Thankful Thursday May 29, 2026, and pics of floral scenes

 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;  and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?

John 11:25-26

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you well and feeling healthy.

I am feeling better today,  as I have felt like I

was coming down with something,  but think it was

just overtiredness from recent circumstances hopefully.

At this point, we are trying to finish up things  that

have to do with Susan's Homegoing and they 

are many, but we are slowly whittling them down, 

so we can get back to some sense of normalcy at least.

She will definitely be missed,  but we are rejoicing

that she is with her Lord, and is also reunited

with her parents.  So we know, she is one 

Happy Girl.

and knowing that we will see her again,,,,

 just means so long for now.  Knowing the

Lord and knowing your loved one knows the Lord

 is everything when you lose them, cause you really

didn't lose them, at least not  permanently, because

 God knows right where they are......with Him!

and we will be reunited with them one day.

What a Wonderful Gift that is....that God

has given to those who believe in Jesus.

Now...on with my Thankfuls.....

#1

Thankful that we were all very pleased and delighted with

 the way Susan's Memorial Service went, especially

 since we had worked so hard on it......

#2

Thankful that hubby, our Son and another lady named

Mary, that Susan taught school with that also goes 

to our church,  spoke, and they all did such a lovely job,

and we learned a few things about her we did not know

which was neat.

#3

Thankful for our Pastors, and everyone who participated 

and helped put the Memorial Service Together.

  Such a blessing they were.........

#4

Thankful  that they did a coffee/tea station with

muffins, as we just greeted folks as they came in and

when they were leaving which worked out great.

#5

Thankful for all who showed up to the Service

and were so kind and comforting.  A few were

nice surprises, and most were our very loving 

and supportive church family,

all were a blessing........

#6

Thankful that we were able to go out to dinner as

a family afterwards, without lil darling, but picked up our 

Daughter's Father-in-love  who went out with us.

So that was nice!

#7

Thankful that we had 2 days of just the 4 of us,

like old times........It was truly a precious time

of remembering and just fun talking and pondering,

and I can not remember that happening any

time after they were both married, which is

totally normal,  so it was a very special to us 

and hopefully to them too.

#8

Thankful that one of the days was all of us working

together to help clean out Susan's home, as our Son

is getting it ready to move into it, in August after some

renovations are done, as well.

#9

Thankful that afterwards we had a nice dinner with

London broil, baked potatoes and salad.  Easy

and delicious as we had quite an appetite after all 

that work, plus Memorial day was coming up on

 Monday and Dee and Brooklyn would not

 be here and my Son had given me some Patriotic 

table decorations, so quickly came up with a cute

table to enjoy and we loved it....so we celebrated a

 few days early, then watched some dry bar comedy.

Nice evening......

#10

Thankful that I have gotten at least half of the

thankful notes out for those who attended the 

Memorial Service. Hoping to finish that

tomorrow.  

Note: They are all done just trying to get a

few addresses, and then we can get the rest on their way.

#11

Thankful that we already found an attorney a few

months ago since we thought we were gonna have to 

apply for Medicaid, but much to our surprise.....

we need her for handling probate instead.

#12

Thankful that we are able to keep her house which

was also hubbies parents house in the family and

our Son and lil darling are delighted to be able

to fix it up in whatever way they want.  Right

now they are still  just cleaning it out.....but getting

near the time to paint, strip wallpaper and put in

new flooring.  Unfortunately, we have a time

frame due to circumstances that we had to get

 on the ball and get it done as quickly as possible.

Well, this is it for Cozy Place this week.

Guess we should call  this the

 "Rest In Peace " Susan Edition #2

Happy you could visit today,  I know our

theme has been sort of on the Sad side lately,

but it is what our life has been like the last

months.......but the Lord has been incredibly 

good to us, even during this difficult time.

Love, Hugs and last of May

Blessings,

Nellie
