With Posterized Affect

I will praise you, O LORD, 

with all my heart; 

I will tell of all your wonders. 

I will be glad an rejoice in you;

 I will sing praise to your name, 

O Most High.

Psalm 9:1-2

Greetings Sweet Friends,

So how are things with you??
Can you believe we are half way
thru January already............

It was just pouring rain earlier, was
like a summer storm a 11:00 but now,
 at 2:40 it is nice and sunny and 72
 degrees or so.  The sun is beckoning
me outside.........and I probably need
to go.....need that Vitamin D....lol

Well, I went out and the sun lasted
about 8 mins. then went in due to
cloud cover, it is back out now, but 
there is just so many clouds...think
 it is gonna be in and out all day.
 oh well......
maybe tomorrow!!  lol

Woke up with a headache and sore
throat and am now running a temp.
Trying to count it all Joy! 

Was hoping to get the rest of our
Christmas stuff down this weekend,
but not feeling like it now........
Would not mind it at all.... if some 
of you feel led to pray this would
 clear up really soon..........it would
be really appreciated...........

I had prepared some fun Photo Shop
affect pictures with leftover pics
from my earlier tablescape. It is
fun playing with those if you have
never tried it.........hope you enjoy 
them..............


Well, on with my Thankful Post......

I am thankful

#1

for a really sweet video I saw on yahoo this

week,  where a bride and groom went to the

hospital to see his (I think) 91 yr. old grand-

mother (who had broken her ankle).  They

did this on the way to their wedding all

 dressed up so she could see them, and take 

pictures with her.  Very Sweet, and very

lovely in this day and age of disrespect

for the elderly.  Wish I could have put

the video on here,  but couldn't find a
 way, did put it on facebook tho, but
 maybe you saw it.....hope so........
it was very touching.

#3

that the Lord gave me a word for this year.

Have heard other ladies saying what word

the Lord gave them for the year, and I have

never done that before, so began praying

and felt the Lord gave me the word......

~Perseverance~  

so looking forward to what he has to 

teach me...............

#4

for spending the day with my daughter on 

Monday via the phone..........we had not

talked for a week as she has had company

and was working before that, so we made

a day of it......

as the old phone commercials use to

say "it is the next best thing to being

there".  lol

I am so hoping they will soon develop

teleporting..........lol

for a cool day to air the house out

and fresh in here..............

Love it~~

#6

for some homemade fruit cake our neighbor

across the street brought us.  Now I am not

 an avid fruit cake lover but I do like a slice

 or two now and again......but have not had 

any for years.  Claxton used to make great

 fruit cake years ago, but the last time I had

 it I didn't like it at all,  way too dry! YUK!

But my neighbor's was absolutely to die

 for.........It was full of frut and nuts just

 the way I like it, and then she chops the

 fruit and nuts in smaller pcs, than most

 fruit cakes which really made it so

 delicious.

Now this is a fruit cake I would definitely

 consider making!!

Hubby is not a fruit cake lover at all....

but he loved it too...........We are secretly

hoping she will make another one and

think of us.........lol

We are also grateful for her thoughtful-

ness in bringing us some, as we had a

 conversation about fruit cake just a few

days before that.............so it was such

a lovely delicious surprise!

that our new rug arrived last Sat. when
 I was sick.  So since I was sleeping in, 
 hubby received it and had already 
unpacked it and had it on the floor, so
it was a nice surprise when I got up.

We are both thrilled with it....it looks

great and it is a lil bigger, thicker,

lighter and more modern than our 

previous one, so we  both really

 love the new look.

#8

that I found a chart I had made and
 stored to keep me on track with things
 I need to do just to keep me healthy
 and fit. It just seems like as you get
 older there are more and more things 
you need to do, and you sometimes
 really feel like it can consume your 
whole day, but not really, and I have
found the stuff I write down gets 
done, not  always that day but sooner
than normal, but the things on my
chart are pretty much daily things, 
anywhere from flossing, Vitamins,
 water, exercise and how much 
protein I eat a day............

Think it was a God incidence rather
 than a coincidence since I was praying
for Him to help me make a schedule so
 I can be more organized with my time.
I made the chart last year and was doing
 great when I was using it but somehow
 got off track.......and forgot all about my
chart......so it was a good find, and
I highly recommend it, cause if you
like to check things off a list you
will love it,  just gives you more
stuff to check off..........lol

hubby brought home bagels from

 Panera tonight.  Asaigo Cheese and

 Everything Bagels, my 2 fav bagels, 

Can't wait for breakfast tomorrow!!

I have been craving them........

#10

for a pretty good Presidential Debate 

last night. There were a few skirmishes

 but overall a very good time of really 

getting to hear what the candidates

stand for...........which of course, is

suppose to be the whole purpose of

 a debate to begin with.

Thought fox News did a great job.

#11

for the way the Lord guides and directs

 us through circumstances at times.  I
received an email with a video from
 "Marriage and Family Life Today" which
 seemed like it was perfectly designed for
 the problem we are dealing with in a
 counseling situation We had planned
 something else but when we watched
 the video we both just looked at each
 and knew this was what we needed to 
show them.  Love Gods directions,
he always knows what He is doing.

that my son was so thoughtful and 

brought his Dad coffee,  and his

Mom a surprise Chai tea from 

Starbuck's when he came to pick

up lil darling on Wed.

A sweet surprise that was greatly

appreciated.
