Thankful Thursday February 27, 2020, Our Winter living room 2020

Let the message of Christ dwell among

 you richly as you teach and admonish 

one another with all wisdom through

 psalms, hymns, and songs from the 

Spirit, singing to God with gratitude

 in your hearts. And whatever you do,

 whether in word or deed, do it all in the 

name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks

 to God the Father through him.

Colossians :16-17 NIV




Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you well and happy!

We are well and had a good day. Talked
with my girl for awhile, went to get my
eyes tested and picked out new glasses
and then did a lil window shopping, 
and went to dinner at our friends house,
 and what a great dinner it was.....
so delicious.  So been a long but good
 day.  Gonna watch an episode of Doc
 and then turn in, just thought I would
get this posted first, since it was ready
other than this opening paragraph.


Pictures today are from our Winter

Look Living room, I went with green
and white in here as you will see.
Now the whole house looks the same
since I took out all the red this week.

So on with my Thankfuls......

#1

Thankful that we got our sidewalk all 

cleaned up and our bushes all trimmed
back and it looks so much better.
Just need to add some new mulch and
some sidewalk lights and we will call
it a day.......once we do that!!  lol

#2

Thankful that one of our dear friends

that we were suppose to be getting

together with today (Tuesday) has

such a great attitude and is thankfully,

having very minimal pain. She called

 on Sunday and she was exercising and

 using one of the rubber resistance bands 
 that exercise guru's tell you to use for 
strength training and it broke, and sent 
her flying like a projectile into the

 door where she hit her head and then

 fell and hurt her knee, and was having

 bad pain and after having to go to the

ER and have xrays, she has a hairline

 fracture and they had to put her in a 

full leg brace and she is not suppose to

 put any weight on that leg. So this is 

quite a challenge for both of them, as

her hubby has been having some

problems too....but she has the most

amazing attitude and is doing her

best to look for the blessings in

all of this.


Note:  This is the 2nd time we have
heard of someone getting hurt with
those things.  My son-in-loves co-
worker was using it and it snapped
and hit him in the eye, and they were
 afraid he had a detached retina, but
 praise the Lord it turned out okay
but if you use one be very careful
or maybe find another way to do
your exercise.

#3

Thankful for the ways that God directs

each of us and uses each other to bless

the lives of others. 

 A neat example this week was my hubby 

was headed off to talk with another man

at church on Sunday but had the thought

 to go talk with a dear lady who lost her 

husband last year, she told him to please

 pray for her as this was gonna be a tough

week for her as their 50th anniversary 

was this coming Friday. So he prayed

with her that day and the next day we

were watching that program I have

told you we love on TBN called 

"Better Together" and they were talk-

ing about grief and this one young

lady who had lost her husband to

suicide (and it had been about a year)

 was talking about how things like 

birthdays and anniversaries and

special holidays were so hard but she

made the decision to embrace them

and celebrate them instead of dread-

ing them.  So my hubby felt led to

call her son and tell him about his

talk with her and what this young

lady said, and the son and his wife

were very grateful he called and

said they had never even thought

of that and that they were celebrat-
ing on of their childrens birthdays
 this week, so think they are gonna
 do something for her as well,  and

we made a card and sent it to her
as well.  Hope she is so pleasantly
surprised that it will take some of
the pain out of it.

Loved these lil pine branches I found
after Christmas....perfect for Winter.

#4

Thankful that I was able to make

5 new cards this week.  So we 
are up to 105 now.....

#5

Thankful that the antibiotics they

gave me for the UTI seems to be 

working and has caused me NO
problems.

#6

Thankful that I have decided what

 food I am making for my Sister-in-law

and hubbies birthdays which are

coming up soon.

#7

Thankful that our son started his new

 job last week, and he was in training

 for the week but said it was going

well.  Looking forward to hearing
more when we see him on Sunday.

#8

Thankful I have an appt. to have 
my eyes checked tomorrow and
to get new glasses.

#9
Thankful that I have been getting
so much good sleep in the last
months.  Such a blessing when
you are used to being sleep de-
prived for awhile.

#10
Thankful for the Peace that only
God can give us, in this crazy
crazy world we are living in.

#11
Thankful for a neat idea that we
heard about on "Better Together" 
today, and if you don't watch it
you really should try it.....we 
have really been blessed by this
show.
Anyway, the story was Lisa Harper
and a friend were traveling together
for a speaking engagement and
nothing was going right, their flt.
was cancelled or late, they didn't 
have their rental car ready when
they arrived at the airport, and 
other annoyances of just a bad
 travel day, and Lisa was starting
 to get frustrated and made some
sort of negative comment to her
friend,  and her friend said
"Stop and give me 10" and she
knew what that meant...It meant
stop and give me 10 things you
are thankful for right now.
Boy, wouldn't that change our
outlook in a hurry if we prac-
ticed that everytime we started
to go south............just some
food for thought!
Hubby and I tried it out after the
 show just to see how it would 
work, he did 5 and I did 5......
we weren't really going south
 today, but we do have those
 days sometimes......and think
this could be a great tool to
change our thinking and a very
good habit to make.

#12
Thankful to have my sister-in-laws
 Birthday table all planned and 
partially done and waiting for Sunday.

Well, That's it for Cozy Place 
today.......


Thanks for dropping by 

and

Have a Beautiful Weekend


Love, Hugs and
End of February Blessings,

Nellie
