Welcome to Thankful Thursday - January 30, 2014

Scenes from cozy place Winter 2013


With praise and thanksgiving they sang to the LORD: 
"He is good; his love to Israel endures forever." 
And all the people gave a great shout of praise
 to the LORD, because the foundation
 of the house of the LORD was laid.
Ezra 3:11


Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope you are staying warm if you are in
this new polar vortex.
Wow, yall having really been getting a
workover this Winter for sure!

Course, we know it is because of all
the darn global warming!  lol
and if you are not in the polar vortex
I am sure you are probably doing fine
weather wise,  but hope all is well
with all of you,  where ever you are.

It has been a crazy week here,  warm
then rainy and cold for a few days. 
Today it is 56 degrees but tomorrow 
will be 74 and then over the weekend
and next week in the 80's.  
Told you it was crazy!!.
We are doing well otherwise.

So on with my list...................

#1

I am thankful

to have my house almost done for the

Winter Season.  I have come to love
the Winter Season as well,  as it truly
has a beauty all it's own.

#2

I am thankful

that my SIL Jerry made it home safe

and sound from Texas and was able to

get safely home from the airport since it 

was heavily snowing in Asheville.

Also glad they made it back and forth

to work the next day safely too, since
they are not used to driving in snow.

#3

I am thankful

for all the neat snow pictures Dee sent me

yesterday,  so pretty............nice to sort

of be able to enjoy it with her. 

#4

I am thankful

for a warm, snuggly, cozy bed to sleep

in especially when it is colder in Florida,

course, I am thankful for my bed all the

time,  but when it is cold out,  it makes 

me think of homeless people and wonder

how they survive, and how awful it must

be to have no bed to sleep in......so sure

makes me more thankful for mine.

#5

I am thankful

that we have all the Christmas stuff tucked

away safely till next year,  and just about to
take all the Winter decorating boxes back out
 into the garage.  It is About time...............lol

#6

I am thankful

for how well our Young Married's class went.

It went about as good as it could go,  so we

were  all ecstatic about that.  We have a nice
group, and from what we heard think we will
 probably get a few more couples this Sunday.

#7

I am thankful

for an encouraging note we got from one of

our students to be this morning,  she was

sick last week and couldn't come but plans

to come next week.  It was just so thought-

ful and sweet.

#8
I am thankful
for a really good movie we saw last night
called "Ace of Cards",  it was about a police-
man and his K-9 training dog.  Based on
a true story.  Very Good!

#9
I am thankful
for Chudleigh's Apple Blossoms,  a great
 frozen dessert we discovered at Sam's club.
You just pop them in the microwave for 1
minute, add some frozen yogurt or ice cream
and they are awesome..............like having
apple cobbler. They are perfect for us,  
cause I don't make a lot of desserts  unless 
we are having company because with just
 the 2 of us they don't get eaten.

#10

I am thankful
that I have all the ingredients in the house
to make chili for dinner.  It is cold out and
I didn't want to go to the store but I did
want chili.........lol

#11
I am thankful
that we are gonna be having our lil
neighbor boy over tomorrow night,  he
used to come over a lot when he was 
younger,  but now he is in middle school
and we don't get to see him as much, and 
he is such a precious kid,  and when he
does see us, he says I miss coming over
so we are gonna have a pizza and game
night.  This lil guy  has been thru a lot of 
stuff no child should have to go through
unfortunately.  But I praise God that he
has a grandmother who cares about him.
That is who he lives with.


#12
I am thankful
that Scott and Megan will be able to come
over for dinner on Sat. evening,  I just
realized yesterday that they have not
been here since Christmas,  other than
to drop the baby off or pick her up.
Either someone was sick,  or Scott was
out of town,  or something else going on.
So it is time for a get together.....lol


Just had to come back and add #13
cause it just really gave me a warm fuzzy,
and encouraged my heart.


#13
I am thankful
that people were using facebook to help
people that were stranded in the Atlanta
snow storm,  what a wonderful thing,
and praise the Lord for the lady who
was so wise to set it up.  People were
rescued or at least given hot food and
coffee or snacks........so neat!
That is our real America!! 

Well,  there you have it................


So glad you could stop in,  and hope
you have some thankfuls to add to
the comment list.  


Take Care and Have a Good Friday
and a Wonderful Weekend,

Love, Hugs and
 Cozy Warm Blessings to ya,

Nellie
