Scripture Sunday





Good Sunday Afternoon
Sweet Friends,


Here is the verse for today.
One that has been on my heart
all week.......after attending 2
Memorial services.



The righteous perish, and no one takes

 it to heart; the devout are taken away,

and no one understands that the

 righteous are taken away to be

 spared 
from evil. 

Isaiah 57:1 NIV


Have a Blessed Day

Thankful Thursday November 7, 2019, and a Fall Table from the past #7


 “You are worthy, our Lord and God, 
to receive glory and honor and power,
 for you created all things,
 and by your will they were created 
and have their being
Rev. 4:11 NIV 



Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you doing well.
Been a good and special week
here.  We celebrated our 49th
Anniversary on Thursday, and
will be celebrating our sons,
belated birthday on Sunday.
November is always a busy
yet fun month of celebrations
for our family. Our daughter-in-
loves birthday will be coming
up later in the month as well
and of course, Thanksgiving
before that.  



Pictures today are from a Fall/
Thanksgiving table from
 the past......if you missed #6
and would like to see it, just
click here.


Now on with my Thankful post....









#1
Thankful for the beautiful
Memorial Service we attended
on Sat. for a wonderful lady,
Wife, Mom, and Grandmother.
It was sad... but so beautiful.
All of her children spoke and
what an awesome job they did.
Also, her son is a music minister
up in Georgia, and he and some
friends who came with him from 
his church did a phenomenal job
 on the music as well. They all
adored their Mom so it very hard
for them but it was all so honoring
 to her and just truly amazing that
 they were able to get through it.
 Divine intervention, for sure.


#2
So Thankful for the life of
this Wonderful Woman, even
though, she was not a real close
 friend, she has been a part of our
 life as church family and as a
parent of friends, of my son, and
her kids also used to attend our
youth bible studies years back,
so we came in contact with each
other quite a bit in those days. 
She was a sweet, kind, loving and 
joyful person, and had a great
 sense of humor and I loved her
 laugh.  She also had a really
amazing relationship with her
 Mother, who was also a Wonder-
ful lady. They both left behind
 such a legacy of love and good-
ness, that really glorifies Jesus.
So happy she is no longer suffer-
ing with cancer and so happy
we will see her again one day.



#3
Thankful for the opportunity
to see so many folks that used
to attend our church years ago
at the service.  It was like a
family reunion. Just too bad it 
was under these circumstances.












#4
Thankful for the fun of watching 
the leaves fall off our tree in the
 backyard, some fall slowly drifting
to the ground, others twirling....
love it.  A touch of Fall finally.


#5
Thankful that we finally got our
porch all back together this week.
We have had stuff stored in our
guest bedroom since Hurricane
Dorian. Every time we thought
about putting it back there was
another possible storm, so we
just decided to wait until they
stopped.....it's been awhile now
since there has been any potential
storms so we felt it safe finally.




#6
Thankful for some cool mornings 
so that we have been able to sit
out and enjoy our porch, and
hoping for some more real soon.







 \









#7
Thankful for the blessing of being
the parents of our sweet son, Scott.
He celebrated his 42 birthday this
week. Looking forward to cele-
brating with him this weekend.
We actually brought him home
from the hospital on our 7th
Anniversary.......what a great
Anniversary gift...right??



#8
Thankful that He and Megan 
and lil darling had a great time
visiting and celebrating with his 
Sister Dee and her hubby Jerry
 last weekend.



#9
Thankful for my Sweet Hubby
and Best Friend, as we celebrate
our 49th Wedding Anniversary
 today (Thursday).  














#10
Thankful to hear from one of
our best and long time friends
this week.  Always a joy to
talk to her whether in person
or by phone.....Thanks for 
calling Vicki....



