Scripture Sunday - All knowing and all seeing God

 You have searched me, LORD,

 and you know me. 

 You know when I sit and when I rise;

 you perceive my thoughts from afar. 

 You discern my going out and

 my lying down;

 you are familiar with all my ways.

Psalm 139:1-3  NIV

Morning Sweet Friends,

I don't know about you but 

I love that the Lord is present

everywhere, and knows every-

thing, and that he knows me

 intimately, and knows my every 

thought. That means I can be

 totally honest with Him cause He

 already knows my heart and what

 I am thinking and I can't hide any

thing from Him, cause He already 

knows all my ways...and still

loves me.....what freedom there 

is in that......and He even knows

 when I go to sleep at night and

 when I get up.............

Now... how cool is that??

and he knows all that about

you too..........

and how cool is that??

Have a Blessed Sunday,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday June 22, 2017, Photo affects on Fathers day table pics

Give thanks to the Lord, 
for he is good; 
 his love endures forever.
Psalm 107:1


Summer Greetings
Sweet Friends,

Wow, it is offically Summer but 
seems like it has been Summer 
for quite awhile already....
weatherwise.

Hope your are enjoying your
 summer,  think we are more 
enduring than enjoying!!  lol
  It was 100 degrees here the last
 few days and muggy as all
get outs...........it's the time of
year when you open the door
early in the morning even, and
it is like opening the oven
 door!!   Feels yukky!

Not been a super productive
week here,  just doing paper
work, bill paying, emailing
and office type work... it is
productive...but you just can't 
see it....I prefer the productive
 work you can see..........lol
As it tends to spur me on, and 
makes me feel more like I have
 accomplished something.

Pictures today are with photo
affects.....took too many pics
of the Father's Day table, so
put affects on them for the
fun of it.  I could have sworn
I did not take as many pics
this time.........lol
Well on with my Thankful
post...............

I am thankful

#1

that a "bomb" threat at the Port

of Charleston last Friday the 16th.

turned out to be just that... a threat.

I am so thankful for that for all the

normal reasons, but also for our own

 personal reasons as some of you

 probably know, but others don't that

 our daughter and son-in-love live 

in charleston, not too far away from
 there and could have been in danger.
Scary stuff!  So thankful for the 
Lord's protection over the kids,
Charleston and S. Carolina. 

Today it is so important to pray for
 the safety for our families, friends 
and country daily......it is really.... 
 a necessity.  I truly believe the only 
reason we have not had more of
 those type of  situations is because
 the Lord is protecting the U.S
because of the prayers of his
 people.......God answers prayer.

#2

that I was able to sort of pace

day............

Father's Day Table 2017

Happy Tuesday Sweet Friends,

Hope you all had a great Father's

Day at your house and that your

Hubbies and Fathers were 

sufficiently spoiled for the day,

if you had them with you!

They were over here!!  We had

a very nice day. 

Had planned to show you pics

of our computer/office room

but decided I should show you

our Father's Day table before 

we got too far away from that

 day........course, it could really

be used for a guys birthday or

summer really.........so guess it

really didn't matter now that I

think about it,  but the pics

are already loaded so this is

what you get today!!  lol

This table idea all started a few weeks

 back when we visited HomeGoods. 

 I happened on this beautiful Navy

 ticking stripe heavy duty gift wrap.....

and.....

 these Navy and white striped napkins.

I have been quite enamored with Navy

Blue lately,  maybe it was the new 

Navy blue outfit that I got for Mother's

 Day, lol.....or maybe it is just because I

seem to see it everywhere I go lately. in

stores and in blogland...but the truth is

I have always loved Navy Blue so my

 heart beat a lil faster when I saw these

 2 fun paper oods... and my mind right

 away went to.... this could make a

 great Father's Day table.........

especially since I hadn't had any

 ideas yet........so knew they had to

come home with me!!  lol

and.....
 since Navy also has a great coastal
look to it........I decided on a coastal
themed centerpiece.

Since this new gray basket went so
well with the Navy decided to put
all the coastal things inside as it
added nice texture and a more
masculine look.  All the coastal
items were borrowed from our
bedroom...........

Knew Navy would be great
with a white tablecloth under
the runner and with white
 dishes, of course.

Lil darlings place is a lil bit different,

than the rest and then added the blue
and yellow legos to give her some
thing to do.....

Had the glasses upright but as I

was looking at them I thought the

bottom part looked sort of like a

buoy,  so turned them upside

down, and hubby said they

look like a light house.....so

either way it works! lol

Love how the candle light

reflected up on the glass

These round things in the basket
 and in the candleholders turned
out to be marbles that I happened to 
find at the dollar tree.....
thought they were just smooth
stones like others I have,  but
 they are quite pretty,Navy,
 cobalt blue with some silver.

