Thankful Thursday January 17, 2025, and pics of things that make you think of January

Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.  They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 

Lamentations 3:22-23 NIV

Winter Greetings 

Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you weathering the cold

 Winter well. It is cold here in Florida and

 think it is gonna hang around for more than

 a week, which is unusual for us, but I love

 it............as far as I am concerned a

 seasonal change is a great blessing. But

 then again, we get a break from it, and

 warm up and then get it again after some

 weeks. So I know for those that don't get

 a break, it can be grueling, I am sure,

so praying for endurance for you!!

Also praying for all those in the terrible

fires in California.  Just awful.....

Pictures today are of things that make you

think of January. Tried not to make them 

to snowy looking.........brrrr.

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

#1

Thankful that a package we sent to our Son-in-love

for his birthday that we thought was stolen wound

up showing up on their porch, after our daughter

posted on a neighborhood site that her parents sent

her husband a birthday gift (The Co. name was on 

the box, and anyone would know the contents) 

but they never rec'd it yet, UPS said it was 

delivered and that it was given to the customer

which of course, it was not.............

We were praying that whoever the UPS driver

 gave it to would have an attack of conscience

and give it back.........and we sort of think that

might be what happened, as they have a ring

doorbell and no one showed up on their ring, 

so it was like someone slid it on their porch

 from the side or something.

Interesting!! We will probably never know

how it got there, but we are so grateful God

answered our prayers and that he

 got his gift...........God is good!!

#2

Thankful that hubby found a way that I can

get my favorite Christian station Z-88.3 on

the TV now.  For some reason my tuner keeps

jumping off station quite a bit recently, and

is quite annoying,  so problem solved and I

can actually hear it better from the family

room than the living room where it was.

#3

Thankful that Pres. Trump chose 

Gov. Mike Huckabee as the Ambassador to Israel, 

although we are very sad we are losing the

Huckabee show on TBN.  Can't think of a  better

person to be our Ambassador to Israel,  he has

such a heart for God and the people in Israel.

#4

Thankful for a good day at church, one of young

Pastors did the service, and a sweet lady at church

 that made a Christmas ornament for lil darling

 and has been trying to get it to us for weeks.  

Was good to see a friend I haven't seen in awhile,

 and she sat with us, also got to meet a new

 younger lady named Katie, who I already know

 her Mom, but had never met Katie, and spent 

some time talking to a new young man and 

this was only his 2nd visit to our church

 and who has a lot of questions about faith 

in Christ, and how we are to live. My kind

of day..............

#5

Thankful for lunch out with our friends as it's

been a few weeks.  Had a great time as always.

#6

Thankful for a good school day with lil darling,

It was good to see her, as it has been over 

2 weeks, but seems much longer.............

#7

Thankful that our friend that had the gall bladder

surgery, got out of the hospital on Monday 

and is now home and doing well, course, he

still has some recovery time ahead.

#8

Thankful hubby happened on a buy one get

one free deal at our Publix grocer.  They were

potato chips that are made with olive oil.

Just 3 ingredients, potatoes, olive oil and

sea salt.  We are trying to switch over to

better oils, and items with less ingredients. 

 They remind me of the "Charley chips

 we used to buy in a can when I was a kid.

 They are called "Boulder Canyon" chips. 

#9

Thankful for a warm cozy bed to sleep in.

My heart just breaks every time I hear about

the folks in N. C. who are living in tents out

in the cold and snow. I can't even imagine,

but am definitely praying for them.

#10

Thankful I was in the mood to start taking

down my Christmas decorations today, as

I haven't been before now.  lol

3 Kings Day - Jan. 12th

#11

Thankful for a great idea the Lord gave me 

for a Valentine to send out like I would a 

Christmas card.

#12

Thankful to hear from a long time friend 

who I hadn't seen at church for awhile and was

gonna call yesterday, but got distracted some

 how, and never did call.  She called this morning 

had been sick and wasn't getting better so she

went back to the Dr, and she has pneumonia.....

wasn't happy to hear about the pneumonia,

 of course, but at least we can pray for her now.

Well, that's it for this week at

Cozy Place.

Thanks for making us a part of 

your day...............

Love, Hugs and

January blessings,

Nellie
