Thankful Thursday February 12, 2026, and Winter decorating (for Valentines day) #3

 

“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven,

And do not return there without watering the earth

Isaiah 55:10 NIV

Hello Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you warm and cozy wherever you are. It has warmed up here, but turned to gloomy overcast weather now, as we had beautiful sunny days after all the storms,  so missing the sunshine the last few days, and hoping this gloomy looks like Winter weather flies away soon!    I imagine you can relate to that. lol

We are all gonna really appreciate Spring more than normal this year I have a feeling.

Pictures today are in our kitchen.  Last year I didn't decorate for Valentines day and I missed it,  so this year decided to do it in our kitchen.

#1

Thankful for a clean house, especially

 our bedroom, cause it needed a

 good dusting for sure. So happy I am

 much better and we were able to do

 it ourselves. Was beginning to

 think we might need to call a maid

 service, but I would rather do it

 myself, if and when I can.

#2

Thankful for a utube video I

 happened on by a young lady named

Jenna Pierce, and because I love home

 decorating I really enjoy her content, 

and even found we could play it on

 the TV too, which makes it just seem

 like a show on TV. She give a lot of

great tips and information.

Watched this last night, it's their

living room reno.  Not into that style

of decorating, but still enjoyed it

 cause she really has the basics of

decorating down well.

Thankful for these adorable lil battery powered lamps we got from our Son for Christmas. They are very simple, stylish and just what we needed. We can't plug a lamp in by our sofa cause it sits out in the room, so this was perfect!!  Now I can sit on the sofa and read, and it has become a cozy lil reading nook now.

Loving it!  See pic below...

See the brass lamp right at the

 end of the sofa

#4

Thankful for a fun night out just going

 to Aldi, Michaels and dinner at Olive

 Garden.  Haven't been out of the

 house in over 2 weeks,  so it was

 lovely, and well needed.

#5

Thankful we got to have lil darling here with us today. Since she doing most of her work herself these days,  she stays home on the days she

 doesn't go to school.  So we miss

her, but she is gonna be 13 soon,

so we knew these days would come.

Sad but true, course, I have to say

it worked out at the same time I

was having all my back issues.

#6

Thankful the Lord revealed to me

the need to write a letter to some

one explaining about something

 that happened many years ago.

 So looking forward to seeing the outcome of it.

#7

Thankful that our first lady of Florida, Cassie DeSantis is looking into this candy laced with arsenic situation.

Was listening to her on a show this

morning and it seems to be in most

of the candy kids like the most.

and why would arsenic be in our

kids candy at all???

#8

Thankful that McDonalds had

their strawberry/cream cheese pies again. They are so good,  I am thinking probably just for

 Valentine's day, but who knows

they might surprise us

#9

Thankful that my new wedge

shoes from DSW, our daughter 

found for me..... came and they

look pretty good even tho they

aren't as high as my heels, still

look better than flats, and look

okay with a couple of dresses

I tried.  Course, haven't worn

them for for any length of time 

yet,  so will see.

#10

Thankful I was able to finally go back to church yesterday. It was a great day really.  Good sermon and my new wedge shoes worked out great. Unfortunaely our lunch buddies weren't there, so we went to lunch

 just the 2 of us, which was fine and

the food was better than usual. and then had a good afternoon, and I

felt good all day.  got to talk with 

my Daughter some too.

#11

Thankful to also have the priviledge to talk to a young  to me, but really a middle age Mom,  who is going through the empty nest phase in life.

She is a sweetie and a great Mom.

#12

Thankful that I finished reading that lil book I was telling you about "Secrets of the Vine"

by Bruce Wilkinson. It was a huge encouragement just like the last time

 I read it 20+ years ago.

If you are a Christian, and you are in an adverse or wilderness time in your life you just might want to read it yourself.  I would highly recommend it!!  As I am very Thankful for

such a book as this.....
