Thankful Thursday August 8, 2019, Coastal decor scenes #4

 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; 

even at night my heart instructs me.

Psalm 16:7 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope your week has been a good one....

would imagine a lot of you are getting

your kiddles ready to go back to school

or off to school.

The first half of our week was very good, 

 but the 2nd half not so good. We got not

one but 2 Sad and Shocking announce-

ments this week that have both been

 grievious to our hearts, especially mine.

One was one of our Pastors that we

 have worked the most closely with is 

leaving to take another church, he and

his sweet family, and the other is we 

want be having lil darling any more on

 Wednesdays. We never saw either one 

coming. Altho we know the Lord knows

 what He is doing, it doesn't help your

 heart when you know you are gonna

 miss someone, and definitely takes 

some time to adjust and grieve what is

 coming, and I have been trying to do

 both the latter part of this week.

 Thankfully we should still be picking 

her up on Thurs. but that will only give

 us a few hours with her.  So hoping we

 can have more sleepovers on Friday

nights maybe.

One thing we can be sure of in life,

is that things are always changing,

like it or not.

Pictures today are again of our

Coastal themed living room.

flats and gave them specific instructions

which they followed to a T, and it was

sooo good!

Thankful that our contractor came out

again this week, which we again did

happy about.  He started putting the

soffiting in this time.

#5

Thankful for a fun time at a Wedding

reception we went to for our Pastors

son.  He is now in the military and got

 married at an all family wedding, and 

so many folks love there son, they did

like a drop in wedding reception so

people could come by and meet his

new bride and congratulate them.

We also got to see their Wedding pics

on a rotating screen that was set up.

Lovely, and so good to see them both,

and to meet her as well. Such a sweet

and handsome couple.

#6

Thankful for an unexpected dinner out

 afterwards at Carrabbas....one of our fav

 restaurants.  We were gonna come home

and have leftovers and we thought hey,

we are dressed and out let's do some-

thing else fun.

#7

Thankful that my foot is pretty much

back to normal, altho I am still babying

it a bit just to make sure.  lol

#8

Thankful that Season 11 of  "Heartland"

just came out.  We have watched all 10 

of the other seasons and we love this

 series.  It's really great!

Clean, great story line and great

characters.

#9

Thankful for all of our 5 Pastors today,

but especially for our Precious Youth

 Pastor, and his wife (who leads the choir)

 and his sweet and beautiful children, as

 we just found out Sunday, that the Lord

 is leading them to a church in Nashville,

where he will become an Assoc. Pastor.

We are saddened to hear the news,  but

 know the Lord knows what he is doing.

 It was really a hard decision for them, 

but they feel called...plus he really is

good at preaching and needs to have

more opportunity to develop that, and

 this will be that opportunity. I think

 he needs to be heard as he has the 

ability to really touch peoples hearts 

with his transparency and sharing 

what the Lord is teaching him. So

that Nashville Church is really gonna

be blessed to have him for sure.

#10

Thankful for the 6 years that I had to 

take care and nurture lil darling, they

were  such a Joy and blessing to me.

Hard right now to imagine my Weds.

without her, but knew it was coming

as she is getting older, just didn't

expect it yet.

Thankful that I am feeling much

better emotionally than I was

at the beginning of the week.

Getting more adjusted to the idea

of what is coming and trying to see

the bright side as much as I can.

#12

Thankful for my hubbies help 

with the above by listening to

me and letting me just spill out

all my feelings...so helpful for 

helping us ladies work thru

things.
