The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.

Note to  Sandi over at  Dandelion tea:

I have been to your blog numerous

times and tried to leave comments,

but it always says there is an error,

so tried to answer your comments

on my blog, but it does the same thing

So that is why you haven't heard 

from me. 

On with my Thankfuls.....

#1

Thankful for a lovely night out celebrating

our Anniversary and our  Son's birthday 

with he and lil darling.

#2

Thankful for the lil things I have been seeing since the election is over, that are vert interesting and delightful to me. Hubby went to Dunkin Donut the day after, and they gave him a free sandwich and a  Senior discount, and he goes there about every 7-10 days, and that has never happened before, and then we went out to Longhorn steak house for our Anniversary/Birthday celebration and  Somehow it came up in our conversation with our server while we were waiting on our  Son and lil darling to come, that we were celebrating   our Anniversary, and she asked how many years, and thought it was great we were married 54 years. then we said we are also celebrating our  Sons birthday too.  So once, they came  She took great care of us and was such a sweet and pleasant girl and at the end of our dinner  she asked us if we wanted dessert and we said No, because we were going home to eat Banana pudding, (both my guys fav dessert) and she left and in a few mins. came back with 2 beautiful ice cream desserts, and also gave us an Anniversary card and our  Son a birthday card!  Now, I have never seen that done before!  and I said, Thank you for helping to make America be great again! and she smiled a big smile.  I see so many people trying to do small things that add so much joy  to others lives..............I just love that!!

And hope it will be on going, as it is wonderful to see others thinking about someone else besides themselves, all the time.

#3

Thankful for another good school day with lil darling.

#4

Thankful lil darling has memorized half of Philippians chapter 2, and I will wind up memorizing it all.  Not an easy chapter to memorize, but great she has done it.

#5

Thankful to get a lot of lose ends done this week that I have had on my to do list.  Such a great feeling...........lol

#6

Thankful for a hair trim, always makes

my hair  more manageable.

#7

Thankful for bible stories and how

they can match with real life so

many times, and many times help

to direct our path.

#7

Thankful for our sweet neighbors who gave us some of her delicious vegetable soup. I was just thinking about it today, as she usually makes it in the Fall.  Such a sweet and surprise gift.

#9

Thankful for the veggie soup as it is not

only delicous but nutrious as well.

#10

Thankful the the GOP won the House 

and the Senate.

#11

Thankful for updates that I see on facebook reels of the progress in North Carolina. I know they still need a lot of help and prayers, but it is wonderful to see how our country has responded to this disaster.

#12

Thankful for all our Veterans and their families who sacrifice so much for the sake and protection of the people of this country.  We thank you for your service, you are so appreciated, and May God  Bless you!

That's it for this week at Cozy Place.

Have a Happy rest of the week,

and

Bless you for coming by......

Love, Hugs and

Early November Blessings,

Thankful Thursday, November 7, 2024, A Thanksgiving table from the past

From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of 

the Lord is to be praised.  Psalm 133:3 NIV

                                               Greetings Sweet Friends,

How's You and Your's today??

Well, today is our 54th Anniversary....

We don't have big plans, but we do plan to go 

out to dinner with our Son and lil darling,

to celebrate our Anniversary and His Birthday,

which was this week as well. We actually brought him

home from the hospital on our 7th Anniversary.

So he was our Anniversary Gift  then and now!

We also have something fun coming up in a few

weeks, that we are looking forward to.....

            Pictures today, since Thanksgiving is not far away,

 are of a Thanksgiving Table from the past,

Here at Cozy Place. Figured by now some

of you are looking for ideas, like me!  lol

If you'd like to see the original post click here.

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

#1

Thankful today is our 54th Anniversary!

Hard to wrap our minds around that is has

been that long.........and it's been a good life,

with more ups than downs.

#2

Thankful that I happened to find a Fall Poem I 

wrote some years back,  but hadn't quite finished,

 and had aFall picture that I wanted to make a card

 out of,  and this was the perfect compliment to it.

#3

 Thankful for our Comfy Cozy Bed.  I have to

say I love our bed, and I love it even more now that

we got the new mattresses,  which came with these

amazing sheets, that are so soft and luxurious feeling.

#4

Thankful I have been making some new cards

for our shop.  

#5

Thankful that we think, at this point,  we have

 a problem solved that was very strange that came 

up with our Card Shop website. We are

thinking they are spammers or hackers possibly.

Note: Now we know for sure we were hacked

 because we kept on getting email from people about

someone trying to charge their credit card and bank 

cards and wanting to know why, since they had never

 even heard of our website or been to it.  

