Scripture Sunday

Good Sunday Morning

Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you doing well.

Here is the scripture for today.

So do not fear, for I am with you;

 do not be dismayed, for I am your God. 

I will strengthen you and help you; I will

uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10 NIV


Have a Blessed Day

Hugs,
Nellie

P.S. If my blog looks a bit different
it is because I tried to put a new
blog background on and all my
things on the side got pushed all
the way to the bottom somehow
and we just haven't had time to
fix it.....but we will hopefully
this week sometime.  lol

Thankful Thursday March 26, 2020, playing with photoshop again - Birthday Table

For I am the LORD your God who 
takes hold of your right hand and says
 to you, Do not fear; I will help you.

Isaiah 41:13 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you well rested

and enjoying some down time,

and if you are one that is working

We so appreciate all you are doing

to help in this time of isolation.

We have been working in the yard 

again, it was overcast all morning, so

we were out there 3 hrs. or so....

got a lot more done.

We woke up to an alert on my com-

puter saying it couldn't find my drive

and hubby thought my computer had 
crashed but now after he has had
more time to check it out he thinks
it might be okay, but he is backing 
everything up first before he does
 any trouble shooting, and that will
take all day probably before we know
 for sure.  So praying it's okay!! 
Note: later Thurs. evening, my
computer is alive and well, thank
the Lord.

Pics today are from last week when

 I was playing on photoshop with

some extra photos I had.  Hope

you enjoy them.  well, on with

Thankful Thursday.

 Cutout Affect

#1

Thankful again for more yard work

we got done last Friday and today 
Thursday.  made a lot of progress.
Next we can put the bushes in and 
mulch and we will be done.Course
will have to wait for the all clear
before we can get the bushes and
more mulch.

#2

Thankful that our Hibiscus bush did

not die this Winter, and is larger than

usual for this time of year and has

tons of beautiful peach blooms, altho

they look more like mini blooms for

some reason.  Still very pretty.

Colored Pencil Affect

#3

Thankful for our first time of ordering

groceries online from our Walmart

Neighborhood Market, which was

perfect for this time of lock down.

  It was very convenient to do the

shopping online and once you finish

and place your order, they tell you 

exactly when to come pick up, they 

tell you the day and give you an hour

 window, and they send you a list once

they finish shopping and before you 

go that tells you what they didn't

 have and if they had to substitute any-

thing. Then when you leave the house

you have an app that tells them you

are leaving and when you get there

they ask you what # spot you parked

in (as they have special parking just

for pick up) and what color your

car is, and within a minute they

come out with your groceries and

put them in the car for you.  they

also ask you if you are happy with

the substitutes and if not, they will

take them off your bill right then

and there.  It was amazingly

convenient, efficient and FREE!

Of course,  I am meaning the ser-

vice not the groceries, but what a 

great service this is....especially for

 now or if you were sick or some-

thing especially.  You do have to

order a day or 2 in advance tho.

Soft Omni Affect

#4

Thankful to have lil darling again

this Monday.  We had a lot of fun

today.....playing tea party, had her 

fave breakfast, was outside swinging

 and Grampy took us for several rides

 in the wagon pulling us with his John

Deere, (the weather was very nice

today which really made it nice to

be outside),we decorated our Easter

 tree, watched some cartoons while

we snacked a bit, hid Easter Eggs

with Peanut Butter M & M's inside

(so we could eat them when we

 found them) colored in a coloring

 book, and played a new game we

 got her for her birthday called

 Headbanz.

 Equalized Affect

#5

Thankful for all the first responders,

Drs./Nurses, healthcare workers and

those that do all sorts of  jobs at the

 hospital that are very important.

They are all unsung heros and are

so appreciated.

#6 and 7

Thankful for President Trump and 

VP Pence and all those Drs. and people 

they have on the Corona Virus task force.

Also Thankful that they are all keeping us

informed daily of things that are going on.

 Posterized Affect

#8
Thankful for all our truckers and
grocery store workers, restaurant 
workers and anyone else not mentioned 
who is out there there helping to make 
this situation better. 
We appreciate you so much!!


#9

Thankful that they are gonna start using

 the Chloraquin and Z Packs tomorrow 

(Tuesday) and praying it will yield great

 results.  From all we have heard about it

 that should be the case, and maybe

 everyone can rest a bit easier.

