Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV
Hello Sweet Friends.
and
Happy New Year!!
Hope your New Year is off to a good start!!
So far, so good for us.
Not taking down my Christmas Decor yet, but just
putting away Christmas gifts and things like Christmas
dishes we used, that we keep stored and just enjoying
some cooler weather the last few days.
Hope you are doing well and basking in the memories
of your Christmas.

So on with my Thankfuls....
#1
Thankful to have a day just resting and recuperating with
our family the day after Christmas. Just made a couple
of pork loin roasts to go with all of Chistmas dinner
leftovers..........so it was great!
#2 and 3
Thankful that on Friday we all went out shopping/looking around
at "Home Sense" a store we all really love. It has everything to
do with the hone. So we all get a kick out of looking around
in there. Sometimes we find a treasure and sometimes we
leave empty handed, but we enjoyed it just the same.
We wound up with a Christmas tree collar we got for half
price. Never even heard of them until this year, anyway,
it looks great, especially since we like to leave our tree up'
with just the lights on it, all Winter......and doesn't look
strange since there are no gifts under the tree.
#4
Thankful that on the same night we discovered a new Mexican
restaurant that we had never been to, but our Daughter had.
We all wanted to celebrate our Son-in-loves coming birthday
in January since we won't see him then. We all loved this new
to us, restaurant, the food was fabulous, the service was
great, it was busy but we got in quickly and the food came
quickly. We also really liked their salsa and their guacamole,
Cause sometimes you like some things but not everything.
We loved everything!! So will be visiting there again real
soon Ahh, there was one thing we didn't like.....the music
altho nice was way too loud. I have a feeling they do that
to get people in and out quickly.............cause hard to have
a conversation!! lol It worked for us as we had been
having lots of conversations already!! lol
#5
Thankful my Daugter and Son-in-love got to go
to breakfast with our son an lil darling, and go to a game
type place for a short while. Always nice to get some one
on one time with each other.
#6
Thankful for many meaningful conversations, and just
being together, and some game playing. My Love
Cup is Full......
#7
Thankful that our Daughter and Son-in-love just happened
to see on her phone just as they were going to bed on Sat. night
that there was a bad storm coming across the U.S....and headed
toward the Carolina,s and it was supposed to hit there area of SC
about 11 a.m. today. (Sunday) So they decided to get up at 5am
to head out. So they left about 5:40 and we just heard from them
and they are home safe and sound. It started raining there just as
they were near home. So we are very thankful the Lord answered
all our prayers for their trip.
#8
Thankful for the ways the Lord goes ahead of us to protect
and help us, like having the kids see by accident that a bad
storm was coming, so they could leave early and not get
caught driving in that! Some people would say that is
a coincidence, I don't believe anything is a coincidence
in the life of a believer.
#9
Thankful we all fared well in the storm that came through.
on Sunday afternoon. It was mostly rain. In the beginning of it,
I did hear the loudest thunder clap I think I have ever heard.
#10
Thankful to hear this morning that one of our dearest
long time friends is in the hospital again and hopefully
will have his gall bladder removed next week.
This has been going on since the end of Sept.
at first, they thought he was having heart issues and
put a stent in, but then he started with bad pain all
over again, but because they had to pulled him off blood
thinners to do the stent, they could not do the gall bladder
surgery then, so they sent him home with a drain tube
in his side, which kept clogging up more an more often
so finally, he was able to see a surgeon today who
put him right in the hospital. His wife and family
are very relieved, as it was getting pretty scary at
times.......so we all feel like the Lord has answered
our prayers and he is in good hands now..
#11
Thankful that we came across a series they started several
years ago, but didn't think they were gonna do again.
It's called "Hope Valley" and it's sort of a spin off
of "When Calls the Heart". Hoping it will come
back too. They are very heart warming wholesome
stories of life in the wild west in the olden days. It is a
series written by "Jannette Oke".
#12
Thankful our church had a New Year Pray Service,
a great way to start the New Year, then afterwards
hubby and I went out to dinner.
That's it for Cozy Place this week,
This is the After Christmas,
Happy New Year Edition.
Thanks for making us a part of your day,
and hopefully your year!!
Love,Hugs, and
New Years Blessings,
Nellie
