Thankful Thursday February 22, 2018, Winter Family room 2018

Look to the LORD and his strength; 

seek his face always.

1 Chronicles 16:11

Greetings Sweet Friends,

How are yall today??  Doing well,
I hope.

Things are good here, been a busy
week,  pretty much finished my up
kitchen and was thrilled to get my
pantry done, so just a few more small
things to do!! Also did some tweaking
on my Winter decor as it is seeming
more like Spring by the day.

My Winter decor was inspired this 
year by the new stars we bought
at the dollar tree for our christmas
tree and this lovely magnolia print
 we found at the Christmas tree store
for a great price in January.  
Love it.........So green. gold, white 
and cream are pretty much our colors
 for the famly room this year.


So on with my Thankful Post


#1

Thankful that we got some rugs and

carpeting cleaned over the weekend.

More of my early Spring cleaning!!  lol

#2

Thankful for the delight of seeing

what you call a "Leaf Bug" on our

screen out on the porch. I have never

even heard of one, let alone seen one.

but hubby had. They are really cool,

 and they look just like a leaf on their

 side and they are thicker on their body

 of course,  but even move like a leaf 

would move in the wind.  God's
creations are just Fascinating!!

Side view...doesn't he look
just like a leaf....guess that
is why they call them leaf
bugs........lol

He was missing a back
leg, poor thing!  He has
lil antennae too, you just
can't see them in the pic.
and you got a free shot
of my hubby too!!  lol


#3

Thankful for a new Chinese takeout

restaurant someone told us about.

We tried them out on Sat. and I

thought their food was great and

hubby liked everything but the

 fried rice. We haven't gotten any

chinese food for the last few yrs.

as the 2 times we got it before it

was awful, and we didn't know

of another place that was good.

Not that we get it that often as it

isn't our all time favorite food but

we do like it every once in awhile.

So it was a nice discovery.

#4
Thankful that my daughter and
son-in-love made it back safe
and sound from Utah, and they
had a great time....

#5

Thankful that a younger friend of

ours who has been a single parent

of 3 children for years, and has been

a great Mom and has had a really rough 

go of it and has had no interest in getting 

involved with anyone, had a neighbor

 introduce her to a fellow  they know that

 really seems like a great guy.  She is 

being very wise and taking it slow and 

easy and getting him around friends to 

get their take on him.  We are so praying

 that he is God's man for her,  as one child

is now married, one is about to graduate

high school and the other is about

10 yrs. old, and absolutely loves the

guy.......and has even said I wish he 

was my Dad. So we are very happy

and excited for her......

#6

Thankful that one of my dearest friends 

was prayed for and the Lord healed

her. She had a medical problem and 

needed to have a procedure done and

 was prayed for and was healed by the

 Lord. When she called to cancell the 

procedure it seems the Lord had gone

 before her and they couldn't even find

her name on the list to have the

procedure done...........

How cool is that??

#7

Thankful that we feel we are seeing

the beginning of a miracle that we

and other friends and family have

 been diligently praying for.

 Remember that I told you a while
 back we had some sad and devastating
 news, well, we are feeling this is the
 answer to that but have a ways to go
 yet....but we are praising the Lord for

what has happened so far!

#8
Thankful that we accidentally yet

delightfully found a magnolia tree
growing in our side backyard, I have
always wanted one, and think some
how it's seed were spread to our yard
from our next door neighbors who
have several magnolia's that were
planted there by our old neighbors.
It is thin but over 6 ft. tall already
and look like there could be two
possibly cause they are growing in
a bunch of grapevine,  so it could
be longer branches rather than a
2nd one, as it is probably fighting
to get light.....anyway, as soon as
we get the chance we are gonna
remove all the grapevine around
it so it can flourish.  Such a fun
surprise!!

#9
Thankful for Boarshead Salsalita
Turkey.  I am not much of a Turkey
eater, as I like chicken much better,
but this Turkey is awesome. Learned
 about it from Scott and Megan.

Thankful for this delightful video
about parenting tips to take from
Prince William and Princess Kate.
I love this royal couple and love 
seeing them with their children,
and definitely think William gets
this from his Mom, Princess Di
and Kate... she is a natural......and
 probably got it from her parents.