We were notified by one of our payment plans

 that we used to use, but  had disengaged (when

we decided to go to Free cards), that we had

  been hacked, so we had them close that account,

  so hopefully things are officially solved now.

#6

Thankful to hear from most of our Pastors this

morning, that they really appreciated their Pastor

 Appreciation cards, we sent them this week.

#7

Thankful for some great Mexican food for lunch 

after church.  This was our 4th time to go there,

 and I got Fajitas this time and they were really so good.

#8

Thankful my Son and lil darling made it home

 safe and sound from my Daughter and Son-in-loves

and that they all had a great time together as usual.

#9

Thankful lil darling spotted 2 red headed woodpeckers

in our woods this morning. Haven't seen any of them

around here in a few years.  It was fun to watch

them for a bit.  We were wondering if maybe

they were building a nest.

#10

Thankful that lil darling saw a giant locust on the

 front of our house when she was looking out the 

window.  We had them some years back and 

they were smaller and oh my goodness, we could

 not believe how much they can eat.

So unfortunately he came to an early demise.

Definitely helped me understand more about

 the bible story when Moses was taking the 

Israelites out of Egypt and God sent a plaque

 of locusts that devoured their crops!  lol

#11

Thankful for our friends Father.  He is 102+ yrs. old.

He serviced in World War 2, and was a Pastor,

and just the most amazing Godly man.  His vision and

hearing are quite impaired, but he gets around pretty well 

in spite of it, and lives with his Daughter and her hubby.

He never complains and is just fun to be with as he

jokes a lot.  Everyone should have a Grandfather like

him,  He is such a joy!  He is being honored this

week for his military service, and that has to be about

the 5th or more times now.

#12

Thankful that the Presidential election is finally over.

and that we had a fair election, and we found out 

who our President was gonna be the night of the

election, rather than weeks later like in 2016.

(Which had never happened to our knowledge

before that time). and Thankful for God's Mercy

and Grace upon our Country....to give us a new

President that is gonna look out for America,

 and her people. 

That's it for Cozy Place this week.

Thanks for stopping by

Have a great rest of the week,

Love, Hugs and

First of November  Blessings,

Thankful Thursday October 31, 2024, and Fall pictures

The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever."   

   Isaiah 40:8 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

and Happy Halloween to those who

celebrate it.  We get a kick out of giving

 out candy to the trick or treaters and

seeing their costumes but we don't get

 many, sometimes none, which is a bit disappointing for us!  lol

Anyway, hope you are having a good

 week and enjoying the Fall Season in

 every way possible.  It's been in the

 80's here all week, so hoping for some

more Fall weather soon,  it's time!

course, in Florida it sort of comes

and goes,  it is cooler at night and

in the early morning hours, thankfully.

Pictures today are of Fall pictures

compliments of Pixabay.  From

up north, obviously, not in Florida.  lol

So on with my Thankfuls....

#1

Thankful that we got some Christmas

 shopping done for lil darling.

#2

Thankful for clean water, clean home,

 food and electricity. I am reminded of

how blessed we are everytime I see reels

 from N. Carolina on facebook.

#3

Thankful we finally got our porch cleaned

up after Hurricane Milton.  Still have to

 put everything back yet. It has to dry first.

#4 

Thankful for a sweet Sunday morning

and hearing one of our young Pastors

again.  He does such a great job, and

he is so who he is.....  Love that about him.

#5

Thankful for lunch out at Olive Garden

just me and my hubby.  Had a lovely

server,  and a lovely lunch.

#6

Thankful that one of our long time

friends is okay.  He had a heart attack

and is in the hospital,  and already had

a heart cath and he needs 2 stents put

in, but they have to wait a few days to

get him off his blood thinners.  So far,

He is doing fine.  Praying for no heart

damage.

Note:  Stents were put it yesterday

and last I heard he was in recovery.

Text his wife and have not gotten

a response back yet, so praying all

 is well. Their youngest Son is there,

 so hopefully they are just visiting.

#7

Thankful for Pumpkin spice bread I

made this morning (Monday) from the

 same mix, we got at Sams and that I made

 the pumpkin spice pan cakes with

last week.  Yummy!!

Note: Think I will be making more

 pumpkin bread soon,  we enjoyed it

 so much.

#8

Thankful for our Wonderful Governor

DeSantis, who spoke out on several

Amendments we had to vote on, and

told the truth about acceptions that

were already law for us in Florida

as we had been seeing adds that 

did not tell the whole truth.  

#9

Thankful our Son and lil darling are

taking a trip up to see our Daughter and

 Son-in-love this week.  They always

 have a great time, and lil darling 

absolutely loves her Aunt Dina.

Note: Thankful they got there safe

and sound.

#10

Thankful that I have eyes to see,

and ears to hear physically and

spiritually.

