Thankful Thursday April 10, 2025, and Family room qussied up for Spring/Easter

See! The winter is past,  the rains are over and gone.

Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land.

Song of Soloman 2:11-12 NIV

Hello Sweet Friends,

OOPS...Just posted this and realized 

I forgot to do my opening greeting!! 

So in case you were wondering what  

happened to that post,,,,

So had to pull her back in.....lol

So how are you today??

I hope you have been having a truly

blessed week.  Ours has been good,

doing some work in our shop this

week, since Easter is coming up soon,

 and also starting to think about what to 

make for Easter din din and what to do

 for our Easter table. Had thought about

doing a Ham, but have changed my 

mind and am going to do my Party

Chicken recipe, which is always a hit.

Click here, if you would like to see 

the recipe. ( Just scroll down a lil one

you get there.)

Have some ideas about the table too.

Just have to try them out!!

 

Pictures today are of our Family Room 

all gussied up for Spring and Easter.

Be prepared for Bunny Heaven.......

I love bunnies and Easter eggs, but

I definitely also know that Easter

is all about Jesus.

So on with my Thankfuls....

#1

Thankful for a great deal hubby got

on a new coffee pot.  It would have

been $40 at Amazon and he got it

for $20. at Wally World and it was

delivered the next day, which was

really nice since ours was broken.

Who doesn't love a great deal.

#2

Thankful that I finished all my Spring

Easter decorating and pack everything

away, and it is such a refreshing change.

#3

Thankful for a good day with lil darling,

Not a lot of work as she will be on Spring

break next week.  She had time to make

an Easter card for our shop. 

 She did a great job!!

#4

Thankful we found a new season of a

fairly new series we weren't sure if it

was going to continue or not.  So we

found Season 2 of "When hope calls"

and it's on "Pureflix".  If you have ever

watched "When calls the Heart" then

you will love it.  Hoping another season

of that comes out too.

#5

Thankful for a really great evening

with our Son and lil darling celebrating

my birthday a lil late,  dinner, talking

and playing games, my favorite kind

of day. Guess my birthday is officially

 over for this year!!  So it went out

with a bang,  My Mom heart is full....

#6

Thankful for peanut butter pie my hubby

got for us from Perkins.  It was delicious,

and enjoyed by all of us.

#7, 8 and 9

Thankful to be able to attend church today,

and also thankful to finally hear who is gonna

be our Pastor now that our other one has

retired.  We were very Thankful for the

news.......turns out it is gonna be both of

our younger Pastors, (when I say younger

I mean they are in their 40's, so that is

young to us.  lol)  The church has decided

to let them Co-Pastor our church, they are

both men who are very committed to our

Lord and are very Good friends, and have

worked well together in other situations.

So hubby and I are beyond thrilled cause

one of them and his wife we have watched

grow up in our church, and the other

one has Pastored in our church for quite

some time, but moved away to Pastor a

church in Tenn. for about 6-7 years,

all the while some of us were praying 

for the Lord to send him and his family

back, which HE did, and his wife also

grew up in our church for a lot of years,

so we also knew her as well.

To say we are excited about the Lords

direction would be an understatement.

Isn't she cute!  

#10

Thankful that we saw and were able to

get a snake out of our garage very quickly.

We opened our side door to take out 

some trash and I was standing outside

and hubby thankfully inside, and the

door was still open, and I saw the 

snake go right in the edge of the door

and screamed, of course, (I take that

scripture in the bible about the woman

having enmity with the serpent very

seriously. lol) Anyway, hubby was able

to get the broom and run him right

back out........my Hero!!  

#11 and 12

Thankful for Post "Great Grains" cereal.

We enjoy the Cranberry and the blueberry

cereal the most, and I am

Thankful for Better Homes and Gardens

magazine and this months cover especially.

I woke up hungry at 6 a.m., and knew

I wasn't gonna get back to sleep unless

I ate something, so I got up and had

a bowl of great grains, an when this

happens which is not very often, I like

to look at a magazine while I am eating

cereal, which is typically Better Homes

and Gardens which I really enjoy and

this months cover is just so stunning

it makes my heart happy every time

I see it.  See  pic below. Those flowers

are from Crabapple trees.  Gorgeous!

This pic really doesn't do it justice

cause of the shadows and shinyness,

but I tried............lol

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That's it for this week at Cozy Place.

Have a lovely day 

and

Thanks for spending some time 

here today.

Love, Hugs, and

Early April Blessings,

Nellie
