Thankful Thursday May 1st, 2025, Happy May and Happy National Day of Prayer

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.                          1 Timothy 2:1-2

Welcome to May....Sweet Friends,

Can't believe we are entering May but

Very excited that this is the National

 Day of Prayer for our nation.

I totally believe in prayer and

that  God hears every prayer even

when it doesn't seem like it or 

we don't get an answer right away.

Hope you are gonna participate in

it, either at home or at church.

Your prayers are important to

our nation, for sure.  Every year

I like to watch what happens after

the National day of prayer and you

can see good things happening for 

months afterwards, and it makes

 me wish we had it more than once

 a year. Course, we can have those

 results still..... if we are all 

 committed to pray for our leaders

and nation daily ourselves!!

On with my Thankfuls.....

#1 and 2

I am thankful for the national day

of prayer every year, and I am

 thankful for the gift of prayer

and what a blessing it is....and the

peace that it brings to my life

and the lives of others.

#3

I am thankful for our church that we

have been a part of for almost 45 + years,

 and all the churches across our country

 and in other countries across the globe.

#4

I am thankful first and foremost for

The Father, His  Son, Jesus and Holy Spirit

 who is the reason for the church,  prayer

and the Bible in the first place.

#5

Thankful for the Bible and the truth,

teachings and guidance that it brings to

 our lives every time we read or hear it.

#6

Thankful for our President and Vice

President and their families and

 administration.  Thankful too,  for 

what  great leaders they are and that they

take their job of protecting the Constitution

 and the American People seriously, as well, 

as trying to keep peace in the world. 

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no  authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.” – Romans 13:1

#7

Thankful for the Presidential pray team,

 that helps us to know what and who to pray

 for on a daily basis, as our country needs

 all the prayers it can get.

#8

Thankful for grocery stores,

 especially Publix, Walmart neighborhood,

 and Aldi.........Some people really disdain 

going there, but I have always enjoyed

going grocery shopping, if I am not having

 to rush. That tends to take the fun out

 of it for me, anyway!

#9

Thankful hubby found those new

Wedding flower hydrangeas online

today and they were a really good

price, so we were able to order

2 and get free shipping.  They

will arrive on Wed., so hoping

they look good! They don't have

them at any of the nurseries in our

area so you have to order them if

you want them.

Note: they arrived today, and they look

 pretty good just a lil bit wilty, but it was

 hot in that box I am sure.  So we are

gonna baby them and ease them into

the potting and the sun, so as not to

shock them too much. Can't wait

to see them bloom which will be

a bit I would imagine.

     These aren't them, but just another one like them.

#10

Thankful we were able to attend

 the installation service for our

 Two  Co- Pastors  It was a really

a lovely service and everyone

loves them both so much.  The Lord 

has really blessed our church with

these Two Godly young men ( they

are in their early 40's) but young

 to us!  lol    Also with their lovely

 wives, and family.  All of their

 children are musically inclined, which

 is so amazing. One Pastor has three

 children, the other has five children.

What a blessing they all are!!

#11

Thankful that I made Chicken salad

last week, and it was so great to just

have it in the fridge for snacking.

So decided I am gonna do this weekly

and just rotate between, Chicken,

Ham, Tuna and Egg salad. It was

really so handy and made for a great

go to,  that made us happy.  lol

Note:  Not too crazy about the

ham salad, so will probably

take that off the rotation.  lol

#12

 Thankful that I was able to get a

Prayer checklist for America from

the Presidential prayer team for

today.  If you wish to get one you

can go to the above address on #7

and should be able to find one.

#13

Thankful that we saw 2 bunnies in our

backyard yesterday morning, and 2 squirrels

all out and having breakfast and running

around.  So Cute!!  We love that we have

woods around us, cause we so love

and enjoy the wildlife.

Not them, but looks like them!!  lol

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, that is it for Cozy Place this week.

This is the National Day of Prayer Edition.

Thank You for coming by,  

always happy to know you were here.

Love, Hugs and

Early May Blessings,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday April 24, 2025, Our Easter Table 2025

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.  

  1 Peter 1:3

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope you all had a lovely Easter

with family and or friends/loved ones. 

We sure did....

I am thankful I am feeling better

this morning, cause we worked out

side yesterday and last night my

back was really smarting up in my

middle back, which has never happened

before, and it hurt just to breathe, but

it is almost normal this morning.

Thank the Lord.  Have to say it is

really a beautiful day out too.

So hope it is like that where you

live as well.

Pictures today are of our Easter

Table this year, 2025.  Have to

say I am infatuated with this table

cloth I found on accident. I actually

bought it and others cause they were

a great deal and I thought I might

be able to use them for curtains, but

 much to my dismay and time pressure 

I wasn't sure they would work and 

we were soon leaving for my daughters

and didn't want to get stuck with

them as they weren't all the same size,

 so decided to take them back, and I

was bummed, but hubby said why 

don't you just keep one and use it

 for the table, which was a great idea.

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

#1

Thankful for a fun night out, and being able

to get the last of the things we need for Easter

dinner and a few things for lil darling, that

we had completely forgotten about with all

the other preparations and happenings. 

Thankful we remembered before

 it was too late. 

#2

Thankful for another good school day.

It was great to see lil darling as it 

has been a couple of weeks, cause she

was off for a week having fun.

#3

Thankful all the food is prepared and

ready to stick in the oven tomorrow.

#4

Thankful lil darlings Easter Bag is

done, and I did a bowl of Easter

candy for the rest of us.

