Welcome to Thankful Thursday - October 10, 2013

 Let us be thankful, then, because
 we receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken. 
Let us be grateful and worship God in a way 
that will please him, with reverence and awe; 
Hebrews 12:28
Good News Translation

   Hello There Sweet Peas,

Hope this week has treated you 
very well..........

It has treated me well for sure, as you will read
 below.  Haven't gotten a lot done today work
 wise, as I have been on the phone with about 4 
different folks today,  and have had to do some
 emailing as well, but hey, like Gary Smalley says,
 "Life is really all about relationships and all the
 rest is just details."  How True that is..........
or at least it should be how we live............
So today has really been all about relationships,
now I feel better about all the stuff I didn't get
 done today!! lol
Hey, We all need a reminder, ya know....lol

Anyway, hope my thankful list might become 
a reminder to you, just in case you need it,
 about how blessed we who live in this country
 really are, compared to the rest of the world.
 So hope it is a blessing to you, as we all
need perspective some times.

 Here we go.................

#1

I am thankful

for the sweet time we got to have with 
Dee last weekend, and it is  always great
to get together with the family.  We look
 forward to going to visit Dee sometime
maybe in November.

All pics are scenes from cozy place in 2010.

I am thankful

that we are dipping into the mid 60's at night

right now,  still in the mid to upper 80's in the 

daytime tho, but the mornings are just 
delightful...........and we feel the promise
of Fall weather......yeah!!

#3

I am thankful

that we got our porch cleaned after all these

months and months of rain where we wanted

to deep clean it but couldn't.  At least a couple

of times a years it needs to be washed down

 with the hose, and scrubbed a little, still gotta 

work on getting rid of some stains but we are

in progress, as it has rained here again most

of this week.............Hoping we get to 
finish it up on Saturday.

#4
I am thankful
that my Sil Susan was able to come down
yesterday afternoon for awhile,  and give
me a hand with Brooklyn,  since hubby had
to go into work all day.  Nice to have a 2nd
pair of hands at times.  

Note:  Brooklyn is starting to crawl, just
needs practice, but doing pretty well.
So cute!!

#5
I am thankful
for a precious young lady, named Jennifer that
 still goes to our church after all these years. She 
and Dee grew up being friends, and I, being friends
 with her Mom since they were both about 2 yrs.
old.........she has turned out so well, and is just a
 beautiful young lady inside and out. I had a phone
 conversation with her this morning and was just 
so blessed by it.

#6
I am thankful
for some things I learned out of that con-
versation with her this morning as well.

#7

I am thankful

for a movie we once again got from Netflik

called "Undaunted", it is about the early life

of John McDowell.  Wow, want to see how a 
life is changed by Christ,  this is your movie.

Amazing Story, and amazing what the Lord

had in store for him and how He has used

him all these years to help others. He is
actually a very well known man in Christian
cirlces, he once was an athiest and hated
God, but set out to prove their was no
God.........and the story shares all that.
Really really good.

#8

I am thankful

for the "Good News" of the gospel of the  Lord 

Jesus Christ. Oh How He loves You and Me,

so much so, that He was willing to be mistreated,

misunderstood, beaten, brutalized and tortured

for our sake to save us, from ourselves and from 
hell, because he knew we need a savior whether 
we realize it or not.  I can't even begin to imagine
 where I would be without Him in my life........
I can honestly say, it would be no where good,
and even tho my background or my hubbies
 wasn't quite as bad as John McDowell's......we
did have some of those things in our homes of
origin and he has done amazing things in our
 lives too. Number one would be He saved our 
marriage, so we know only too well that He
 is able, and desires to give us an abundant
 life, meaning a good life full of love, joy,
 peace, patience, kindness, goodness and 
self-control, and even the desires of our
 hearts, if we delight in Him.

So I love to see stories that show His grace 
and work in the lives of His children.

His Grace is truly Amazing!