#11

Thankful to have our porch all back

together now.  Still have to clean our

chairs, but hopefully will get to that

this week.

#12

Thankful our Son-in-love is doing

okay.  He cut his big toe pretty bad on

a glass bottle someone threw in their

yard,  Just trying to check his mail. 

Thankfully he is off this week, so he

can stay off it a few days. The Dr.

used that dermabond stuff on him,

so hopefully that will do the trick.

#13

Thankful that I was able to finish 

detailing my kitchen this week.

Well, that's it for this week

at Cozy Place.

Happy you could stop by....

Love, Hugs and

End of October Blessings,

Scripture Sunday - There are 6 things the Lord hates

 

According to God's word

 God says we are to hate the things He hates

 and

love the things He loves.

Romans 12:9, Proverbs 8:13, and

Psalm 97:10 are just a few scriptures 

that tell us that.

Have very Blessed Day,

Thankful Thursday October 24, 2024, and more Fall decorating, Part 5

 

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Psalm 139:3-14 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope you are doing well, and starting

to anticipate all the fun that is ahead

the next few months. Of course, that

includes work too,  but I find it to be

fun work, how about you??

Not been a super busy week here as

I felt like I was fighting off something

the first part of the week, so was sort

of taking it easy, but feeling much

 better yesterday and today. Yay!!

Pictures today are of more Fall decorating

 in the foyer and living room.  

On with My Thankfuls....

#1

Thankful for pumpkin spice pancakes, that

 I made from a mix I bought at Sams. 

 They were very tasty and yummy.

#2

Thankful to see the invest out there, that

has turned into a tropical storm Oscar has

 done a u-turn, and looks like it is going

up into the middle of the Atlantic. I have

no doubt that is the answer to prayer of

many, many Hurricane weary Floridians.

Note: It has completely dissipated!!  Yay!! 

Now that is some great news.

     Had to make a picture to sort of match

with the one on the long wall, so used

a pc. of scrapbook paper, and then found

a picture of a wreath and printed and

cut it out and taped it all with double

sided tape.  Easy Peasy and Pleasy!!

#3

Thankful for a nice long chat with my

Daughter today.  One of my favorite

things to do.  Of Course, we would like

it more if it was in person, but it's the

next best thing!!

#4

Thankful that some one posted on facebook

how to get rid of unsavory posts that you

don't care to see.  Just in case you are

 interested go up to the 3 dots in a row

 and click, and it will give you a choice

 of what to click on.  Happy to get that

piece of information, cause this is really

the first time I have had that happen

in a long time, and think my hubby

must have fixed it for me before.  lol

Lil darlings school picture from last year.

#5

Thankful that we made pork ribs for

the first time maybe ever..... or at least that

 I remember anyway. lol  Saw a recipe

 to just bake them at 275 degrees for

 2-3 hrs.,  then put them on the grill

for a short time and put the BBcue sauce

 on. They were fall of the bone tender and

delcious!!   Will definitely be doing that

again in the near future.

#6

Thankful for a great day at Church.

We had one of our younger Pastors

preach, and then the other younger

one, and his children did the music,

as our normal music minister and

family are away on a mission trip.

Love the pillow, but put the white quilt over

 the sofa to protect it from the sun which

comes in the windows this time of year.

#7

Thankful for a great time spent with

our lunch buddy/friends afterwards.

#8

Thankful that I have gotten half of my

 kitchen detailed, and hoping to get the rest

 done today, which is Monday.

Note:  Which never happened, maybe

next week.  lol

#9

Thankful that Hurricane Oscar is now a 

tropical storm and did a u-turn away from

Florida and is headed to the middle of the

Atlantic ocean. I told my hubby that is

because of the prayers of a whole lot of

hurricane weary Florida residents.

Note: It finally blew out in the middle

of the Atlantic about Tues. or Wed.

Yay Jesus!!

#10

Thankful for Sunrises and Sunsets,

not only are they beautiful but they

are a reminder of God's faithfulness

to us daily.

#11

Thankful that I have been in the mood

to make cards this week.  So have been

working on Pastor Appreciation Cards,

for our Pastors.

There is still time for someone to go

to our "Free Card Shop" and print one

for your Pastor/ or Pastors. Check us

out on my right sidebar,  and look

under occasion/ministry cards.

#12

Thankful we got to pick lil darling up

from school yesterday, (that's a rare 

thing these days now since we home

school on Mon and Fri.) and then we

 and her Dad (our Son) all went out 

to dinner together.

Wishing you.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well,  that's all for this week at

Cozy Place!

Great you could stop by

and

Hope you have a cool (weatherwise) 

and Joyful rest of the week.