#5

Thankful I just finished steaming the

tablecloth I haven't used before, but

is so beautiful, so excited about how

the table will look.

#6

Thankful table is all set and ready, and

 I can rest now, as I am whipped.  lol

  But a good whipped.

#7

Thankful for a lovely Easter Service

and lovely and fun day with our family.

Good food, Good fellowship and fun times.

Unfortunately, Dee and Jerry couldn't be

 here, but we did text and talk with them. 

They had a good day at home as well.

#8

Thankful that I got to meet our new

neighbors, hubby had already met them

when he was out mowing.  They are

a lovely young couple that moved up

from South Florida, and they are 

originally from Ecuador.  Had a very

enjoyable time talking with them, and

think we might get together soon.

#9

Thankful that we have nothing that

we had to do today (Monday)

as I am still tired from this last

 week of activity.  So I am only 

doing what is needed today.  lol

#10

Thankful that I saw in Southern living

 magazine that they have a new variety of

 hydrangeas that are "sun loving".  They

 are called "White Wedding hydrangeas". 

 I love any type of hydrangeas but have 

had no luck growing them because they 

all like morning sun, and never had

 a good spot to put them, so unfortunately,

 they all died. So think we are gonna

 try some of these, if we can locate them.

#11

Thankful we got out and worked in

the yard some trying to clean up some

in the area's where they took the trees

down, cause some stuff got squashed

unfortunately.  Looking better already,

more to go tho......lol

Worked outside again this morning

trimming bushes and accomplished 

quite a bit more than we expected

 just in another area of the front yard.

Will get back to the other area next

week hopefully.

#12

Thankful that one of our friends

Grandson who is not yet, two yrs.

old came thru an endoscopy and

partial colonoscopy well, and they

saw no problems, but did biopsy

something they don't think will be

 anything, but had to do the biopsy. 

 So if you feel so led, please

 pray that comes back negative.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well,  that's it for Cozy Place 

this week.  This is the Easter Edition.

Thanks for your visit,  always

 happy to know you came by.

Have a wonderful rest of April...

Can hardly believe in less than a week

we will be into May..........Wow.

Love, Hugs, and

End of April Blessings,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday April 17, 2025, and Spring/Easter decorating Part 2

“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.”           Revelation 4:11 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope you are doing well, and I would

imagine you are making preparations

to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord

on Sunday. That's some of what our

week has entailed, and I have been busy

making some new Easter cards as well.

Pictures today are of  Spring /Easter

 decorations at Cozy Place, part 2, 

  the dining room/ hallway area. 

Now on with my Thankfuls. . . 

#1

Thankful that hubby got rid of all the ferns, that snake, I was telling you about last week, was hiding in, before he slid in our garage door.  So now he can run slide but not hide, at least there anyway!!  lol

I was a bit uneasy about going out that   door............so feeling much better about it now.  

#2

Thankful for a fun night out going to

Marshalls, Home Sense and out to dinner

at our fav Mexican restaurant.

Sorry for the glare...

#3

Thankful that I found a basket just the

right size to put my cutting boards in,

and we cleaned the cabinet out and got

rid of some stuff, and now it is all neat

and tidy and no more sliding cutting 

boards.  Amazing how long we put up

with stuff until we make a conscience

effort to find a solution. Now this

aggravating problem solved.

Doing the happy dance!!  lol

#4

Thankful hubby found a new treat

this morning.  He went to get a caramel

frappe and found out McDonalds has

a new strawberry and cream cheese pie

(the size of their apple pies) so he got us

each one, and they were yummy.

Reminded me of the old Toaster strudel's

I used to get when my kids were younger.

All the pics with pink were of the dining area,

all the rest with the orange and yellow are 

of the living room

#5

Thankful our Easter dinner and table

 is all planned now, and part of the food

 shopping done.  Just will need those 

last minute things.

#6

Thankful for new B-complex Vitamins

I got.  They are liquid and Bio available,

and definitely think they are working

better than the tablet ones I was using.

Feeling more energetic, feel like I am 

losing less hair and I can see a change

in my nails. 

#7

Thankful that we have been seeing our

lil brown bunny every day for a week

 or so, but soon he or she will probably

disappear again for months. We are

always delighted when it returns tho.

#8

Thankful for a visit from 2 Sandhill

cranes this morning, having breakfast

in our yard.  lol  

#9

Thankful for the lovely Palm Sunday

musical presentation by the youth choir

 this morning, and the sermon was done

by our retired Pastor today.  Great

to see him and his wife. 

#10

Thankful for the lovely Memorial Service

 we attended this afternoon for the sweetest spirited lady. Her passing was very 

surprising to everyone.  We had just seen

 her on Sunday March 16th,and were 

at our daughters and saw on facebook

 that following Wed. that she had passed 

away on Monday St. Patricks Day.

It was really a sweet service, and is

always a reminder of the hope of heaven

that those who know Jesus have.

#11

Thankful that I was feeling inspired

and made 5 new Easter cards.  

#12

Thankful that we had 3 large trees

removed today.  Just called yesterday

so didn't expect it so soon, but that

was great.  Needed to have them

removed, cause hopefully soon we

are gonna be able to do a new 

drive way, which is very needed.

So happy we are finally progressing.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, that's all for this at Cozy Place

Thanks for spending some time with

us today.

Have a lovely lovely Easter

 Weekend Celebration.

Love, Hugs and

End Of April Blessings,
