Thankful Thursday March 28, 2024, and Easter Decorating for 2024

 

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

1 Peter 1:3 NIV

Early Easter Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you have a lovely Spring day,

and preparing for your Easter/ Resurrection

Celebration. That has been our week, and

today we are excited because our Daughter,

Son-in-love and furry Grandson dog are

coming in this afternoon and will be here until 

tomorrow, then they are going to his parents to

 celebrate his Dad's 70th birthday.

Pictures today are of our family room all gussied

up for Easter.  My family all know Easter is all

 about

Jesus and His Resurrection from the Dead

but the lil girl in me loves bunnies and Easter eggs,

because they are just so cute, colorful and fun I 

can't resist them!!  lol

#1

Thankful for our Governor Ron DeSantis.

He is such a wonderful Governor, and can hardly

stand the thought of when his time in office is over!

#2

Thankful that I am not as sore as I was this time

last week, after my Fall........but I am still recovering

and finding bruises and soreness in other areas.

I found a bruise on my forehead which I was surprised

by, as I didn't really think I hit the top of my head

 that hard. Funny how the places that are

injured and hurt the most get all the attention and

when they start to lessen in pain and swelling

you start noticing the lesser ones and finding bruises

you didn't know you had.  lol

But I am definitely feeling better and on the mend,

but it's just taking longer than I would expect.

#3

Thankful that I found some new sandals that were

just what I needed to replace the ones I got rid of

that I feel helped me take 2 falls in the last month.

#4

Thankful for a guy friend of ours that came to vist

over the weekend.  We have known each other for

over 50 years.  He used to work with my hubby

and we met he and his (former) wife when we were

in our early 20's.  It was great to see him again.

One of those friends you kinda picked up where

you left off,  which is always nice.

#5

Thankful that my hubby is so sweet to do all our

vacuuming for years now because I have a pinched

nerve that isn't painful unless I do something to inflame 

it.  I am good for about 1 room, but more than that

causes me problems,

#6

Thankful that Easter dinner is all planned and

we went and got our ham and candies and stuff

and ordered a cake.

#7

Thankful I have all our cards and candies ready 

and lil darlings Easter basket ahead of time.

#8

Thankful I have our table planned, so when it comes

 time to set it It should go together quickly.

#9

Thankful that I found a quick and easy recipe

for "Chicken Cacciatore" and made it .  It has

been 40+ years since I have made it.  Why?

I have no idea, because it is so good, and

really not hard to make.

#10

Thankful that I remembered all the thankfuls

I had listed but this one.  I had my blog all ready

to post early this morning, but decided to change the

font (which I have done a gillion times) and it 

completely wiped out everything. Why?  I have

no idea.................lol

#11

Thankful that the Drs. office called and moved hubbies

cyst removal surgery to next week. We really did not

want to do it today, since the kids are coming, but it

was all the opening they had at the time.  So we are

very happy about that......and it is only delayed

until next Tuesday, so that was good too.

#12

Thankful maybe last, but definitely not least

is for Jesus and his Resurrection from the Dead

and the gift of eternal life that He has given to

us, and the wonderful changes to our life that He

has made over the years, which have only made our

lives better,  and for the Spiritual Blessings He 

has given to us as well, like Love, Joy, Peace, 

Patience etc.  What a gift and Friend we

have in Jesus.

Well, That's it for Cozy Place Today

Thanks for hopping by...........

and

Hope you and yours have a

 Delightful and Meaningful Easter

 with your family and or friends

Love, Hugs and 

Happy Easter Blessings,

Nellie
