to friends and family, and also love
getting them...........just a nice thing!


























6.  the new series we are doing in our Sunday
School class by Andy Stanley again.  It is called
The Monster within",  very humorous but also very
interesting and full of truth.


7.  my lil neice who took a fall on her bike and
 broke her femur leg bone this week.  She had 
 to have surgery as she had what is called
 a spiral break, and they did a relatively new 
 procedure but they say it should heal and be 
stronger than her other leg that was not broken. 
Wow, hope that is really true.  They are thankful
that this was the only problem cause she was
sort of thrown off her bike with such force it
could have been way worse.


8. For email,  as it is so wonderful to be able
 to send out Sweet Valentine messages to my
 family and friends this morning,  and it is such
an  easy way to keep in touch on normal days.


9.  the fact, that my husband loves his job so much,
 that is a tremendous blessing in and of itself,  as
some people go to work daily hating their jobs.
That has to just be awful....................


10.  Dee coming over Monday to do my hair, and 
  getting to visit one on one,  and also she brought me
  this gorgeous silver and white bowl.  She had borrowed
  a crystal bowl to put dip in for Megan's shower and
  accidently  broke it,  if she had told me I would have
  said no big deal, as I have rarely used it and not
  even sure where I got it,  but loved the new one so
  much I am glad she broke it!!   lol
  It is also larger so will probably get used a lot more.
  Will probably show it to you next week,  in a white
  Wed. post.

11.  a  young boy who lives near us with his grandparents.

  He is just the sweetest and most loving  lil guy and he is
  now in middle school,  and still sweet as ever.  We have
  known him since he was about  5, I would say, and he has 
  just  been thru such horrendous things in his life, it just
  breaks your heart, but he is amazing...........and precious.


12.  some yard work we got done yesterday on hubbies
   lunch break.  We have woods all around us,  and they
   are really encroaching on our house  more and more,  
   So they are in dire need of being cut back, and we 
   found it was much easier than we thought it would be,
   so made quite a bit of progress in a very short time,
   and the yard trash workers took it all away this morning,
   and there was quite al ot.. So very happy about that!


   Hope you all have a really Wonderful
      and Fun-Filled Valentine's Day!


   Don't forget to let  your Family and
  Friends know much you love them.....


  Love & hugs, appreciate you Sweet Friends,
         Thanks for coming by..............
