Thankful Thursday Oct. 13, 2016, pics of Fall's Past #7

He is my loving God and my fortress, 
my stronghold and my deliverer, 
my shield, in whom I take refuge,
Psalm 144:2


Morning Sweet Friends,

Hope this find those of you who were in
 the path of hurricane Matthew having life
back to normal or at least are headed in
 that direction, and for those of you that are
 in those flooded areas or where there was 
really bad damage, you are getting the
help you need.....our hearts and prayers
 go out to you!  and for those of you who
missed the ravages of the storm....hope
this finds you well, happy and 
especially thankful.....

Think most folks that went thru the 
storm here have just been exhausted
 all week. That sure describes us any
way.  Today is the first day I have felt
 really good and am feeling more of
 a sense of normalcy again.

Just threw in some more past Fall 
pictures since it was easy!!  lol
So on with my list...............

I am thankful

#1

that hurricane Matthew is over!!

and that we and our family and

 most everyone we know came 

thru it well, other than yard debri 

and no power or  land phones.

Thank You Jesus!

#2

that the hurricane downgraded

to a Cat 3 and went further away

from the Florida coast about 16 

more miles before it hit us.
Thank You Jesus!!

#3

that we were able to get everything
 cleaned up on Sat. along with throwing 
out all the food in the fridge, that we
 couldn't fit in coolers........

#4

that Scott and Megan got their power
 back a lil before noon on Sat, so they
 invited us to come over there to stay,
so we finished our clean up and went
over there in the early afternoon, and 
stayed till Mon. at lunch time. 
Our power actually came back on
 Sun. night but our neighbors couldn't
 reach us by phone, so finally text
us, but we didn't get it till Monday
 morning. We had a fun time in spite
 of the situation, and it of course, was a
 very nice, cool and hospitable respite. 
It was nice to get to live with Scott
under the same roof again, since it
 has been awhile, and it was our first
 time with Megan and lil darling, so
it was really fun for us............

Thanks Scott and Megan!!

#5

for Electricity that runs everything in
 our life practically!!

Once again, nothing like doing

without it to make you really

really appreciate it.

#6

for all the Power Cos. that are

working hard to restore every

ones power as quickly as possible.
Last time we were without power
for a week, this time just 31/2 days.
 As we were driving to Scott and 
Megans we saw a caravan of 
power trucks coming into our
area.......it just made my cry to
see that help coming to us. God
Bless those men who put their
lives in harms way to help all
of us............

#7
that Dee and Jerry got to take their 
anniversary trip after all. They wound
up taking Rosie (their lil dog) with
 them since we couldn't get there and
 they knew no one to take care of her.
 Their plane arrived safe and sound
 today on Monday afternoon and
 Rosie did great................


#8
for ice and coolers that we were
able to keep food cool in...altho
we had to throw out most of what
we had in the fridge, at least we
 had what we needed to get us thru
 the early days after the storm.

#9
for flashlights, candles, our storm 
radio, cell phones and gas grill.
Don't even want to think about
what it wold have been like 
without them.


#10

so very much, for Bible verses, and
songs about Jesus that helped to keep
 me calm during the raging of loud
and very scary sounding winds 
during the storm. My fav verse
that has helped me so many times
in so many different situations
is...........Isaiah 26:3 KJV

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
 whose mind is stayed on thee:
 because he trusteth in thee.


Just memorize it....and then when you 
have a scary situation quote it over and 
over again to yourself, as the quoting 
keeps your mind stayed on HIM............
and peace will come.

#11
for those who emailed, texted,
phoned, and left comments about
 our safety during the storm. Always
precious to know there are people
who care about you.......as well as
your family..........

#12

most of all for God's watch care
and protection over us and all those
we hold dear.........

Well, this has been our week at 
Cozy Place.

Glad you could stop in.......

Hope you have a really really
 good rest of the week!!


Love, Hugs, and
 middle of October Blessings
(Already - can you believe it??)
