Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1 NIV
Pre-Hurricane Greetings, Sweet Friends,
Been a crazy week here again.....All about Hurricanes...either Helene or now Milton that is on it's way. All our Hurricane prep is done and now we wait for this ominous storm. It is suppose to come ashore tonight. We are thankful we are not close to where it will come ashore, and praying everyone that should evacuate... did.
Will try to post once it is passed us to let yall know we are okay. Course, it might be awhile if our power goes, and it probably will.
Sorry no pics today as google photos is not
cooperating with me. lol
So on with my Thankfuls.....
#1
Thankful, once again, for our wonderful Governor
DeSantis. I don't know this for sure, but I think...
he really helped to postpone this longshore men
strike, because he decided he was going to put our
national guardsmen to work in the strikers place
because of the national emergency we have going
on from Hurricane Helene. This is not a time
for a strike when so many or in so much distress
devastation, and with life and death needs. These
people need all the help they can get. I am sure
they figured more Governors might decide to do
the same as Governor DeSantis, because they
truly care about the American people.
#2
Thankful for all the wonderful organizations
like Samaritan's purse that go in and help
people at times like this. Also thankful for
so many who are giving financially and
going physically to help, and sending goods
that are needed.
#3
Thankful that lil darlings other Grandmother
is doing much better as she has had a bout
with pneumonia and was in the hospital
for about 4-5 days. She is home now,
and better, not quite 100% yet.
#4
Thankful our son has started his new job and
is getting set up with all he needs for the new
job, and already has his first customer.
#5
Thankful that some family members had the
courage to deal with an abuse situation
where their precious daughter was violated.
They have really been thru it.....
for years now, and it is still not over but
we are so proud of their perseverance and
courage and strength and are praying
for justice and protection for others kids
that could be victims as well.
#6
Thankful we got to see one of our previous
Pastors and his wife. They look great and
it was so lovely to see them. He is retired
as a Pastor as such, but they are working
in a new ministry to married couples which
is so needed these days.
#7
Thankful for a sweet call from my nephew
who lives in the Fl panhandle. He called
cause he was worried about us due to the
new Hurricane coming, and wanted us
to come there. We had such a fun con-
versation about family members who
are in heaven now, his Dad and my
Mom, his Grandmother.
#8 and 9
Thankful that we have a lot of our hurricane
prep done, just a few things to go as far
as putting things up like our grill and
outside chairs. Trying to make some food
ahead that we can heat up on the grill
if need be. Made some beef stew and
already have some chili in the freezer
and some soup. Gonna do some steaks
tonight for dinner and a few others
for the next night. Making stuff ahead
seems to help if we lose power.
We are in the cone this time but we will
be on the least destructive side of the
storm, if there is such a thing.....and if
it goes where it is supposed to go.
We are thankful that our hurricane
protection is psalm 91.
If you have never read it, read it, it
is very encouraging and peace bringing.
#10
Thankful that Dr. Phil has gotten involved
in helping the Hurricane victims in N.C.
as they need so much help, think he plans
on highlighting Fl next, as we are gonna
need a lot of help too. Our west coastline
is already a mess.
#11
Thankful that I have worked myself up
to 30 mins. on our treadmill. When we
first got it........I could hardly stand 5
mins. cause it hurt my hip joints so badly.
So I just decided to just keep doing my
Leslie Sansonne walking videos, but
recently I decided to try it again, and
lo and behold it wasn't so bad, as long
as I hang onto the handle that goes
across the top, but I couldn't swing
my arms, so now I am able to even
do that some now.
So happy about that especially since
it was my idea to buy it in the first place!
Hubby has been using it which is great.
#12
So Thankful for our Wonderful Governor
DeSantis, he is taking such good care of us.
He was just on tv telling us all of the
preparations and things he has set in place
for after Hurricane Milton comes thru,
and encouraging people to go to shelters
that are nearby in their community if
they are now thinking they should have
evacuated but didn't. Cause the storm
is now gonna be a Cat 4 instead of a
Cat 3........and will be moving across
Fl for 12 hrs. So praying that thing
downgrades a lot before it hits.
Note: It has downgraded back to a Cat 3,
and praying it keep downgrading before
it hits, or better yet just goes away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That's it for Cozy Place this week,
Decided to post early since I don't know
what tomorrow will bring, probably
no power for sure.
Thanks for coming by and
prayers please for Florida.
Love, Hugs and Blessings,
Nellie
