Thankful Thursday November 10, 2016, Fall living room #3

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope you are doing well and feeling
encouraged in spite of this past week,
as I know it has been quite a week.

Know I am quite late, but just been
living life.............

Thought I would add the photos of
 the last of my Fall decorations in the
 living room...........

and 
 I am just gonna get on with it
as all my thankfuls are already
done, just need to get it
 posted.......lol

I am thankful

#1
for our Veterans who have given
their lives for our freedom and
for the Veterans and their families
 who have sacrificed so much to
fight for our freedoms that we 
have.  Where would our nation
be without them. We are grate-
ful to you from the bottom of
our heart.....and we pray that
the Lord blesses you in 
Amazing ways.
Thank You for what you did
or what you are doing now
for us and our nation.

Happy Veteran's Day to You!!

#2
for the pleasant surprise last
Friday of a friend dropping
by unexpectedly and spending
some time with me.  Was nice
to catch up and great to know
she is doing so well.

#3

for a fun night out shopping

for our son's birthday and for

our anniversary. Then dinner at 

a new to us, Mexican restaurant

called Habaneros, however,

we weren't overly impressed 
with the food,  but it was a
 nice change, at least.  lol

#4

for a fun time with the whole

 family on Sunday as we

 celebrated Scott's birthday. He

is now Jack Benny age!  lol

Some of you will get that... but

others that are younger probably

not!!  lol

#5

for 46 years of marriage with

my sweet hubby.  Could never

imagine my life without him.

Here we are  in 1970

Just in case you might be interested
 in reading our story. 

Click here for Part 1 How we met

Click Here for Part 2  How are 
marriage was saved


It was written
7 yrs. ago................when I first
started blogging........not much
has changed accept both our
children are grown and married
and we have a 3+ yrs. old grand-
daughter that we adore and get to
watch every Wednesday. We are
still living in the same city, and
the same home, going to the same 
church and still working with 
married couples, and enjoying
our lives together.  What can I
say but.......God is good.

#6

for a very nice evening 

 reminiscing over our many years

together, and looking at wedding

 pics, etc.

It wasn't exactly what we had 

planned, as he was suppose to

be off work Mon and Tues. but

due to a crisis at work we decided

for him to move those days to

Thanksgiving week, but he got to

work at home at least, but it sort

of put a damper on the day, but

it actually turned out to be quite

a nice evening. We were gonna go 

out to dinner, but my sciatica was

 acting up a lot and I really didn't
 feel like going out, and he was
 gonna go get take out,  but we had
 leftovers from Scotts dinner, which 

was cuban food, and that sounded

much better to us, and it heats up

well, so we had that and the next
night he brought home Italian food
 from Carrabas, so we got to
 celebrate for 2 nights. 
 Works for me!

and I set a pretty table and we had
 our sparkling red grape juice we 
bought just for the ocassion, but 
totally forgot about the night
before.....lol

#7

for a new refrigerator even tho

we didn't need it yet.....Our old

one is 35+ yrs. old, and it is that

bisque, biscuit or almond color,

and getting very hard to find.

We have been waiting almost

2 yrs. trying to find a decent

dishwasher in that color. Still

Nada.....anyway, got to thinking

if our fridge went out, we would

be stuck having to buy staineless

steel, which would look terrible

in the kitchen with all our other

appliances..........and figured we

can do without a dishwasher

but we can't do without a fridge.
It was delivered on our Anniv.
and I really can't believe how
 excited I am over the new fridge,
 guess practicality really does
 come with age!!  lol

I am absoutely thrilled with it,

as it has the freezer on the bottom

and the fridge up top.  Everything

is right up there where you can

see, and it means not a lot of

bending over.  Also will be easier

to clean.....  I can stand up to do

it rather than killing my back or

having to sit in a chair..........lol
So I am more thrilled with it as
the days go by.

#8

that my daughter has a new job

2 days a week in her field, which

is Radiology, but she specialized
 in Mammography. She will start
 on December 5th,  and she is 
very excited about it.

Then later in the week she was
offered another job doing Dexa
scans, and it is just one day to
1 1/2 days, but she sets her own
schedule and can work it around
her mammography schedule.
She starts there next week.
So she has accomplished her
goal of being able to work
when she wants and to have
the flexibility to take off when
she wants to come visit or when
others come to visit with them.

very thankful, that my daughter
in love, Megan was not hurt in
an auto accident this week. and
yes, in their new car.....it was a
minor fender bender, so she is
fine and so was the other lady.
Unfortunately, the new car was
slightly damage and in the shop
being repaired, but it could have
been so much worse.  So thank-
ful for the Lord's watch care
over her as well. If you haven't
been by in awhile...my son was
just in an auto accident last
week..........and he is fine too,
and she was in the new car
that just got replaced from
his accident.
crazy!

#10
that her Dad and step-Mom
 were able to loan her their car 
until she gets her's back next 
week.

#11
that God has heard the prayers of
 his people about who the best choice
 for President was, even tho it seems
 the lesser of the 2 evils........
The Lord can use anyone He chooses
 to accomplish His purposes. I believe 
this election has been prayed over more
than any election that I have ever
 known of, and now if we American's
 will just continue to pray for our 
leaders as much now, as we did when
 the campaign was going on,  I believe
God will heal our land....but I
believe it is truly up to us, 
according to 2 Chronicles 7:14

if my people, who are called by my name,
 will humble themselves and pray and seek
 my face and turn from their wicked ways, 
then I will hear from heaven, and 
I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

#12
for a verse that was in our up-
coming Sunday school lesson
for this Sunday.

It is Proverbs 21:1

 The king's heart is in the
 hand of the LORD,
 as the rivers of water: 
he turneth it whithersoever he will.

Just the fact, that it was in our
 lesson for this week, with the
 election being this week,  it
just really spoke to me of
 God's sovereignty even over
bringing encouragement to
us when we need it most.
This is a 3 yr. study course we 
are doing.....no one could have
planned that.....some will say
oh, that is just a coincidence,
but I believe it was a divine
word of encouragment to
God's children.


Well,  there you have it.....
another week at Cozy Place.

Thanks so much for coming by,
always happy to know you were
here............

Have a lovely weekend with those
 you love and hold dear.
AND
God Bless our Veterans and
the USA...........


Love, Hugs and Blessings,
Nellie
