Romans 15:13 NIV
Greetings Sweet Friends,
Hope you have had a lovely week. We have, and
we are happy to see we are cooling off a lil bit
here in Florida in the evenings and early morn.
Still in the mid to upper 80's, but we will
take what we can get. lol
Pictures today are more Fall decorating for 2023,
So this is part 3.
So on with my Thankfuls......
#1 and 2
Thankful for a lovely dinner out with our neighbors
at Long Horn steak house, and they even treated us
to dinner.
Thankful for this sweet couple, they are the best
neighbors and friends. They are the ones that
bring us that delicious veggie soup every so often.
Love them so much!!
#3
Thankful for a good school day with lil darling.
She had a lot to do today,... and got everything
done we could and will finish on Monday, we
were all pretty tired at the end of the day. lol
A good tired tho.............
Thankful that when our power went out just
as it was getting dark on Monday evening,
that all our candles that are battery operated
and timed had just turned themselves on,
so we were not in the dark or having to
scramble to find things. Another great
reason for us to love them, they are very
useful as well.
#5
Thankful that we got to work outside again
on Saturday, and pretty much finished up
all our bushes. Just need to do my rose bush
and fertilize it next time.
#6
Thankful for a great day at church, we had a
special guest this morning that we all love.
He usually comes once a year....his name is
Marquis Laughlin, and he does a dramatic
recitation of the scripture. He is doing the
book of "Revelation" this year. It was awesome,
plan to go back to night to see the other half.
He just makes the scriptures come alive for us.
#7
Thankful our friend with the broken kneecap
was able to be at church today and we were
actually able to go out to lunch with them.
It was great and she looks great, still in
recovery tho, but coming along well, but
still having trouble sleeping cause of pain.
It was so nice to be able to spend some
time with them.
#8
Thankful to recognize and see a young man
who went to our church growing up 20 yrs.
or more ago. He looks almost the same as
he did as a kid, but is 40 yrs. old now.
He is such a wonderful young man, he
is married and has 4 girls, and he said
they were all angels. He was always a
great kid back then, and seems to be the
same now..... It was lovely to see him.
He was was involved in the youth group
and stuff with our kids as well.
#9
Thankful we had another good school day with
lil darling and we got everything done, even
what was leftover from last Friday, so had
time to have some fun.....she wanted to learn
to make a card, so had time to work on
that too, and she did so well.
#10
Thankful that we got to see a kid who grew
up in our church and who has been acting
as a Youth Pastor in our church for a couple
of years now, as he was finishing up his schooling
......He was Ordained as a Pastor Tuesday night.
We are so proud of he and his wife (she grew
up in our church too), She is our previous
Pastors daughter, and they have 3 lovely
children. It was a really good service, and
a time of fellowship after to congratulate
all the men who were ordained as well,
there were 12 of them, and they will be
at a number of different churches in
the Southeaster district.
Thankful for a great conversation we had
with one of the Pastors who attended from
Tampa. He told us this wonderful testimony
about his neice, who is also the churches
Worship leader. He rec'd a call from her
husband via voice mail) that she was in the
hospital and was in ICU. in very serious
condition, so the first thing he did was call
his prayer team and then went to the hospital.
She had blood in her lungs, her kidneys, stomach
and one other place can't remember, anyway
she was also put on a respirator. it turned out
to be severe Lupus attack. Anyway, she came
out of it and was taken off the respirator,
but they said she would need to be in the
hospital longer and have to have dialysis
the rest of her life, people continued to pray
and the next day she got out of the hospital
and was 100% with no further problems
and no dialysis, and has been fine every since.
Praise the Lord, God is still in the miracle
business..........Love hearing these stories.
So encouraging.....
#12
Thankful that even tho lil darling got up
not feeling well and had very large swollen
tonsils......Mom took her to Dr. and she did
not have Strep throat and even tho her
throat hurt she wasn't feeling bad otherwise.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, that's it for Cozy place this week
Glad you came for a visit
and
Hope you have a Terrific Thursday
and rest of the week.
Love, Hugs and

Jesus is Eternal..............
This verse makes me think of an old hymn
that says:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in his wonderful face,
and the things of earth shall grow strangely dim in the
light of His glory and grace! So very true.
Have a peaceful day filled full of
eternal perspective,
Hugs, Nellie

I will sing the praises of your name.

Thankful that hubby found a new way to put a subscribe
button on my blog, since google decided to remove it
a while back. It's been a few weeks, but I kept forgetting
to tell yall..........so in case you didn't notice, check out
my right side bar at the top, and subscribe or
resubscribe, if you'd like.
#2
Thankful that I am finished with my Fall decorating
so now we can just sit back and enjoy it all! It's a
lot of work, but fun work and I am always happy
that I took the time to do it.
#3
Thankful for my first pot of Beef Stew for the
season, I am a lil earlier than usual, but wanted
to take some to my friend who is recovering,
as she loves beef stew.
#4
Thankful that a friend who lost his wife to
cancer, is now engaged to someone that he
can love again. He's a great guy!!
#5
Thankful for our Sr. Pastor, and all the years
he has been with us. We got the sad news
yesterday that he has kidney cancer, and they
just found out last Friday, so they don't even
have all the details yet. Praying that the Lord
will be with him and his family through it all
and that of course, he will be healed.
#6
Thankful that our old Youth Pastor just
returned to us this past week, and it was
already in the works for him and our other
Youth Pastor to be working in different
capacities than before, and would be
transitioning our Sr. Pastor into retirement.
Guess that might be sooner than we expected
but we see how the Lord has clearly taken
care of it, so that our Sr. Pastor has that
load taken off his shoulders while he goes
thru this other challenge. If you feel so led
please pray for he and his family. His name
is Pastor Brad.
#7
Thankful for a good school day with lil darling.
We did the normal day and worked on helping
her do a Shoebox diorama about the "Civil War"
and also about Harried Tubman. I learned
some things along the way too. lol
#8
Thankful for battery operated candles. They
enhance my decorating so much, but without
the work of having to light them every nite.
#9

Thankful for all the yummy fresh peaches I have
been enjoying for months now. One of my fav fruits.
#11
Thankful to get out and work in the yard some
trimming bushes, as it has been awhile. Still
very hot here, so had to be out there at 7:30
to stand it. Was back inside by 8:45, that's
about all we can take....so humid out there.
I do love working in the yard tho, so can't
wait for some cooler weather.
#1`2
Thankful I finally found some pretty fresh
Fall flowers at Publix grocery store. Looked
at Sam's and Walmart and didn't like any
thing they had.....wierd colors, I thought
anyway. Was the last nice finishing touch
to our dining room table. Don't you just
love fresh flowers? They just make
my heart Happy!!
Just a sneak peek until next week. lol
Well, that's it for Cozy Place this week.
Glad to have you here.
Have a Wonderful rest of the week.

Mid September Blessings,

Hope the Lord is building your house hold today,
He has been building ours for well over 40 yrs. now.
and when I was reading this I was mostly struck by
the thought that we should be praying for the Lord
to watch over our city.... where we live.
We pray for our family, friends, church family
policemen and first responders (of which we have
a number of in our church) but never thought
to pray for the Lord to watch over our city.
We pray for the
Lord to keep our home and the homes of our
family and friends and neighbors safe, but will
surely add our city and surrounding ones to that
prayer now.
Love God's word and how it is continually
teaching us truth...........and especially for such
a time as this..... that we are living in.....
Blessings and Hugs,
Nellie
