Thankful Thursday January 30, 2025, and pictures of Winter decor

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you doing well, and not feeling too

lazy from all this cold weather.  I have to confess

I have had a hard time being motivated on these

cold days, but we are back in the 70's and think

we are even going into the 80's this week,  so that

should help get me moving again!!  lol

Pictures today are of our Winter look in the family

room. Finally finished................whoo hoo!

It might still look a lil bit Christmasy in some

places, but I love it..........cause I love Christmas

and especially I love Jesus who it represents.

So on with my Thankfuls.....

#1

Thankful for elderberry w/ vitamin C  gummies, B- complex

 and listerine gargles along with  prayers that have kept me from 

getting really sick.

#2

Thankful for the visit with our long time friend Don,

 we went out to dinner then we continued our visit until 

12:30 pm., went to bed and visited all morning long, 

and we had a nice breakfast here, and then he had to

 get on the road.  He is meeting his Daughter and her

family and they are going on a cruise for the week.

He  might come back next week on his way back.

#3

Thankful that our Daughter and hubby faired

well in the snow storm last week.  Still waiting

on it all to melt, and their doggie just loved it.

Note; Finally melted, but sure took it's

sweet time.  lol

#4

Thankful for 2 free delicious subs from our Publix

Grocery store.  We had called in an online order

and they were incredibly busy, and had not even

started our sandwich at the pick up time, so hubby

wound up waiting almost 45 mins., so they said

the subs were on them. (I have a sneaking suspicion

that we got them free because hubby is so understanding

and patient) Such a lovely surprise...........

and they were so good too!

#5

Thankful for a good day at church, our Lead Pastor

who is retiring spoke today.  It is his last time to speak 

to us as our Lead Pastor  and it was such a personal

message to the congregation.  Sweet and Funny

at times.  Sad but hopeful, but he will be filling in

for the other Pastors at times. He and his wife

were such a blessing...........

#6 and 7

Thankful for the wonderful tribute and farewell

send off,  they gave to he and his lovely wife.

It was supposed to last from 5-7 p.m. and

we only got to stay for the first part which was 

only supposed to last about an hour or so, but

didn't end until 7 and they still had a fellowship

with dessert and snacks after that.  It was 

really a blessing to be a part of,  so much love

in one room.  Awesome!

Thankfully we had gotten to talk to he and his

wife in the morning after church, cause we had to

leave at 7 as we had plans to go out to dinner

with our Son and lil darling.  Thankful we 

all got to go out to dinner together, and we also

got to see our favorite server.......lol

#8

Thankful for another good school day with

lil darling.  She is great about staying on task.

#9

Thankful for chocolate pudding pie.  I made

it in like 5 mins. and it was so yummy. Haven't

had it in years.........

Easy peasy, just get a graham cracker pie crust,

whip up some instant chocolate pudding and put it

in the pie crust, add some whip cream and your done.

Our Mom's used to make pudding and jello all

the time as desserts when we were kids.

#10

Thankful for an absolutely gorgeous sunset I

saw on Tuesay evening, pinks, peaches and lavendars,

breathtasking!!

#11

Thankful that President Trump visited  the

Western North Carolina area last week,  and

that I saw a reel  on facebook, where they were starting 

to get help.  It said,  "Here comes the Calvary",

and showed a ton of dump trucks lined up to start

clean up.....Awesome!!  It's about time!!

#12

Thankful that I have been in process of making

Valentine's cards for my family.  Have a

couple that are completed, but more to go.....
