Welcome to Thankful Thursday - April 4, 2013

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom 
that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, 
and so worship God acceptably 
with reverence and awe,
Hebrews 12:28


Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you well and happy,
and that you have had a great week.

My week has been good,  altho rather uneventful,
but that was a good thing,  as March was totally
eventful...........lol
As the picture below will attest to.......
and then their was company for a few days every
 week and looking for a car, and birthdays and 
Easter, and babysitting our new lil angel, such
pure joy!
so we kept quite busy....................
and that's just the stuff I remember!  lol

Not Complaining, Just saying !!

Well.......on with Thankful Thursday!!

#1

I am thankful

for the wonderful Easter and Birthday

celebration we had last Sunday with
the whole family.  Always great to be
together and now even more fun with
our newest family member, even if 
she is sleeping most of the time.  lol

Here is our lil darling, one day away from 4 weeks
 old.......She loves to sleep with her hand up to her face,
 think we might have to nick name her "The Thinker".
She was just sawing logs..............lol


#2

I am thankful

for the visit we had with an old friend

last week,  we had such a good time
catching up. I made him Cuban food,  as 
he  remembered me making that years
 ago when we all met.  So made it again,
 and think we all enjoyed it ..............since it

had been awhile since I made it for us too.

#3

I am thankful

for a visit with a friend here in town this

week,  as we have not seen each other

for months, so it was great to finally get

some time to catch up,  and she was

sweet to bring me a card and birthday

gift...........love how those special days

get stretched out.............

#4

I am thankful

that I found a cute blouse to go with shorts

or pants at Kohls's yesterday.  

#5

I am thankful
that we had a good rain last night and hopefully
more to come tonight,  as I am hoping it will
wash away all the pollen, since everyone is
so tired from allergies. May we be peppier
by tomorrow or the weekend!  lol

#6
I am thankful
that we finally got our bushes pruned in
our front  flower bed,  they are legistrum and
they sort of take over after a few years,  so
we have to cut them way back every few
years, and that should have been last year.
  Course, it will be awhile before they 
pop out with some leaves,  but they will 
sure be more manageable when they do.

#7
I am thankful 
for these lovely hydrangeas you are seeing
pics of here. My SIL Susan gave them to me for 
my birthday,. Hydrangeas are one of my all
time favorites, and am so hoping they grow well
 once I plant them in the ground. Scott gave me
 some pointers so hoping that will help in this 
sandy Florida soil we have.  They are really 
like the color in my header picture, but when
you take pics that look more purpley.  Not
sure that is really a word,  but works for me! 

#8
I am thankful
for all the lovely cards and gifts I received
for my birthday and the sweet thoughts
behind them.

#9
I am thankful
that Dee and Jerry's kitchen is coming out 
so well.  They decided to paint their cabinets. 
 This is really their first real project together, so
 was proud of them for even attempting it. 
Cause it is quite a job.........but everything
 they have done so far looks awesome.
She did the bottom ones in expresso and
the top ones in white,  and so far, it is really
looking great........................will try to get 
some pics for you to see when it is done.

#10
I am thankful
that we finally found a new microwave, as
 ours quit working Easter morning. We wanted
 a white one and they are very hard to find these 
days.  So had to order one online, and it want be
 here until sometime before April 15th.  Man, do
I miss it.......................lol  You don't realize how
much you use that buggar till it's gone.........

so will be very thankful when it arrives.

#11
I am thankful
for people and Pastors who can teach God's
word and just make it come alive to us, it is 
an incredible blessing to us.

#12
I am thankful
for the gift of Jesus and prayer..........because
 without Him and prayer I really don't know how
 people navigate life on this wonderful yet some-
times very discouraging planet,  and I am 
thankful that I don't have to do it 
without Him..........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well,  here's my list for the week,  hope you
have a list of your own,  and that maybe you
 will share a few of your thankfuls 
with us as well.


Thanks for your visit,  was nice to have you,
and hope you will leave a comment so I
know you were here.
