Welcome to Thankful Thursday - August 22, 2013

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, 
continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him,
 strengthened in the faith as you were taught, 
and overflowing with thankfulness.
Colossians 2:6 and 7

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope it has been a nice sunny week
where ever you are.

Cause it has done nothing but rain here most of
the week,  and my mood today has matched the
weather!!   Altho not gloomy but rainy!   lol

So will let the post do the talking!!

#1

I am thankful
to be feeling so much better after being sick most of
 last week.

#2

I am thankful

that we have been asked to start a Young Married's

 Ministry at our church.  We love to teach on marriage

and we love working with young couples so it is a

perfect fit.  We are suppose to start in September
sometime,  I think.  Still working out the details.

#3

I am thankful

that the Lord knows our concerns and our needs

before we do even.  This class had been in the

talking stages for a few months now, but now that 

Dee and Jerry are moving we were concerned

about it maybe being hard to take off to go see

them when we wanted to,  but the Lord has

raised up another couple to work with us,  and

they are at the same station in life and have the

exact same concerns as us,  so this way there

will always be someone here to teach.

So nothing to worry about!!  What a Blessing.

We also found these lovely hydrangeas for my kitchen table.
#4
I am thankful

for the great time we had for Dee's birthday
on Sunday, and thankful for the ideas and the
 green mini carnations the Lord helped us find.

Birthday table decorations reconfigured for a new centerpiece
for our dining room table for a nice change.

#5
I am thankful
for shrimp and scallops,  they are one of Dee's favorites
and mine as well, and what we had for dinner on Sunday
marinated in a lime, garlic, cilantro sauce.  Think every-
one really enjoyed the seafood.
Delicious!!

#6
I am thankful
our Senior Pastor is back.  He was gone for 5
weeks in July and August as he is studying for
his doctorate degree.  Everyone did a great
job of filling in but we really missed his great
preaching............

#7
I am thankful
for the nice time we had with Megan and Brooklyn,
on Wed. Evening, they stayed and had dinner with us
 since Scott was out of town, and thankful he arrived
home today safe and sound from Maryland.

How could I resist putting a pic of our lil darling..........


#8
I am thankful
for a sweet day with Dee today.  We had a big
breakfast and just talked and talked till she had
to leave for work at 3 p.m.  We are gearing up for
 the big day......They are leaving for N.C. on
the 4th of September,  and we got to keep Rosie
for a few days too.  So loved that too.

#9
I am thankful
that a lady that showed them some houses and
apts. in Asheville,  that Dee really hit it off with
 called her today and told her that when she comes
 up to call her so they can go to lunch and hang out, 
 cause she said she would have a lot of time on her
 hands soon with her children going back to school,
  and that she was having a hard time as she just
moved to a new place too.   I really believe this 
is the Lord making Dee feel like she at least has
one friend up there.  
My Mother's heart was so happy about that!

#10
I am thankful
for Marty over at a stroll thru life,  who told me
where to find some buffalo check tablecloths
that I was planning to cover my dining room
chairs with, but now think I might use them for
curtains in my computer/work area.  Thanks
Marty,  for sharing your information with me,
this was an awesome deal!  So appreciate it.

#11
I am thankful
for that precious christian lady at the school in Georgia,
that had the gunman on campus on Wednesday.
The Lord really used her to head off  what could have
 been a huge catastrophy. God really poured out his
 grace of courage on her for sure.  She is like a hero
of the faith...............

May the Lord Bless Her Immensely!

With Posterized affect

#12

 I am thankful
that I have been crying most of the day, but for all really
 good and sweet reasons. The Lord has been doing some 
really neat things...............and I am so grateful for that.



Well Sweet Peas.................that is
 my list for today!  Bet you might
have a few of your own,  so why
not share them with us.

We'd really love to hear them.

Hope you have a lovely Friday
and weekend with those you love.

Love,  Hugs and
August Blessings,

Nellie
