Thankful Thursday April 20, 2023, Our Easter Table 2023

Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;

 let them say among the nations,

 “The LORD reigns!”

1 Chronicles 16:31 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

How are ya??  Hope this finds you doing well

 and having a great week. Been a good week 

here so far. We were happy to hear from some

sweet folks this week that we love......but sorta

 felt they didn't act like they wanted anything

to do with us for some reason.  Anyway, they

 wrote a letter to us and to other friends, and

 explained they have just been going through

some really horrific things that they did not

 have the freedom to talk about, so they were

 pretty much keeping to themselves because 

of it.

Was so sorry to hear all they have gone

through and are continuing to go through,

but at least we know why they were keeping

away and understand now how we can

 pray for them, and hopefully help to 

encourage or minister to them.

So important to be praying for those you

know and love because it just seems like

so many people are going thru so many

hard things.

Now on to brighter things..........lol

Pictures today are from our Easter Table this year.

My Inspiration was this cool paper table runner,

that I happened on when I was looking for some

wrapping paper that I might could use on the table,

so it was a pleasant surprise. Didn't even know

they made these.........I am a pastel girl, so 

these colors just make my heart sing.

 

So on with my Thankfuls.................

#1

Thankful for our home.....do you ever just walk through your house and feel overwhelmed with how much you love your home, and feel so blessed to live there with those you love, and to be able to welcome and enjoy

those who don't, into your home.

#2

Thankful for a bunch of cards I finally had time

to make this week.  About 9 I think it was!

Love when I get in those creatives moods.

 

#3

Thankful that my Daughter and

Son-in-love are doing better today.

 They got some very disturbing

News about their beloved doggie.

Today they have made a plan that

seems good, and hopefully things

will turn out better than they

sound right now.

#4

Thankful that my hubby (my Hero) was

able to get my computer up and running

again.  We lost power for less than 5 mins.

and it crashed our hard drive. and we had

a lot of work we'd done on their this week

that was not yet backed up.  So we are

praising the Lord, that we didn't lose 

anything!

                     Can you spot the tiny bunny!            

           

#5

Thankful, especially  that we didn't lose the 

9 new cards I made, and that hubby had put

 in our shop this week.

#6

Thankful for how the Lord knows just how to

hook you up with the right person to talk to,

It was so neat, our new friend called and 

shared a medical situation she was having, 

and was asking for prayer, and my daughter

 had the same situation not too long ago, so

 I was able to pray for her and share that, 

and think it set her mind at rest.

then I asked her to pray for My Daughters

dog and that story, and she had some similiar

problems with her dog and was able to give

me some information that was quite helpful

and prayed for Bentley (the dog) as well. 

 Also for hubby to be able to fix my computer

 and for his spider bite.

Love how the Lord does that!!

     

#7

Thankful for a good day at church

and that one of our students in 

missionary training did the sermon

this morning, his first time, and he

did a great job.  He is a very

 impressive young man, he and his 

wife actually and both are very

 humble.  Thankful for lunch out

afterwards, and a quick trip to

wally world to get a new surge 

protector for my computer, so 

what happened earlier this week

hopefully doesn't happen again.

We had one on there.....

 but guess it was tired!!  lol

#8 and 9

Thankful that a friend of ours brought us

 some cream (gel really) for hubby's spider bite,

 It's called Medihoney, it's the same thing

 they use in the hospital for wounds and 

burns. Just put some on so see if it does

 a better job than the Manuka honey

 we've been using.

And Very Thankful for friends that

care and have been praying!!

Note:  His wound is coming along and

the honey has definitely helped, along

with antibiotic ointment as well, but

it takes awhile, but we are definitely

seeing improvement and feel like the

infection may be all cleared up here

soon. Parts of the wound are healing

which is good.  We still aren't sure

it was a spider bite, cause he never

even knew how it happened, but 

after looking at images of spider bites

we came to the conclusion that must

be what it was..............

#10

Thankful to hear lil darling had a great

time on her Spring break from school.

Now just a few weeks or so till she is

out of school for the Summer!  We

are looking forward to that....

#11

Thankful for a fun day of schooling

and cause we got done earlier, I had

 more time to have a lot of fun with

lil darling.  

#12

Thankful for the fruit of the spirit that God

 cultivates in the lives of Believers. 

 Love, Joy, Peace, Patience,  kindness,

goodness, long suffering, gentleness,

 faithfulness and Self Control. 

 ( Galatians 5:22-23)

It tends to help make some wonderful

human beings!!  and if we know Jesus

we should all be growing in them

more and more each day.

Well, that's it for today.

Thanks for dropping by

and 

Have and Amazing rest of the week.

And Eat some Candy,

  it will make you happy!!  lol

Love, Hugs and

Mid April Blessings,

Nellie
