Thankful Thursday August 31, 2023, Saying Good Bye to Summer decor......

You are my strength, I sing praise to you;

 you, God, are my fortress, my God on whom I can rely.

Psalm 59:17 NIV

Welcome to Thankful Thursday

Sweet Friends,

Hope if you were in the Hurricane area of Florida

that you faired well.  Our Hearts and Prayers are with

 those that were not so fortunate.  Have to say yesterday

 was a very long day.....

 as the hurricane hit Florida at around 8 a.m. and all 

our family here... were fine,  but then we had to wait 

until the middle of the night to find out how our 

Daughter and Son-in-love did.....they were fine all

 day, some rain, and mostly pretty windy, towards

evening they lost their power for awhile,  but the

 Power Co. was able to restore it fairly quick, which 

was amazing since it was so windy (they are on a 

Fire Station grid, so that's why, (They are never 

without  power for too long).  We got our last text 

at 3a.m and they said all was still fine. PTL.   

Pictures today are saying Good bye Summer decor,

Cause, Lord willing, we plan to start our Fall 

decorating hopefully, as soon as it turns September,

which I might add is tomorrow!!    

So we can at least pretend it is Fall .....

inside the house.  lol

Now on with my Thankfuls....

#1

Thankful that we decided to make a few changes

to our schedule and that it is working much

better for us. Isn't it crazy how we just do things 

but don't put a lot of thought into it,  but then when

 you do start thinking about it......just a few 

tweaks can make a whole lot of difference.

Love it.....think smarter, not harder!!

#2

Thankful for 2 really good day schooling with

lil darling on Friday and Monday, and just

 having time with her........we have been doing some

 exercise videos together....which is nice.

#3 and 4

Thankful for Kirk Cameron and his influence and leadership.  Thankful that TBN had a 2-3 hours long Special on Homeschooling that was excellent and so encouraging.

#5

Thankful that our Daughter and Son-in-love

got back home safe and sound and had a great time

at the Lake House with his parents.

#6

Thankful that our Beauty Berries are blooming

and changing from green to purple.  That is the 

most heavenly shade of purple I have ever seen!

#7

Thankful our lil bunny has been visiting us a lot

this week, sometimes twice a day even,  which is 

all highly unusual.  I think this is about the

5th day now.

#8

Thankful for take out from Tijuana flats.

#9

Thankful for a clean refrigerator.....

#10

Thankful I still have an ironing board and iron,

 cause every so often I still have to drag it out

 to iron something, cause usually our steamer will

do the trick.  But then there is linen fabric.....lol

and I am just not into the wrinkled look!!

#11

Thankful for a great Sunday....Church, then we

went to visit our friend recovering from the broken

knee cap, out to lunch at Carrabbas's, then a quick

trip to Publix, home to rest for about an hour,

then back to church for a special fellowship for our

Visitation Pastor who is retiring from that

position, but is staying on at our church and will

just be serving in other ways, just not in a paid

capacity.  Got home just in time to watch one of

our favorite Pastors on TV,  Robert Morris.

Been a good day, talking to lots of people we love.

#12 

Thankful the Hurricane Idalia went from a Cat 3

down to a Tropical Storm by the time it hit SC,

where our Daughter and Son-in-law live.  There

was possibility of it being a Cat 2 when it reached them,

but by late afternoon downgraded to a Cat 1, but

then further downgraded to a Tropical Storm

before it hit.

   

  Well, that's all folks.....

Thanks for dropping by

Cozy place, 

 Glad to have you here,  and

hope you have a great first week

of September.

Love, Hugs and 

September Blessings,

Nellie