#11
Thankful for a lovely
Anniversary.  Had a nice day,
doing some reminiscing about
our life together and having
 breakfast sandwichs and donuts 
from Duncan donuts.... a fun treat,
Got to see lil darling later in the
 afternoon for a few hours, then 
we went out to dinner at "Bone
Fish Grill". It was our first time
to go there...so nice to do some-
thing different, the service was
good, the restaurant was pretty,
but noisy and the food was okay,
so we weren't overly impressed
but it was nice to do something
different.  There bang bang
shrimp appetizer and their Key
Lime Pie were the highlights.



#12
Thankful for a clean house
that I didn't have to clean.















Well, that's it for Cozy Place this week......


Thanks for dropping by.......


Have a Super Duper Weekend.


Love, Hugs and 
Early November Blessings,

Nellie

Scripture Sunday




Happy Sunday Morning,


Here is the scripture for today.
This one just came to mind
this week............


When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices; 
when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.

Proverbs 11:10 NIV



Have a Good Sunday,

Hugs,

Thankful Thursday - October 31, 2019, Fall tables from the past #6


Immediately he received his sight and
 followed Jesus, praising God. When all 
the people saw it, they also praised God.
Psalm 18:43



Greetings Sweet Friends,

Boo!!  Bet I scared You!!  lol

Hope you are having a nice day,
and maybe you are like me hoping
for some cute trick or treaters
tonight.  We rarely have trick or
 treaters anymore, which is sad
to me.....I love seeing all those
lil cuties come, course, have
to say over the years the cos-
tumes are not quite as cute as
they used to be....

Pictures today are of another Fall
table, think this one might have been
for just a Fall Sunday dinner.  It was
done with some paper goods mixed
with regular silverware and glasses.
Like to show those tables once in
awhile, cause it shows you don't
have to have fancy dishware just
to set a pretty table.


Well,  on with my Thankfuls.....



#1
Thankful for getting to see lil
darling 3 times this week,  and
having a sleepover one of the
times.  Always a fun time to
be with her.


#2
Thankful for finding a new 
throw for my sofa that I have
been in search of - for just $5.
and a beautiful plaid Christmas
  tablecloth for $10, that we found
 at a new discount place we have
here in town called "Ollies".  
It was our first time to check it 
out.  All the throws I have been
 seeing online or elsewhere were
 $30 and up. So this was a great 
find and the tablecloth a fun
find as well.





#3
Thankful for seeing some nice
flats at Kohls, and I wasn't even
looking,  just popped up online
but, they were perfect for what
I needed, and half price online.


#4
Thankful for Kale salad, it
comes in a bag  and we get it
at Sams club.  I just rinse it
 good with hot water, then cold
water and drain it then add the
Poppy seed dressing along with
 the sunflower seeds and cran-
berries that all come in the bag.
Delish and so easy.





#5
Thankful for having some very
creative card making days this 
week.


#6
Thankful for a few new things
I learned on my card making
software this week.






#7
Thankful that it looks like my
nephew and his family should
be moving in their house here
in the next week or so.  It's
about time,  they contracted
to have it done in January of
this year.  So they are beyond
ready I am sure.  Just heard
they have to be out of where
they are renting next Friday,
and they are not sure their
house is gonna be ready.
If you feel so led,  please
pray they can move in on
time..........





#8
Thankful once again for this new 
 show we are watching on TBN 
called "Better together". It is
just such an amazing talk show.


#9
So thankful for the subject on
Better Together this week - they 
were talking about grief, and
 several ladies shared their grief
stories, and they were very sad
but they were also talking about
how to walk thru grief and how
the Lord helped them,  it was
really so inciteful and helpful, 
 as we have had a lot of people
 around us lately who have had
 devastating losses. Such incredible 
information from people who have
walked thru deep grief and 
devastating losses. 
 So touched my heart.............
So thankful for these dear ladies
and there willingness to share
their stories in order to help others.






#10 Thankful for 2 new books we are
reading,  that are very good
read so far, and are definitely
resonating with me.


#11 Thankful that I decide to wipe
down my counter  tops with 
lysol wipes and they look great,
put a nice subtle shine on them.





