Thankful Thursday December 6, 2018, Christmas past #2

When you have eaten and are satisfied, 

praise the LORD your God for the good

 land he has given you.

Deuteronomy 8:10 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Can you believe we are only 18 days

away from the big day??  Amazing!

Hope you are enjoying the Christmas

Season, as much as we are......

We have been busy as beavers this

week,  so will make this short,

and get on with my Thankfuls.
Pictures are from Christmas'
pasts at Cozy Place.

#1

Thankful to have the Joy of watching 

our Youth Pastor (her Dad) and Choir

 Director's (Her Mom) lil 7 year old 

lead our hand bell choir on Sunday. 

 She did an outstanding job, and

she looked adorable.  A leader in

training........she is a chip off the

old block for sure.

#2

Thankful for lunch out on Sunday

at long Horns, just the 2 of us.

#3

Thankful we have finally finished 

all our decorating and now are just

 totally enjoying it all.  It is a lot of 

work, but so worth it to us.

#4

Thankful for the new flameless

candles, that really look like candles

 burning, especially the ones you

can program to turn on and off

when you want.  We have pur-

chased about 5 of those since 

the Fall of this year.  They look

beautiful but put off no heat,

and also we don't have to

remember to light them!!

Love it!!

#5

Thankful for my hubby, he has really

been more in the Christmas spirit the

 last few years, and it has really been

 fun for both of us.

#6

Thankful that hubby will be totally

 retired as of Dec. 31st of this year. Even 

tho, he is still a part time employee, he

 hasn't really been working for months

 now, once he got his replacement 

trained things seem to be going well.

So we are quite happy about that.

#7

Thankful that our Son finally made it 

safely to Italy (for Work) even tho his 

flight was cancelled, then he had a long

 10 hr.+ lay over in New York the next

 day, then once he got to Milan he had

 to take a train elsewhere that was only

 suppose to be 2 hrs. but was 4 hrs.

#8

Thankful we are gonna get to see our

lil darling in a Christmas program tonight,

 and she is gonna be Mary, the Mother of 

Baby Jesus............

Note:  Went to the program and it was 
very sweet and lil darling made a perfect
Mary, she sat as still and quiet as a
 mouse.  lol and of course, looked
 adorable, and they all sang a number 
of  Christmas songs in other languages
for the theme of Christmas around
the world.  Very cute!

#9

Thankful that we finally have an outdoor 

nativity set.  I have wanted one for years,

but never found one I really liked or that

we felt was affordable, but good things 

come to those who wait. We got it 

yesterday, and put it up last night, but

we still have to put some lights on it,

but it will be beautiful once we finish

it up...............

#10

Thankful that lil darling is out of 

school as of today, for the Christmas 

break until January.  So Wednesday

was the start of many fun days

ahead......

#11

Thankful for the life and service of 

 President George and First Lady,

 Barbara Bush and the legacy they 

leave behind:  Of love of family, 

 friends, colleagues and other

Americans and our Country, and

more.....learned a lot about him

this week that I never knew.