 Photocopy Affect

#10

Thankful for the Peace of God

 during these trying and some times
scary times we are living in.

Poster Edges Affect

#11
Thankful to hear today that the virus
seems to be slowing some.  Just hope 
people don't just take that as an all
clear.

Paint Daubs Affect

#12

Thankful that my dear friend Arlene

will finally be able to go to Singapore

to get her t-cell treatment for Ovarian

cancer.  It has been a 3 mo, wait.  She

had to recover from surgery first and

then there was another delay and then

it was the Corona virus.  It is a 25 hr. 

travel time and she will be there with

her hubby and daughter for 6 weeks.

If you feel so led please pray for her 

and her family and for great success

with the treatment

#13

Thankful that we live in America.

No matter how many problems we

have it is still the best place in the

world to live as far as I am concerned.

No place I would ever want to be,

this side of Heaven.

Scripture Sunday

Good Sunday Afternoon

Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you doing well and enjoying

Spring and your some down time and rest.

Thought this was a good verse for the

things that are going on in our world.

Jesus Said “Come to me,

 all you who are weary and burdened,

 and I will give you rest.  

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,

 for I am gentle and humble in heart,

 and you will find rest for your souls.

  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Matthew 11: 28-30 NIV

Have a Very Blessed and
Peaceful Day!

Hugs, Nellie

Thankful Thursday March 19, 2020, and Pretty Spring flowers

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds
 are steadfast, because they trust in you.
Isaiah 26:3  NIV

Happy Spring Sweet Friends,

Wow, it has been quite an interesting
week, hasn't it??  I totally forgot today
was the first day of Spring until late
 this afternoon, just too much else
 going on.  lol

Hope you and your family are soldiering
 through it safely. Was happy to see in
the News today that President Trump
said they are in the process of testing a
 medication that has been on the market
for 70 years, that they use for Malaria,
but seems to be effective on the Corona
virus as well.....and if so, hopefully they
will be able to dispense it soon.  I feel
that is an answer to all the prayers that
went up on Sunday (and everyday in
many households).

It has been a very uncertain time for
everyone and that is when it is a good
time to trust God with our future, 
cause HE knows the beginning from
the end.  God's word says our days
are numbered, and when our number
is up it will be our time to depart
this world.....and I truly believe we
are not going anywhere one minute
before the Lord means for us to.....
the only thing is we don't have any
idea when or how that will be, so
makes sense for us to make sure
we know Jesus, since our eternal
destination depends on our faith in
Him and what HE did on the cross
 for all of us over 2,000 years ago,
As John 3:16 says.....
For God so loved the world that
he gave his one and only Son, 
that whoever believes in him shall 
not perish but have eternal life.

Was gonna post some other pics today,
 but decided some Spring flowers might 
be more beautiful and uplifting, cause
 who doesn't like pretty flowers.
So Flowers for You.....hope YOU
enjoy them.........

#1 and 2

Thankful we got most of our bushes

pulled up, and it was easier than

we thought it would be.  

Thankful that we got the outside

windows washed as well.....did

both last Friday.

#3

Thankful that our Contractor 

actually finished our shed on 

Saturday.

Did you hear us singing the 

Halleleujah chorus???  lol

#4

Thankful that I think we have

figured out the new bushes to

put in,  if we can find them now.

They are called  "Green Island

Ficus", or if we can get out to
get them at some point.

#5

Thankful that our church now

has live streaming so we could

still participate in worship ser-

vices at our church, since they

called off all services until 

further notice.  Felt so wierd

not to be able to go to church,

but we watched a number of

Pastors and it was a good day

just different.  We kept for-

getting it was Sunday cause

it seemed like Saturday or

Monday.........lol

#6

Thankful that we got to have

Brooklyn with us all day on

Monday, since she is out of

school due to the Coronavirus.

We had a good time with her

as always.

#7 and 8

Thankful that we were able

to get out on Monday afternoon

and get stuff from the grocery

store we needed.  We went about

 2:30, so there were not many

 people in the store at that time, 

and we were able to get every-

thing we needed.

Also, Thankful for what a good

 helper lil darling was as we were

 shopping.  She would get things

 we pointed out and put them in the

 cart for us and twist the bags with

 the veggies,  so cute!!

This was our first time doing

shopping with her.  It was quite

a fun time actually.

