Thankful Thursday April 28, 2021, Spring/Easter Table 2021

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation,

 by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,

 present your requests to God.

Philippians 4:6 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you doing well today.

We are doing fairly well, but April has

been full of ups and downs that we are

navigating, but we will get through them,

because we know where our help comes from.

and the verse above is a constant reminder

 and help for us.

Pictures today are from our Easter Table,

but it could be a lovely Spring table as well.

Found these gorgeous paper goods at Walmart

 They are from the Pioneer Woman collection.

I thought they were so pretty and also easy!

But I do like to dress them up by using

normal flatware and pretty glassware, which

makes for a pretty table too,

So on with my Thankfuls......

#1

Thankful for an opportunity to share our 

marriage story, which is quite rare these days.

  We had an interview with one of our former

 Sunday School Students from some years

 back when we used to teach marriage classes.

  She is taking counseling classes and was 

asked to interview a couple who she knew 

that had a solid marriage.

So since we have been around awhile

and she figured we must be getting close

to 50 yrs. we would be a good choice.

And we just passed our 50th Anniversary

last November, so what an honor.

#2

Thankful for what a wonderful stroll down 

memory lane it was for us, and it was quite

 enlightning to see some of her responses to

 how things were 5 decades ago. Also

made us realize some interesting things

about it that we had never really thought

about before too.  So it was a great

experience, and hope we gave her all

the info she needed to write her paper.

#3

Thankful to for her thoughtfulness in bringing

us a gift of 2 new marriage books we have

never read.  Which of course, she certainly

did not have to do.  So that was sweet and

she is a very sweet lady too. 

#4

Thankful that we were able to get our roofer

out here as we got a leak in our roof from

all that rain we had earlier this week.  It's the

same fellow that did our shed a few years

ago. He surveyed the situation today and

thinks it is coming from our chimney as the

boards have warped up there,  so he has to

get materials,  so hopefully he will be back

tomorrow or Monday.  So happy he

is still available or we wouldn't know

who to call......

#5

Thankful for how diligently my husband

is working on a new feature for our customers

of our card shop. It's gonna be great,

and hopefully we can implement it soon.

#6

Thankful for a good time with our Son and 

lil Darling on Sunday.  We got take out

 from Tijuana flats and played games. 

 Fun time as always!

#7

Thankful to know God is in control of our lives

and the ones we love.  As we are praying and are

 heartbreakingly watching someone we love dearly

 go through a very rough time, and soon it will

be another person too, 

#8

Thankful for a delicious and easy new recipe

I happened to see on yummly.  It is garlic shrimp

pasta. Made it tonight for din din and we loved it.

Thinking the leftovers will be even better. 

Absolutely love making one dish and being

able to have it for 2 dinners.

Oh yea, here is the recipe in case you are

interested.

#9

Thankful for some yard work we got done in

the back yard the last 2 evenings.  Amazing how

just a lil trimming up makes such a difference.

#10

Thankful for the way we can go to bed discouraged

and asking the Lord to help us,  and get up the next

morning after a good nights sleep and it's like the Lord

has made everything looks so much better.

  He never ceases to amaze me.

#11

Thankful for God's beautiful Seasons and nature;

 like blooming Ginger and Jasmine and Wild flowers

 in my backyard, a pretty red cardinal hopping around in the

trees, and the pretty Spring green of the trees and all the 

pretty new growth everywhere, and a flock of Sandhill

cranes flying in formation.

 So Beautiful is Spring.....in all her Glory.

#12

Thankful that my Daughter and her hubby are able 

to do a lil get-a-way weekend to a Lakeside cabin

 near Asheville, NC this weekend. 

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

Thanks for dropping by.....

Have a lovely rest of the week,

Love Hugs and

 Last Day of April

Blessings,

Nellie
