Thankful Thursday July 2, 2026, and all things Patriotic

We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice,

for we trust in his holy name. 

May your unfailing love be with us, Lord,

even as we put our hope in you.

Psalm 33: 20-22 NIV

Greeting Sweet Friends,

and Welcome to July............

Wow, that sure seems to have happened very fast. It was June and zoom........now it's July!  lol

Can hardly believe "Independence Day" is just

2 days away.  Having a quiet and contemplative

day here today, which is always a good thing.

Hope you are doing well....

and

Since the 4th of July is just a few days 

away,  Pictures are all things patriotic....

Now on with my thankfuls......

#1

Thankful for different fonts that we can use

 as we type whatever.............this happens to

 be one of my favs, it is called "Pacifico"

 and I just love it.   I kept thinking I have

 seen this font used somewhere before, and

I think it must be the font they use for 

"Hello Kitty" products, that was just

a free tidbit.      lol

#2

Thankful for a sense of humor......

God is so good to give us a sense

of humor, cause sometimes we need  

a good laugh at ourselves, and He

also says in this word that laughter

is good medicine for the soul. 

I could not agree more!!

#3

Thankful to see our Son and lil darling

down at Susan's house this weekend.

 We met with a window guy as the bay

 windows needs to be replaced.  He will 

be able to get 4 windows for the price of

 3, installed, as well.  So that takes care

of the front of the house, all the other

windows are in good shape, thank goodness.

#4

Thankful that we were able to go see

our lunch buddies, Dad today, he has

been committed into hospice care. He

is gonna be 104 yrs. old this week.

It was so so good to see all of them,

as sadly between us and them our lives

have just not been able to connect 

much in the last months.

#5

Thankful that we were also able to attend

 the Memorial Service of  the X husband of another long time friend who has 3 children,

and of course, they are older now, between 

the ages of 19 -25 yrs old I would say,

 and of course, they were all devastated.

We have known them thru most of their

growing up years, so really wanted to

show or love and support to them today

by going to the Memorial Service.

#6

Thankful after the other 2 events we

were able to go to dinner at Long Horn

steakhouse.  I was starving by then

and everything was so delcious.  We

have not been there in ages it seems.

#7

Thankful that another long time friend

had her ear healed.  A Dr. punctured it

and she thought she might have to have

surgery on it, but was prayed for and

 thank the Lord, when she went to a new Dr. it was completely healed.

#8

Thankful to find out that our friend who

 has been so sick finally got a card we sent.

For some reason it got wet and her post

man took good care of it, and got it to her

but it was quite a bit late. I had been

wondering if I had not addressed it

 correctly or something, as I did have an

incident where I sent a thank you out to

someone who attended Susans Service and

all she got was an empty envelope. lol

Yikes...hoping that was just because of

all the stress at the time.

#9

Thankful my back is doing better today,

I somehow hurt it again.  This almost

seems like a cyclical thing, but feel like

it is feeling better for longer and when

I do hurt it doesn't seem to last as long

Thank the Lord....

#10

Thankful God is in control of our World

and especially of our Country.

#11

Thankful to live in the United States

of America,  the best country on earth.

I lived in Germany when I was first

married, and altho we liked and enjoyed

it, we were very happy to get back home

after living there for 10 months, and

traveling to a few other countries as well.

#12

So Thankful we have freedom of religion

here and that our country was founded

on Godly principles from the Bible.

We are incredibly blessed to live here.
