Thankful Post August 18, 2016, Spring/Summer tablescape from last year

 Enter his gates with thanksgiving

 and his courts with praise;
 give thanks to him 
and praise his name.

Psalm 100:4

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope all is going well with getting
 back into the swing of things after the
 summer vacation, at least for those of you 
who just sent children to school,  and for 
those who didn't, maybe you are feeling
like me and ready to get your Fall on....

I am debating whether to have a Sunday
 School Social here in the next 2 weeks 
or to wait until later in September, I have
 a feeling later in Sept. is gonna win out,
 as I am itching to do something creative
in the house again. As it has been since 
Spring since I have done anything inside
 the house other than some tablescapes.
So think I am gonna be moving the
family room furniture around soon. lol
Which will get the ball rolling........

Thought I would share a Spring/Summer
 tablescape with you today......this was
 from last year I think!!  Maybe it will
inspire you to have one last 
Summer fling!!  lol

If you'd like.......You can click on any pic
 to enlarge them all,  for better viewing
 pleasure!


Well, on with Thankful Thursday......

I am thankful

#1

for  another fun evening with the

couple we are mentoring.  We only
have a couple more sessions to go,
and will be sorry when it is over,
as it was a real blessing to us.

#2

that 50 people showed up for a work

 day at church.  Our church is starting

 a new satellite church (which means it 

will have the same name, but will just 

be at a different location/campus than

the original church). It is in a nearby

 town and they are trying to get the

 new campus church building ready to

 be up and running by January 2017.

 It is in need of quite a bit of reno 

and updating, and because  so many

 people came to help, they got all of

 the painting done and ready for new 

carpeting to be laid some time in Sept., 

and got rid of a lot of junk or unneeded

 things, as well as many other things

 done. It was only for 3 hrs, but was

 fun and neat to see kids from the 

youth group, and ages of people all 

the way up to Sr. citizens all working

 together for a common and good goal.

They will probably need a few more

 works days,  but as the old saying

 goes and is so true.... "many hands

 make the work light".

#3

for the great job of teaching from the
young couple we are working with,
 they have begun teaching in the young
 married's class to help us, because the
 couple we are working with now, will
 be leaving us in Jan. to go to the new 

campus, we are sad to say, as we have
 all worked so well together, but we also
 know it is the Lord's will, and are very 
grateful for this new young couple.
and of course, wish our soon to be
former co-workers much success in
their new endeavors.....

#4

for Hormel "Natural Choice" Bacon.

 (NO artificial ingredients, no nitrites,

 or nitrates or hormones, and it tastes

 delicious, even after we freeze it.) We

can only find it at Walmart and some

times Publix,  but it is more expensive

there. Our lil darling loves bacon and

we feel good about giving this to her

as it is a very healthy and good bacon

which is also heart healthy.

Disclaimer: I get no kickbacks of any

kind for this Bacon endorsement. 

We discovered it years ago and it is

delicious and a perfect product for 

heart patients, or anyone who wants

to eat more healthy. So just like it

so much I wanted to share th

at.

#5

Dee and Jerry made another trip
and back to Charleston over the
weekend, and are home again
safe and sound.

#6
that Dee and Jerry found a house
they love.....and are already under
contract, that way they can move in
 as soon as they close on their home
 in Asheville, which will really
 be nice for them.

#7
that lil darling loved preschool
so much, and wasn't eager to
leave cause she was playing. 
You always know they like it
for sure, when they aren't 
ready to leave............lol

#8
for take out din din from
 Carrabbas this week. We
love their food......so good!

#9
for all the rain we have had
in the last few weeks,  our
yard is hap hap happy, and
so are we....since it means 
a much lower water bill.  lol

#10
that Megan and lil darling got to
stay for pizza and salad with us on 
Wed. night, since Scott was out of
 town.  It has been awhile....so that
 was quite nice.
Also, for a really fun day with
lil one.........cause she always
 makes us smile and laugh..........

#11
for Kemp's "Chocolate Caramel
Brownie" frozen yogurt.  Taste's
great in a sugar cone, and very
lo- cal,  if you just eat one scoop.

#12
for several neat things I felt like the
 Lord showed me today as I was 
watching 2 different christian
tv shows........Love when He
does that!!

Thanks for dropping in.......

Have a lovely Friday and
weekend with your family/friends.

and

Keep your light shining Brightly!!

Love, Hugs, and
Mid August Blessings,

Nellie
