Thankful Thursday November 20, 2025, and Fall Florals
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7 NV
Greetings Sweet Friends,
Wow, only a week until Thanksgiving,
can you believe it.....
Hope you are doing well and getting
ready for next week. Always a lovely
time with family.
I am coming along still, not quite there
yet, but doing oh so much better!!
These things take time, and pacing of
strength and energy! Doing my best
to trust the Lord that we will be ready
especially for Christmas, cause our girl
and boy from South Carolina and our
furry grandson Dog will be here!!
He has never let us down before!!
Pictures today are of Simple Fall Florals
from Cozy Place.
Now on with my Thankfuls............
#1
Thankful we got to pick lil darling up from school and
spend some time with her, and she will be here again
tomorrow to do her school work with us.
#2
Thankful I was able to drive today with
no problems.
#3
Thankful our Daughter and Son-in-love went up to their lake house for a long weekend. I Have seen on facebook pics from up there where people have seen the Northern lights. So hoping that get to see them.
#4
Thankful for another trip to the Chiro Dr.
and lil darling went with us, then we took her
home to her Dad, since she had volley call
practice. Always fun to have her with us,
and thankful to one step closer to being
done with the pinched nerve issue.
#5
Thankful that afterwards, we went to TJ Maxx
and looked around, it was so full of goodies
and people. Stayed a few hours till I just got
so tired and sore all of a sudden, so had to
leave. We were hoping to go out to dinner,
but just wasn't up to it.
#6
Thankful that we decided to just order
soup and salad from Olive Garden. It
made for the perfect Friday night, so
Jumped in my jammies, ate on TV trays
and watched a good Christmas movie
Called "Christmas Time Capsule" on
"Up Faith and Family"
#7
Thankful for a lovely surprise visit on Saturday
from some long time Vietnamese friends who are
about 20 yrs. younger than us. He used to work with
my hubby when he was single and spent quite a few
holidays with our family. Then the Co. he and hubby
worked at closed and he got married to a
really lovely girl and then they moved about an hour
or more away, so we have kept touch via phone,
text and email and have seen them a few
times, and can't believe they are now empty nesters.
So it was such a delight to see them as they are just
the sweetest kids, and wow, do they have a God
story. We are just so proud of them.....
It was truly a blessed afternoon.
#8
Thankful to be back in church today as it has been about 6 weeks. It really was so good to be there in person, as we have been watching online since this pinched nerve situation. I am a bit sore, so about to relax and use my heating pad!! lol
It was so good to see everyone!!
#9
Thankful we got some take out from Tijuana flats,
it was really yummy, as we haven't had anything
from there in a long time. Quite Satisfying!!
#10
Thankful for a couple of more Christmas movies
we watched. They were both so good. One
was called "
#11
Thankful we got to have lil darling for schooling
today, and to spend some time with. She is such
a gift and always a bright spot in our day.
#12
Thankful we got our family room furniture
moved around yesterday, so we can put our
faux tree up, so we will be ready for Christmas
decorating on Friday after Thanksgiving.

On with my Thankfuls.....
#1
Thankful for our Sweet and Smart Son
and what a wonderful Dad he is to
lil darling..........
and Thankful we got to celebrate his
birthday with him and lil darling. It
was a lil different this year because I
couldn't make his birthday dinner or
go out, but we just got take out and made
it a bit easier, but think he enjoyed it
just the same......and it was a special
blessing to all of us, as we hadn't seen
each other in a month, which seemed
like a year to me!! lol
#2
Thankful that I am doing so much better,
Have been up more and able to do some of
my normal routine things again, but still
have to be careful not to set that nerve off
again. Dr. says to be careful of twisting
and bending.
#3
Thankful to be sleeping in our bed most
of the time this week. A real treat!! lol
Thankful that Friday was our
55th Anniversary.
We of course, didn't plan anything
cause I am not wanting to sit on any
thing hard till I can find a cushion
to take with me, plus they were bringing
us dinner from the meal train as well.
So I was teasing that my Chiropractor
visit was my Anniversary Gift, lol
Hubby did get me more beautiful orange
roses and a lovely card. Love them, and
we did watch a 56 yr. old movie, that
we saw on our first blind date together.
"Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid."
and our song, from that movie became
"Raindrops keep falling on my head"
from B.J. Thomas
#5
Thankful that after my chiro appt.
yesterday we had to look for big bandaids
for hubbies back where he had the cyst
removed, so we went to Target. Cannot
tell you how much fun that was after
not going in a store of over a month,
and it's been way longer than that for
going to Target. They were playing
Christmas music and had a lot of
Christmas things out and we didn't
even got thru the whole store cause
we had to be home by 4, and we ran
into our lunch buddy friends so were
talking with them for awhile and I
was getting sore, so we had to go,
but the was just such a bright spot
in our Day!
#6
Thankful and Amazing to me
how something as small and short
as that was, but what it did for
my spirit, and can't even say
my spirit was low cause they
really weren't, but it just spoke fun
to my spirit anyway!!
Can't wait to go back again!! lol
#7
Thankful that our daughter sent us
an Anniversary card, from our shop,
via phone........and it was a card I
made, but it was as tho someone else
made it, that was just so surreal to
me, and so sweet, and they also sent
us a restaurant gift card as well.
Also our Pastor must have heard
and he sent us a text to let us know
he was praying for us and wished us
happy Anniversary,. Love how the
Lord uses seemingly small things to
bless our hearts........and how He
really does work in mysterious ways.
#8
Thankful for a nice long chat with
my Daughter.
#9
Thankful for a sweet video from lil darling
this morning telling me about an answer
she wrote about the Chronicles of Narnia.
That was a first of many I hope.
It was funny cause I was just about to
try and call her because I had a funny
dream about her and her lil dog Lola
that I wanted to share with her.
#10
Thankful that the Dr. said I can pretty
much do my normal routine things now,
just I need to be careful twisting or bending.
Think I will still need theraphy for 2X a week
for another month, then they will re-evaluate
me. Starting to do a lil bit of stretching
exercises and more walking as well.
Getting there, slow but sure!! lol
#11
Thankful to be able to make my first
batch of Beef Stew for the season.
Smelling yummy, can hardly wait
to have some. We are 48 degrees
right now, and loving it.
Note: Have to say the Beef Stew was
so so good, and I wound up making
some Chili last night for today, I only
make both dishes most of the time in
Fall/Winter. Which keeps them special
and fun to look forward to.......
#12
Thankful that my devotional took me
to John chapter 14 this morning, and
I love it was the words of Jesus, so I
read thru chapter 17. Love reading
His words (in red letters in my bible)
It is just so encouraging and reassuring.

Thankful Thursday October 6, 2025, and Pumpkins pictures
Greetings Sweet Friends,
and Belated Welcome to November.........
Wow, Thanksgivng is right around
the corner, my only thoughts about
it so far, is what can we do if I am
still not up to doing Thanksgiving
din din. Since I am feeling better,
guess, I better start thinking about
what I can do, just maybe an easier
version. There will only 5 of us,
since our SC kids can't be here till
Christmas.
Pictures today are of pumpkins..........
just because I love them!!
#1
Thankful for 2 more trips to the Chiropractor which makes me 2 step closer to being well. Course, the day afterwards doesn't necessarily feel that way cause I am so sore, but then the next day is better, so I am coming along.
#2
Thankful that I am no longer using the walker and all
seems to be going well..........for the last 6 days. YAY!
#3
Thankful for the lovely post roast and veggie dinner a
friend from our church brought tonight. Every bite was
delicious and her pot roast reminded me of my Mom's.
Also nice to get to visit with her for a short while too,
so that was very nice.
#4
Thankful that our kids are having a fun time in South
Carolina, and my daughter fills me in on what they
are doing at times, which is sweet. Cause would so
love to be there, as you can imagine!!
#5
Thankful to really be enjoying the cooler weather,
So refreshing from all that heat, still getting
to 80 later in the day, but it's still great.
#6
Thankful for all the people the Lord has used
to help us during this time, from prayer warriors,
to family members, to Drs., to friends bearing
food or phone calls and texts. It has all
been such a blessing during this time.
#7
Thankful that after I started this post
and was talking about Thanksgiving,
hubby and I put our heads together
and came up with an easy Thanks-
giving dinner plan. So it will be easy
and delicious, and if we want to add
to it, we could do that too, if we want.
#8
Thankful for these cool fall days
for ever how long they last. We
opened all our windows and doors
and let in all the cool fresh air.
It was wonderful!!
and we sat out of the porch as well.
