Welcome to Thankful Thursday - Sept. 19, 2013

Proclaiming aloud your praise and'
 telling of all your wonderful deeds.
Psalm 26:7


Happy Friday Afternoon 

Sweet Peas............

Just a tad late............
but you'll see why as you read.

Hope you have had a good week!

Ours has been good, a wee bit sad,
but also sweet..............

#1

I am thankful

that my guest bedroom is back to normal

and operational for company, which right

now is my daughter and her hubby.
Was my daughter and hubby!  lol

#2

I am thankful

for a really fun evening for the whole family

over at Scott and Megans last night.  We 

ate barbecue, and sat around the table and

talked and laughed at the antics of our lil

darling,  she is just such a riot anymore.

Then we watched lil miss get a bath and get

 ready for beddie bye,  and then watched 

some Duck Dynasty. We have only seen

that once before as we don't have cable,

but it is pretty funny I have to say.

#3

I am thankful

that Dee and Jerry have made it passed

the movers and the house closing,  and I

am sure they are thankful that is all done.

They do have a new dilemma and that is

his car is in the shop and should have

been ready but the part that had been 

ordered was not the right part so they

had to reorder it, and hopefully it will get

here today,  so they can get the car fixed

and be on their way sometime tomorrow.

So if you feel so led please pray for that

to happen.....................

#4

I am thankful

to be feeling much peppier than I was

at the beginning of the week.

#5

I am thankful

for the beautiful sunny days we have

been having lately,  gorgeous skies,

still hot temps,  but this sure beats

all those cloudy and rainy days we

were having that made us wonder

if we were still living in Florida.  lol

#6

I am thankful

to see yahoo news covering some really
good news stories lately, that restore your 
faith in people.  I have read several just today,
 one about a homeless man who returned a
 backpack he found that had $40,000 + dollars
 in it, and then a man who was inspired by his
 honesty set up a fund for him and has raised 
$98,000 form the homeless man.
The other story was about a 19 year old who
worked at an ice cream place. He had a reg.
customer who was visually impaired and he
 saw the man drop $20.00 and he also saw 
the lady behind the man pick up the money, 
 so this young man confronted the lady about
giving the money back and she wouldn't so
 he told her she needed to leave,  and gave 
the older gentleman $20. of his own money. 
 What a great kid.......................

Just love hearing these kind of stories,  we
just need to hear more of those and less of
the other kind.............


#7
I am thankful
for the truth of God's word and the trials
and tribulations we have been through over
the last 33 years of walking with the Lord.
It help us to gain perspective during painful
 times....it doesn't remove the pain most of
the time,  but it sure helps to have God's
perspective and truth.

#8
I am thankful
for a really neat Christian song the Lord
reminded me of and put on my heart to send 
my daughter as she is traveling tomorrow.

You may have heard it before but it is a
great song.  It is called 
"These are the words I would say"

Listen to it here if you would like........

I am thankful
for these beauty berries that you see in my
pictures.  Beth over at the Garden Gate, 
showed some from her garden last week,
and it reminded me that we have had some
growing wild in our side yard woods the last
 few years,  so I went in search of hoping to
 find some,  and I did,  so just had to bring a
 few in.......my bathroom is the only place that
 purple looks good,  so that is where I took them. 
 I just think they are so pretty..................
and they don't need to be hidden in the woods.


These next 3 were all written this
 morning (Friday)

#10
I am thankful
that they got Jerry's car running this morning.
We were very thankful as they have to be in
 Asheville by 9 a.m. tomorrow morning, as they 
are delivering all their furniture and stuff. 
 They just left at noon, so they got the car 
done way before we expected,  
so that was such a blessing.


#11
I am thankful
my sweet daughter in love, Megan was here
 when they left, cause when I started to cry
 I was able to turn around and talk to her and
 get myself together so I could smile and wave
goodbye. Cause I didn't want to make Dee cry, 
cause she has to drive her car, and she doesn't
 need to be crying.............................
Megan also helped me remember that this 
was a good thing,  and then we got busy with
lil miss and that helped too.
So they are on their way to their new life,
and we look forward to hearing about it....
and 
we are on our way... to our new normal.


#12
I am thankful
that Dee will be coming back in 2 weeks for
an event for her best friend,  so have to say
that made it easier for all of us,  knowing
that!.............God is good all the time!


#13
I am thankful
for all of you who have prayed for us 
during this bitter/sweet experience.
We have felt the prayers.....and thank
 you from the bottom of my heart.
