Welcome to Thankful Thursday - June 6, 2013

 2nd Sunrise captured @ the beach

 May the peoples praise you, O God;

may all the people praise you.

May the nations be glad and sing for joy,

for you rule the people justly, and

guide the nations of the earth.

Psalm 67:3-4

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Am running a lil late .............

as you can see!

Hope you are having a wonderful day

 and hope you are not in the path of the

 tropical storm.  

It has rained here all week, but today the sun is finally shining, 

and it is still nice and breezy,  so I have been sitting outside

 reading and drinking coffee, and then came in to have some

breakfast....a smoothie, cheese sticks and rice crackers.

Fit the bill...........while I perused a new issue of Summer

Cottage I got for Mother's Day.  It is my 2nd time to look

at it, but seems like the first.time..........

I really enjoy these seasonal magazines. 

Thought I would share another sunset we took pics of

while on vacation.......please indulge me,  it is like reliving

vacation again...................lol

I will let the rest speak for itself........................

#1

I am thankful

for fresh clean sheets,  I love the feel of them,

and there is nothing like getting into bed when

they have just been changed.

Physically delicious!

#2

I am thankful

for the gift of prayer.  Because sometimes

when things are out of our control it is the one

and only thing we have,  but really it is the best

 thing, because we know who is really in control,

 and that is truly a gift that helps are own hurting 

and worried hearts.

#3

I am thankful

for vinegar cause it is inexpensive and great for 

all sorts of things like cutting the hard water buildup

 on the shower tiles, cleaning the coffee pot,  iron,

 or dishwasher or for putting in the rinse water to 

soften clothes just to name a few.

#4

I am thankful

for the love that my hubby has for our children

and our new grand-daughter.  He is just so 

cute with her,  and would do anything for her,

just like he did with our kids.

#5

I am thankful

that we only had a Tropical Storm off the coast 

of Florida rather than a hurricane. Course, I know

 sometimes they can be bad too,  so hoping that is 

not the case with this one.  So am praying to that end.

#6

I am thankful

for my daughter, and for the wise words that she 

sometimes speaks to me when I really need to hear

 them.  She is a true friend.....

#7
 I am thankful
for a quick resolution to a family situation we had.
God is so good!!

#8
I am thankful
that one of hubbies Father's Day gifts arrived
today,  sooner than I expected,  so that is always
nice,  so I'm not wondering is it gonna get here
on time...........lol

Update: I went ahead and gave it to him early.
  It was oatmeal raisen cookies from Tate's 
Bake shop!
He loved them...............Cause they are delish! 

Thanks Suz for putting me on to these great
 cookies, they are really a fun treat for special 
occasions.

#9
I am thankful
for all the rain we have gotten in the last 2 wks.,
cause our yard looks so lush and green,  and
because our water bill will be much better this
month,  it was 4x the amount it usually is......
 last month.

  Now if we could just get a dry day so we could
 mow it!!  lol
Think today might just be the day!! 

#10
I am thankful
that it is so nice and cool outside, and that last week I
decided to put 2 chairs from our back porch onto our
front porch, as we got to sit out there for awhile last night. 
 It was very nice to be able to enjoy the front yard for a
 nice change of pace.

The sun was getting so bright it made everything 
else look dark.


#11
I am thankful
for a movie a friend of mine told me about
some time ago,  and we just got it from Netflix
and it was so good.  It is called "The Help",  it
really shows how people can think they are so
much better than other people.  It was a very
heartwarming movie, and shows how people
should be treated vs how people should not
be treated.  I have seen that many times just
going out to eat and how people treat servers
and stuff,  like they aren't  people or something.
They don't acknowlege them, or thank them.
I find it very odd myself, but a very good 
reminder to be careful how we treat anyone,
we come in contact with.

#12
I am thankful
that is was still cool and breezy this morning,
so I sat out front and drank coffee and finished
reading a novel  that Sue over at I need Mom
blog suggested to me.  It was great,  and I
will probably get some of her other books.
The author is Denise Hildreth Jones and the
title of the book is "Secrets over Sweet Tea".

Very enjoyable book, and I must say,
Thanks so much Sue for recommending
it to me.............she is the same Sue that
put me on to the cookies.............she has
great recommendations on her blog all
the time,  so if you have never visited her
you might want to check her out.
Just click here!

Well, that is a rap as they say...............

Glad you could stop by,  and totally look
forward to hearing from ya,

Have a super Duper Weekend!

Love, Hugs,  and
Special Sunrise Blessings,

Nellie