Love these lil starfish dishes my
daughter brought back from her
honeymoon in Puerto Rico.
Over 5 years ago....

The silverware placed like this

 reminded me of a boat

propellor.....lol

Overviews

Anyway,   it was a fun
 nautical table.

Thanks so much for dropping

by,  and hope you enjoyed

your visit.

Hope to see you on Thurs. for

Thankful Thursday and to

see other pics of this table,

all with photo affects. 

 Some are quite interesting!!

Keep you light shining

brightly!

Love, Hugs and

Coastal Summer Blessings,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday - June 15, 2017, Styling, Camera Practice and Photo Affects #2

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

Psalm 100:4 NIV

Hello Sweet Friends,

Hope you have had a fun week planning
 for Father's day.

I  sure have ....
made out my grocery and gift lists on
 Tuesday, then did my shopping today,
and Friday will be making Lasagna, 
table setting and doing cards and gifts,
and Sat. will be making a nice breakfast
 and banana pudding and a salad for 
Sunday............ have to say I enjoy
doing things to spoil my hubby and
our son a little bit.........
as they deserve it....cause they are
both  very good men!

Pictures today are Part 2 of Styling,
Camera Practice and Photo affects
from the dining room.  If you wish
to see Part 1,  Just click here.


So without further Adieu......on with
 my Thankfuls.....

I am thankful

#1

for a new series we found to watch

that has been great so far, but we 
have only seen 2 episodes, so will
see how it goes. It is called "Legacy"
 and it is on the Feeln Channel in
 case you are interested.

#2

for a nice Sunday at church and

lunch out at Carrabas, then a nice

 Sunday afternoon nap. We could

never get accused of working too

hard on a Sunday......lol

#3 
for a nice time with my SIL Susan 

on Sunday evening. She came over 

and we got pizza and watched an

inspirational movie.


#4
 that the movie was really good, it
was called "Believe" from Netflik. 
  As she needed a distraction to get 
her mind off of some things that are
 going on, so this was great and she
 said it really helped her and it
was encouraging to us as well.

With poster edges affect

#5
that I found some wall words in
the Dollar tree,  that were the
perfect finishing touch for the
computer room,  and also to
replace the wood pc.  I took
from the livingroom.  All for
$3.00.......love it.............

#6

that our office/computer room

is finally finished........

Whoo Hoo..........

and if you came by Tuesday
you already know that,  but
it is definitely one of my
thankfuls this week.

#7
that I now have 3 blooms and 5 more
buds on my hydrangeas....even tho
they are small they are my biggest
crop ever!!  lol
So think I have finally found the
perfect envirionment.....and so
happy about that as I love hydrangeas
and have been trying to grow them
for years....with very lil success.



#8
that my daughter told us about
a nut bar that they get, called
Kind bars.  Hubby found some
at the store and they are really
good. Very Healthy for you!
We got the "Maple Glazed
Pecan and Sea Salt" and the
"Dark Chocolate and 
Cinnamon Pecan" Yummy!

#9
that hubby got one of his Father's Day
presents on Wed., we decided to have
another area of our backyard worked
on by the same fellow that did it for
his birthday.  We had a lot of our woods
encroaching on the house, so they have
gone bye bye now.  Looks a lil rough at
first like that last time, not quite as bad
tho this time, but it had to be done and
it is nice  he, we really didn't have to
 do it, cause it would have taken us
a lot longer..................

#10

for a nice day out today....went to Fresh
Market, always love going there, I enjoy
 their wares of course, but I also enjoy the 
way they have the store decorated just as
 much. Sort of made the rounds to Publix,
 Kohl's and Wally World.
Been a long but good day!

With Photo copy affect

#11

that my sister-in-law Susan got
a much better report from the 
2nd eye Dr. she went to.......
so she feels much better about
things............


#12
that I have everything I need for
making Father's Day dinner and
doing the table and their gifts,
so now I can go to work and pull
it all together before Sunday.

colored pencil affect.

This is the vignette I decided to keep
on our dining room table.

Couldn't believe lil darling actually
noticed it on Wed, and said that looks
pretty on the table.   She is so 
observative....and her Daddy was 
just like that when he was lil too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Well, that's it for this week.

Thanks for popping in and hope you
enjoyed your visit.

Keep your light shining brightly.

Love, Hugs and
Happy Father's Day Blessings,

Nellie
