Welcome to Thankful Thursday - May 29, 2014

Seven times a day I praise you

for your righteous laws.

Great peace have they who love

your law, and nothing can make

them stumble.

Psalm 119: 164-165

Greetings Sweet Friends,

So how ya been doing??

Hope your doing well and

having some fun these last

days of May.  Guess those

of you who have school age

kiddies must have them out

of school by now or about to

 get out, and looking forward 

to a fun Summer ahead.

I always loved that time of year with 

my kids...cause we have relaxed, laid

back, unscheduled, fun times.....we

have some great memories!!

Sorry I am running so late here but 

our daughter got in yesterday, so we

had one of those summer days here

yesterday and it was delightful. It was

just so great to have her here as it

has been a 2 1/2 months now.  Got a

lot done this week, house wise so can

 concentrate on making some cards today, 

 since Dee is gone for the day visiting with a

 friend before she has to leave for a family

 reunion, then she will spend the rest of the

day with Scott, Megan and Brooklyn. Then

she will be back later on tonight and we

will get to visit a lil tonight then tomorrow

morning until the rest of the family comes

over...........should be another fun day.

We have all been looking forward to her

coming, so very excited she is here finally.

Cause she was coming for Mother's day

then it got postponed..............so we

are very grateful she got to come!!

Hope your week has been a good one

and will tell you about mine as you read.

I am thankful.....

#1

for a restful and relaxing Memorial Day

weekend,  just the 2 of us.  

#2

that we got bushes trimmed back away

from our house in the side yard cause

 hurricane season is a coming!  lol

#3

that hubby has helped me make some

decisions about my card business,  and

that I have been working on it once

again.........was just kind of stymied

there for a while.  Guess cause life

was just happening...........

#4

for a wonderful story and video I saw on yahoo

on Wed. - a really great thing in this day and time.

A 7yr. old boy bullied someone,  and his Mom

found out and made it clear this was unacceptable

behavior,  and he apologized to the other boy, and

told him how had he felt,  and he said he felt so

ashamed of what he did,  he asked his parents

if he could start and anti-bullying club at school,

and of course they said yes,  and the first person

he invited was the other lil boy, and they are friends

now.  He also stated that his parents, church and

boy scouts help him make good decisions.  It also

showed him reading his bible.  Priceless

We need a gazillion more parents and children

 like that.

My own Mom was a bullied child and she made

it very clear to us that we were never to make

fun of anyone,  and I did my best to pass that

along to my children..............

Anyway,  think you will enjoy watching it.

that my lovely daughter made it in safe and 

sound this morning..........and that it was

so good to lay eyes on her!!  lol

Actually that was yesterday morning,
had my post 2/3 of the way done!

#6

that a friend of mines son, finally got a new

 job, we have all been praying for some 

months now,  and he has had interviews 

but just nothing seemed to work out.

So we are very happy for him!

#7

that a friend who had her MRI come back
  showing  a 7mm lesion on her brain, got the
 word yesterday that everthing is fine. We were
 sooo happy to hear that as this young single Mom
 has really been thru so many really rough things 
in the last years.


#8
for so many great things that are happening
for the young woman we kept for a week last
 Oct. ...remember the one with the broken rib
 and the lil boy. She seemed to really go thru a
time of hard things and that seems to have turned
 around now, and we are just so happy for her
 and her family too.  Cause they are really a sweet
family.

#9 
for the word of God, the Bible because
it teaches us how we should live.  It really
is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our
path................we would just be wander-
ing in the wilderness without it for sure.

  #10
for some great ideas DeeAnna had for me
about my business.........She is amazing,
and is my best encourager,  I have to say.


#11
that a queaseness and uneaseness in my
stomach seems to be gone finally.  Felt
like I was trying to catch the flu or some-
thing,  but feeling much better today.
Yeahhhhhhhhh!!


#12
that I love and enjoy my family so much,
not everyone can say that....unfortunately.
And there was a time in my life as a child
growing up I couldn't say that....about the
enjoying part anyway!! but I did love them!

with posterized affect

 see that you have been by.

of Fun and Relaxation.

Love,  Hugs and
Blissful Family Bessings.