#9

Thankful hubby was able to 
help a guy friend with his Math.
He seems to be coming a Math
tutor these days.  lol


#10
Thankful that God is in control
of our world as it seems to get
a bit crazier by the day.

#11
Thankful to hear this morning
(Thursday), that there is a medicine
they use for Malaria that might be
able to be used for this Corona virus.
Most likely an answer to all those 
prayers that went up on Sunday.
Also it is a generic drug which
makes it cheap!


#12
Thankful for the realization and
amazement that God has allowed
us to be so prepared for such a
time as this.  Imagine for a moment
what if this had shown up 15 yrs.
ago.....there would not be people
able to have groceries or food
delivered, or talk to a Dr. online,
or order things online, or work
from home.  My daughter was
gonna cancell her Vet appt. for her
 Dog,  and they said not to worry 
they were even doing that curb-
side too, you drive up and they take
 your dog in, and you wait in the car 
for 15 mins., then the Dr. calls you
 and tells you what they did, and 
gives you to the receptionist so that 
you can pay your bill, then they bring
 you your pet and away you go.
Who could ever imagined any of
this....
We are an incredibly resourceful
nation, and it seems this common
enemy might just be pulling us
 together again. I think the Corona
 virus just might turn out to be God's 
Gift, in a strangely wrapped package!!
Nothing bad ever seems to look good
in the beginning, but God has a way
 of making it good in the end, if we
 are looking for it.

So don't forget to enjoy this extra
time you have with your family and
 time to rest from all the chaos 
for while.

Well, that's it for Cozy Place
this week.


Have a safe time of contemplation,
 rest, family time and hopefully
some fun............


Thanks for coming by....


Love, Hugs and
Spring Blessings,

Nellie

Birthday Table for Hubby and Lil darling.....

The Top of the Day to YOU

Sweet Friends,

Happy St. Patricks Day!!

Hope this finds you doing well and not 

feeling panicked with all this Corona

Virus stuff going on...........Hope you

all were able to get out to the store

and get what you needed.  We went

yesterday about 2:30 and there were

not many people in the store at that

time which was what we figured

and we were able to get everything

on our list and more.  The only 

thing I couldn't get was Lysol spray

and I already figured that would be

the case.  So no big deal......

We are washing our hands a lot

like they are telling us to...and

wiping things down every so

often.  We also got to have lil

darling yesterday since she is

out of school, so that was nice.

Thought maybe you could use a 

diversion and some Beauty in your

life today.  Beauty always makes me

feel better anyway......as well as
scripture, so if you are in need
of some peace you might want
to read my scripture Sunday post
from yesterday.  Click Here

So sharing Hubby and lil darlings

Birthday table.  It could be a nice

Spring table as well....

Had already decided on what plates,

napkins and tablecloth I was gonna use,

but needed to come up with a centerpiece

that would work.

So looked up masculine tables on the

internet, but didn't think a lot of them

really look all that masculine, but then

did see one that included books and

another that included a lantern, so 

that was a huge help....as I already

have both, and I also have some pcs.

that are royal blue as well.

So started with those pieces and looked

up some books that had blue, so stacked

 them and put the lantern in the center 

as the focal point and just started filling 

in and shopping my home until I came 

up with what I thought fit the bill.

I thought the royal Blue and most of

 the centerpc looked masculine and

 the white and flowers and light blue 

tablcloth were for lil darling 

and hubby.

One end of centerpiece

the center

and the other end

I have done 2 other tables with these

plates and napkins last year but they

 were different cause I love the 

challenge of seeing what I can come

 up with in order to make it look 

different.  I am weird that way,

I find it creative fun!!

Have you guessed that the pretty

 royal blue plates are paper goods???

I found them at BJ's wholesale

over a year ago or more, and just

fell in love with them, but there

was alot of them so I am definitely

getting my moneys worth!!  lol

Everything else....the salad plates,

 silverware and glasses are normal

tableware.  I often mix paper goods

with normal tableware, as it just

has a much more classy look.

I also like that it does help make

clean up easier as well.....

If you have followed me long 

you know I always like to include 

some candy just for the fun of it,

and

I found the perfect candies while

checking out at Publix.  They were

Dove chocolates and the perfect

color. 

Well, there you have it sweet friends,

Thanks for droppin' in,  always nice

to have you come by.

 Keep your light shining brightly!!

Love, Hugs and

St. Patricks Day Blessings,

Nellie
