Thankful Thursday May 21, 2026, and floral bouquets

 

weeping may stay for the night,
    but rejoicing comes in the morning.

Psalm 30:5 NIV

Hello Sweet Friends,

Hope you are having a sweet day!  

We are having a sweet and restful day,

 after 4 days of  joy with our small family,

 even in the midst of Susans's  Memorial Service, 

which was on Friday, and the reason I am so 

late with this post....... but will tell you about 

it next  Thursday. Cause need to get this 

posted today.

Pics today are of floral bouquets since I didn't

have any new photos to show ya.  lol

Compliments of  Pixabay!!!

On with my Thankfuls.............

#1

Thankful I finally found what I think will be the

 perfect floral arrangement that will go with 

Susan's picture on the communion table.

Hoping the florist can make it come out the

way it looks on the website.

Thankful for a surprise on Sunday morning,

from the neighbors Daughter, that brought

me the plant for Mother's Day. She brought

us a cinnamon chocolate bread that she made

from scratch. A few months ago she came

to bring something back they had borrowed

so we had a nice long chat with her and

school which she was just so over!! and

we encouraged her to stay the course,

she came to tell us she Graduated with

her AA degree, and looks like she might

go to culinary school. That was so great

to hear, and the Cinnamon Chocolate

bread was delightful.

#4

Thankful that our church hired a seasoned Pastor 

to join our staff. He spoke this morning and it

was such an encouraging message. He is 80, 

and he and his wife have been missionaries on

the field for years, and have been in and out 

of our church for as long as I can remember

 (and we have been there almost 45 years.

He was born into a Buddhist family but lil by 

lil all of his family came to know Jesus. His 

message was "God is not done with us yet"

so as long as we are breathing God can 

still use us.  I believe that too.

#5

Thankful for the Rededication of America

Celebration on Sunday afternoon,  It was

quite enjoyable and informative and can't 

wait to see the affects of it on our culture.

#6

Thankful we got the Memorial brochure,

the Eulogy, and a poem all turned into the

church today, for Susan's Memorial Service

on Friday, so that part is all done.  

We did a lot of adding and editing

 (because different things come to you as 

you go along)  and you are having to

decide what is more important to add

and what to include in the brochure.

Altho, we were glad to do it....it was a

bit stressful cause we wanted to make sure

we got it as perfect as we could since it is

our last thing to do for her. 

#7

Thankful that I finally found the flowers

that hopefully will look perfect with her

Picture to be placed on the communion 

table, so am about to order those. Then

 the Memorial Service planning is all done.

#8

Thankful the flowers are now ordered and 

should arrive at the church on Friday.

So we are all set for the service which

will be on Friday at 3:30.

#9

Thankful our Daughter made it in safe and 

sound on Wednesday, it is so good to see

her as always.

#10

Thankful we have been had a lovely visit

on Wed. nite and then lil darling came over

on Thurs. morning and spent the day and

our Son came over later once he got home

from a trip and we all had Taco night

#11

Thankful my family remembered, with all that

was going on that we were supposed to celebrate

 Belated Mother's Day, as I had actually forgotten

 about it. 

#12

Thankful that we did our new tradition that

we started back in April the last time the

kids were here from S. Carolina,  Taco 

night, Dee and Brooklyn got a lovely dessert,

and loved the sweet gifts as always, but most

of all to have both my children and my grand

daughter present.  That was the best blessing

of all..............

Well, Folks, that is all for this week.

Glad you ould stop by

and

Have a Wonderful Week Ahead,

Love, Hugs and

last of May Blessings,

Nellie
