Thankful Thursday September 27, 2018, scenes from Fall's past #2

You are my strength,

 I sing praise to you; 
you, God, are my fortress, 
my God on whom I can rely.
Psalm 59:17



Fall Greetings Sweet Friends,


What cha' been up to lately.
Hope whatever it is..... has been
fun and enjoyable for you.

Had a fun and enjoyable week here, 
busier than usual, which is fine, but
have to say I am happy I don't have
 a lot of things I have to do today.  
So hoping for a more restful 
day today!

Pics today are from Fall's past
at Cozy Place......so on with my
Thankful list............

# 1 and 2

Thankful for my Paternal Grand-

mother Nellie, whom I was named

after.  She has been in Heaven with
 Jesus for over 28 years now, but 
 Sept. 22nd was her birthday.

 Thankful for one of my Dearest

and Best friends who is really

like a Sister, Vicki who also

has the same birth date.

Both of these ladies have had a

huge impact on my life.

#3 and 4

Thankful for a fun day out walking

 in the mall, picking up lil darling

 and playing awhile, then going out

shopping at Wally World and going

to dinner at Carrabas!  There food

is always amazing, and thankful that
 we had just the nicest and most polite
 and helpful server ever. Such a good
 reminder of what a blessing we can be
 to others if we are kind, considerate
 and helpful to others.  He came to our

table with our water glasses and

 bread and olive oil before he even

greeted us or asked us anything

.....I haven't seen

anyone do that in years!!

#5

Thankful we started painting our 

saddle back stools we got a few

 months ago finally.  They are 

looking great already and look

so much nicer under the break-

fast bar, and hoping to finish
them this week.

#6

Thankful for the sweet sight

of seeing my neighbor who is

raising her Grandson, standing

out in the dark at 6 a.m. to make

sure her Grandson is safe until

the bus comes.  He is a Senior

in High School, and such a

 precious young man who has

 been thru more than any child 

should ever have to go through.

I knew she did this when he was

younger, but didn't know she

was still doing it.........what a

blessing she has been to this

child wo is now almost Adult.

#7

Thankful for something I heard

Joel Osteen say that I had never

thought of in this way before.

He was asking what do we have

on our throne?? Is it worry, fear,
bitterness, etc  Meaning if it is
 worry, fear, bitterness, etc, then
we have taken God off the
 throne and put these other things
in His place.  That was just such
a great word picture and so help-
ful for me as our world spins
crazier and crazier these days.
A great reminder that none of it
takes God by surprise, and that
He has it all under control, our
job is to pray and to trust!!

#8

Thankful for a very meaningful
answer to prayer concerning
direction this week.

#9 
Thankful my SIL Susan who had
cataract surgery on Tues. did so
well, and can already see so well
 and she still has to get the othe
 eye done yet. So I would say the
 surgery was a success.  PTL




#10
Thankful for texting, which is very
new to me in the last year, but have
just been sending out some random
texts in the last few days to
 encourage a few people and the
results have been a blessing for
both of us, so think this is gonna
be a fun thing to do often.

#11
Thankful that I found a jacket
top that I am hoping will look
good over a dress I already
have.  They didn't have the
right size but thankfully they 
were able to order it in the
right size,  so should get
it sometime within a week.
Am so hoping it works, as it
is always nice to have some-
thing new to wear



#12 
Thankful that my son, Scott has 
gotten so many of my hubbies 
good qualities and talents. 
 He is an amazing man, much
 like his Dad.  He had an
emergency plumbing situation
arise, and he handled it just
the way his Dad would have.
He took the bull by the horns
and figured out how to do
it himself, saving them lots
of money.......

Well, here's another week of 
Cozy Place Thankfuls.....


Glad you could come by and
hope you feel encouraged
when you leave.


Have a lovely weekend,

Blessings,
Nellie