#12 Thankful that all our kids and lil
darling, are together for a long 
weekend, and probably having 
a blast as always. Love that they
 enjoy each other so much.



Well, that's it for Cozy Place.


Thanks for stopping by


Have a lovely weekend

and

 Happy Halloween!!






Love, Hugs and
 Last Day of October Blessings!!

Scripture Sunday






Afternoon Sweet Friends,


Here is the  verse of the day!



Without faith it is impossible to please 
God, because anyone who comes to him,
 must believe that he exists and he rewards
 those who earnestly seek him.

Hebrews 11:6


Have a Lovely Sunday!

Thankful Thursday October 24, 2019, Fall Table from the past #5


 I will proclaim the name of the LORD.
 Oh, praise the greatness of our God!
Deuteronomy 32:3



Greetings Sweet Friends,

So how are ya??  Doing well I hope.

Been a good week here.  Todays
our day to get lil darling so looking
forward to seeing her, of course.
Her Mom text me her school pic
this morning....and be still my
heart....so beautiful and sweet!

Well, have a good day!

Pictures today are from another
Fall table past. Think this might
have been for my daughter-in-
loves birthday.





So on with my Thankfuls......


#1
Thankful for a fun night out
with our friends, going to see
Downton Abbey and then
 having breakfast at Perkins 
afterwards. It made for a late
night, but loved it. 


#2
Thankful for a great time at my 
Son, Daughter- in-love and lil 
darlings house, and for a yummy
spaghetti dinner and a great
time just being together.





#3
Thankful for some encouraging
feedback from a friend of my
daughters on one of my cards
she sent her.


#4
Thankful for a lot of printables
I got done for our shop.










#5
Thankful that the tropical storm
that hit Florida over the weekend
caused no damage to life or
property,  and didn't cause our
daughter and hubby any problems
since it went thru by them too
and they were at the beach 
house this passed weekend.


#6
Thankful that we got to watch
2 twin girls, that belong to the
single Mom I have mentioned
a number of times, get baptized
on Sunday, and it was there
 Mom who led them to the Lord.
Such a precious thing.






#7
Thankful to see our Pastors wife,
that moved away weeks back at 
church on Sunday.  Her hubby
 will be here in a few days as they
came for him to officiate at the
Wedding of one of their passed
students. Hoping they will still
be here on Sunday, so we can
see him too.





#8
Thankful for the life and legacy of
a dear sweet lady from our church,
named Adrienne, and that she is no 
longer suffering with cancer,  as she
 went home to be with Jesus this 
passed Monday. Good News for her,
 but not so good for her husband,
3 adult children and grandchildren
and friends who loved her.  If you
feel so led please pray with me
 for them.


#9
So Thankful for my and her faith 
in Jesus, for it is when we lose 
people that we really understand in
 a much deeper way what we have
 in Jesus,where death is concerned.
 For it is just saying good bye
 temporarily....not permanently.
  As we will see them again once
 we get to heaven. 
 Thank You Jesus!!







#10

Thankful that I tried a new crock
pot recipe that Marty over at "A
Stroll thru life" put on her blog.
It was for making a small 
Thanksgiving dinner. Stuffing and 
chicken or Turkey Breasts
 My stuffing tasted just like when
 I make it in the oven, just maybe 
lil more moist, but wasn't crazy
about the chicken breasts.... but
 think it was my fault... because
 I didn't use the really big chicken
 breasts like she did, anyway, I 
would definitely recommend it
and make it again, but do find
 large chicken breasts.
It was very easy to make as well
and I love easy recipes. How
about you??

Click here to get her recipe.





#11
Thankful hubby was able to fix 
our friends computer for them.


#12
Thankful for a really neat and
meaningful conversation with 
my hubby yesterday.







Well, that's it for Cozy Place this week.


Thanks for dropping by and hope you 
have a lovely Friday and Weekend.






Keep your light shining brightly.


Love, Hugs and
Special Fall Blessings,

Nellie
