Thankful for some more backyard

cutting, looks so much better.
#4
Thankful for meeting a very sweet
young lady last Sunday at church
and we asked her if she wanted
to sit with us this Sunday, since
she was alone, as her children
were in Children's church. She
accepted and seemed very happy
we asked, so was glad I asked.
#5
Thankful for a lovely worship
service, and then lunch out with
our friends to Cracker Barrel.
Lots of fun.....

Thankful for a blouse I found
at Cracker Barrel. I have
been looking for a Navy blouse

Just love those finds when you
aren't looking for them.......
Blessings dropped from heaven......
#7
Thankful for a sweet card from
same friend above.
#8
Thankful for a new marriage book
we are reading which is generating
a lot of good conversations between
hubby and I, and that's always a
blessing.
#9
Thankful for some truth that has
needed to be revealed to someone
we love and it has finally happened,
sad but unfortunately necessary.
#10
Thankful for what was an emotional
surprise phone call from the Sister of
my dear friend who passed away back
in February. Wed. was not a good
day for me, and I was missing/wishing
I could call my friend and talk to her
cause she was a prayer warrior and
always very positive and had wise
advise or comments. She and her Sister
were so much alike, and they even
sound alike, so when I heard her voice
on our voice mail I just had a melt
down, but felt like it was such a gift
from God. We talked for hours and
it was such a blessing.
#11
Thankful for another fun day
with our lil Granddaughter.
We played chick-fil-a drive
through had breakfast on
the porch as it was nice and
breezy, then played grocery
store, hide and seek with stuffed
animals, she and hubby put
a bird house kit together, and
she started painting it, watched
some planet earth animal videos,
and then in the later afternoon
her lil friend nextdoor was able
to come over and they played
drive thru again, and Grampy
took the for a wagon ride, then
we played restaurant, and we
were the customers. A full day
of fun.....we are tired but happy
campers........lol
#12
Thankful that my Son-in-loves
new nephew arrived safely and
Mom and Baby or doing well.

You are so blessed and I can see how thankful you are. Life is good. Happy Saturday. xoxo Kris
ReplyDeleteSo much to respond to, and I doubt that I will remember everything you wrote.
ReplyDeleteFirst, what a blessing that you reached out to that lady at church. Sadly, people reaching out isn't something I see much of in churches these days. Last November, we left our longtime church, as our pastor had shut church down due to Covid. We didn't want to worship online, so we looked for another church. Although we've been going there since November, we know virtually no one. People tend to stay in their comfort zone with those they already know and don't reach out to new folks. (I've seen this in multiple churches through the years.) So, I thank the Lord that you guys reached out!
Your day with your little grand sounds lovely. What a blessing that she lives nearby and that you guys get to spend regular time with her.
I'm really glad you got to talk to your late friend's sister. I'm sure you were as much a comfort to her as she was to you.
And see, I forgot what else I wanted to say. I will go back to the other page, read again, and leave another comment.
Love,
Patti
Masks...our state's mask mandate has been lifted. Yesterday I went into 2 different places and the clerks were not wearing masks. What a joy it was to see faces for a change!!
ReplyDeleteI love the Cracker Barrel store. They have such cute things, and now that I know my little grandchild is a girl, I need to go there to get a darling little dress I saw when I was there in March.
What is the new marriage book you are reading?
Have a great day, sweet friend!
Love,
Patti
#1. What a a great time you spend with one another on your outings!
ReplyDelete#2. I thought that was if you had the vaccine.
#3. I need to get Steve to bush hog the overgrowth slowly creeping up in the back yard!
#4. The LORD bless your kindness to her.
#5. I've been watching services on-line.
#6. The LORD blesses "those who wait" to find your wants as well as needs!
#7. It's always a joy to get "surprises" in the mail!
#8. The LORD's Love and blessing on you both to draw you even closer!
#9. I pray it is who I think it may be. My prayers have been and are being lifted up daily!
#10. I pray the LORD's comfort for you both!
#11. What a joy in sharing! Memory making in the process!
#12. Praise the LORD!
Love you, Susan
Hi Patti,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement. She is a delightful young lady, and we are getting to know her
more each week, and it has really been a blessing to us.
and yes, we feel very blessed to be a part of Brooklyns life weekly and sometimes more. I think it was definitely a mutual blessings for my friends sister and myself. We plan to keep in touch more.
I know isn't it so wonderful to see peoples faces again. A lot of store clerks are still wearing masks, don't really know why, guess there employers are making them. Most places we have been not many customers are still wearing them. Think it is just folks who really haven't studied up on the masks and what they can and can't do.
Cracker barrel is definitely one of my fav places to eat and to shop. They have so many
cute things and I feel their prices are very reasonable as well, and they have the cutest
kids clothes as well, so better get on up there and by some..........lol
Hold me tight? It is an author from Canada named Dr. Sue Johnson. Don't think it is a christian book tho, as I don't recognize any of those who endorse the book, but so far, we
think it's pretty good, and haven't disagreed with much of it. So will tell you more when
we finish it......lol Sometimes you have to chew up the meat and spit out the bones, if you know what I mean. It's about something called Emotionally focused couples therapy.
Well, hope you are doing well hon, and how is Gabrielle feeling these days? Good I hope.
Take care sweetie and thanks for coming to visit,
Love and Blessings,
Nellie
