Thankful Thursday February 23, 2023, and a few pics from Cozy place

 

Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Then all the people said “Amen” and “Praise the LORD.”

1 Chronicles 16:36 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope you have had a less heartbreaking

week that we have had.  We know so many

folks we love who are going through so

 many hard things, that at a certain point

 on Wednesday, I just thought Lord please,

 I can't stand to hear anymore bad news,

but God.......We took the time to pray as

we were sitting in the car waiting for lil

darling to finish her dance class, and that

made all the difference in our hearts, minds

 and spirits, and our hope was vey quickly 

restored. Thankful once again for the

gift of prayer...........it is one of the best

things we can do and one of the best

gifts we can give others and ourselves.

So if you happened to be feeling over

whelmed or heavy hearted for those you

love and care about.......Talk and pour out

you heart to the Lord on their behalf.

I promise you will be glad you did.

Pictures today are sort of a hodge podge

from around our home. The white roses

were my Valentine gift, and they are the

closest thing to Spring at our house

right now.........lol  

So on with my Thankful Post.....

#1

Thankful that my friends little 5 mo. old

Granddaughter came thru open heart surgery,

but they weren't able to do the left side of her

heart, so they didn't actually close her up thinking

 they might have to go back in, then they had

 a scare last night they might have to put her 

on life support as her Blood pressure was low, 

her heart very weak, and something else and

 we were all concerned when we went to bed Friday 

night, as to what Sat. might bring, but she had

 an amazing turnaround during the night. Her

 Blood pressure normalized, her blood work perfect,

and other things that were good. Now just  a

 breathing tube and they felt like she was so stable 

enough they could close her incision.  So we are

 all praising the Lord for His answers to prayer

 once again.

Note: This poor lil baby now has a partially

collapsed lung and a lung infection, so if you

feel so led, please pray for baby Lila and

her Sweet parents.

#2

Thankful to hear that a child that was on an amber

 alert the other night was found. Love hearing

that.....

Our simple Valentines Table

#3

Thankful for another answer to prayer for our friends

Son, he has bad back problems but all of a sudden

he was in more pain that he had ever experienced

before and could not walk.  As of now his back

pain has lessened quite a bit,  so hoping to hear

that he is up and walking soon.

#4

Thankful to have gotten my kitchen floor done,

we have laminate in there, and it just needed

a good going over, you know like a Spring cleaning

type of cleaning.  lol

#5

Thankful to have had a few nice days this week

to sit out in the sun.  Feels Wonderful....

#6

Thankful for a great day at church and

the young Pastor I told you about last week

did the preaching today.  His Father-in-love

happens to be our old Pastor from our first

25 yrs. at our church. He was in town and

came to visit, it was really great to see him.

Been a long time.

The next 3 pictures are the last of our

 Christmas to Winter decor...........

#7

Thankful for a Special Service we had at our church this passed Sunday evening. It was a Music and Scripture reading service. All the music had scripture in it, an then lots of different people read different scriptures from the bible. It was such a blessing, and we all felt just bathed in the word of God.

#8

Thankful that we met a new couple at church recently that is our age, and we went out for dessert with them on Sunday Evening.  It was a delightful time, and they are definitely kindred spirits. They have been through a lot

of very hard things in the last years but have the most

gracious and grateful spirits.  So Refreshing.

#9

Thankful that we got to talk to a young woman

who was pretty inebriated, but saw us talking

outside the restaurant and came up and spoke

to us. Clearly a divine appointment. Been

praying for her all week, and hoping she

might show up for church next week.

#10

Thankful we got to have lil darling all day on Wed. and for a sleep over. Didn't get to have as much fun as we wanted to tho, cause she had school work to do, and dance class to go to, which were all unexpected, and then she was coming down with a cold and not feeling good part of the time, but we were are always thankful to get to see her

No matter the situation.

#11

Thankful that a difficult situation our Daughter

and Son-in-love had going on since November

seems to finally be coming to a partial end, hopefully

next week.  Then it will be on to phase 2, and

hopefully it will end a lot sooner than Phase 1.  lol

#12

Thankful that someone we know and love who is

experiencing marital problems have finally decided

to go to marriage counseling. So praying for the

Lord to lead them to just the right counselor and to

 soften hearts and give ears to hear!
