Sweet Friends,

Here is the verses for today!

 let all who take refuge in you be glad;

let them ever sing for joy.

Spread your protection over them,

that those who love your name 

may rejoice in you.

your favor as with a shield.

Thankful Thursday, June 4, 2020, Springs Past #6

Let everything that has breath

praise the Lord. 

Psalm 150:6 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,
and
Welcome to June......

It has been quite a start to June
for sure.....Hope this finds you
and yours doing okay. Have to 
say it has been a bit harder doing
 this post than normal, with all that
has gone on, but even in the bad
 times there is always something to
 be thankful for......we just have
 to look a lil harder sometimes.

We are doing well still, but I was
sick over the weekend. We were
so looking forward to going to our
Son and Daughter-in-loves last Sat.

 and then I woke up feeling awful so,
 we were both bummed, as we were
looking forward to getting out of the 
house and of course, seeing them as
 well.  Finally got to feeling better
by Monday afternoon. Thankfully,
there was no fever, and I think it 
was from something I ate.
Lord willing we will be going
this weekend.

Pictures today are more pictures
of Springs past......So on with
my Thankfuls.....

#1

Thankful for more work we got

done in the backyard on Friday.

I love love love seeing the pro-

gress everytime we work out there.

#2
Thankful for a fun night playing
yahtzee and Rummy with hubby
and my Sister-in-law Susan.

#3
Thankful for the rest I got on
Saturday, and Sunday, as I was
 feeling exhausted too.


#4
Thankful to be feeling better
today.  (Monday)

#5
Thankful for a surprise and fun
 visit from a long time friend.
Thanks Sharon.


#6
Thankful we got to have lil
darling with us all day on
Wednesday. Such a bright
spot in our day.

#7
Thankful that we ordered
groceries items from Aldi
 just to check it out since my
 daughter has been ordering
 from there and likes it.
They had some brands we
have never heard of, but
figured it would be worth
checking out as their prices
are better from what I heard.


#8
Thankful that they had TP.
which I have not seen any
where hardly and what I did
see was ridiculously priced.
Aldi's was quite reasonable, 
so was glad to get it as I am
starting my hurricane prep-
arations now especially since
we have already had 2 Trop-
ical storms already in May,
and another one out in the 
gulf right now.

#9
Thankful that the city where
my Son and Daughter-in-love
live had small and peaceful 
protests, as we were concerned
 about that with all that is
going on these days.


#10
Thankful that things are better
in Charleston as well, as we
were concerned about my 
Daughter and Son-in-love 
as well.  Cause the protests
there were not peaceful but
destructive.
Just talked with my daughter
(Friday) and they are protesting
in Charleston again, very near
to where they live, so praying
 it stays peaceful.

#11
Thankful for our Policemen
and Women and our National
Guardsman who can assist
during these protests.


#12
Thankful that none of the 
things that are going on in our
country have taken our Lord by
surprise, and that He knows all
 that is happening and has a pur-
pose and plan for it.  Hard for
us to understand sometimes, but
He never said we had to under-
stand but just to trust Him.

Well, that's it for Cozy Place
today.


Hope you have a Peaceful
Weekend.


Love, Hugs and
First of June Blessings,

Nellie

Scripture Sunday

Good Sunday Afternoon
Sweet Friends,

Here is the scripture for today.

God is our refuge and strength, 

an ever-present help in trouble. 

Therefore we will not fear,

 though the earth give way and 

the mountains fall into the heart
 of the sea, though its waters roar
 and foam and the mountains
 quake with their surging.

Psalm 46:1-3 NIV

During these crazy times in which

we are living, we need to fervently

cling to the only one who can truly

protect or help any of us!!

Have a blessed Day!

Hugs, Nellie

P.S.  Sorry it's a bit wonky
today,  but tried numerous
times to fix it,  but to no
avail............

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;

 let your glory be over all the earth.
Psalm 57:11


   Greetings Sweet Friends,


Hope you all have a nice Memorial 
Day weekend.  Our's was quiet, but
 good. Been a good week here, not a
 lot going on really. Didn't get to see
 lil darling this week but will get to
 see here this weekend, as well as
her parents.  


Pictures today are from another
Spring's past. Gotta find some
time to edit and take more 
photos.  lol

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

#1

Thankful that hear our friends are 

going to be able to visit their son in 

Calif. next month.  They rarely get

 to see him or their granddaughters,

so very happy for them.

#2

Thankful for my cold pack that

helps when I have inflammation

in my neck or anywhere for that
 matter, a lil life saver!!

#3

Thankful the Lord helped me find
 my camera.  I thought I had possibly
 left it at my daughters house because I
couldn't find it, so she checked around
and couldn't find it there either. So as
I often do when I can't find things I
ask the Lord where they are? and he
never fails to show me,  sometimes
it might take a lil while or a day or
so, this time it was less than 24 hrs.
Very happy about finding it!!
It had the pics on it your are seeing
in this post.  lol



#4
Thankful that my son-in-love hope-
fully will get the day off on Memorial 
Day, as the fellow he has been filling
in for all month, said he would work
since he has been off all month, as he 
will be starting back June 1st anyway.
He could use the break for sure, course
things should be back to normal in June.

Note:  That changed unfortunately but
he did wind up getting off early so 
they had most of the day together
at least.

 

#5
Thankful my daughter is feeling
good about her new job. While her
old job was on shut down do to the
covid situation, a new job sort of
dropped in her lap, altho she was not
looking for a new job, she was quite
happy where she was, but since she
didn't know when or if she would get
 her old job back, and this job had a 
number of things that were better
for her as well, so it seemed like
it was heaven sent.


#6
Thankful for rain....we have been
in need of it here for awhile. So
have had about 3 days of rain,
which is great. Our yard and
plants look quite happy and 
very green...............

Excellent Book,  by the way!


#7
Thankful to be an American and to be
 able to live in the best country there is....
No matter how many problems we have
there is still no better place to live, as
far as I am concerned.


#8
Thankful for all the Men and Women
who have fought and died for the free-
doms I enjoy and can so easily take
for granted. That's why it is good to
have Holidays like Memorial Day,
to remind us!

Land of the Free
Home of the Brave

#9
Thankful for our big outing this week,
wait for it......to Public grocery store
and the dollar tree.............lol
At least it got us out of the house!!
It was a lil better...guess I am getting
more used to seeing and being in
a mask. Also it was cooler which
helped too....cause of the rain!


#10
Thankful for a quiet Memorial
Day....we were gonna have the
family over but it wasn't good
for them and it turned out we
were really tired anyway, so 
didn't feel like cooking and 
all that anyway,  so we got
subs and chips and dessert
and we were happy campers.

#11
Thankful for being able to work
 in the yard for about 3 hrs. today, 
Wednesday. Started on our back-
yard today, so happy about that.


#12
Thankful to hear from my cousin
 who lives in Virginia. Always nice
to hear from him.  

Well, that's it for Cozy Place this week.
This is the Coming out of quarantine
from Covid 19 - Phase 2, Edition.


Thanks for your visit, and have a 
lovely lovely weekend.  Think ours
is going to include some rain.....
Not Complaining, Just saying cause 
we have actually need the rain, and
 it does cool things off a bit.

Love, Hugs and End of May
Blessings,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday May 21, 2020, Springs Past #4

But I trust in your unfailing love;

 my heart rejoices in your salvation. 

 I will sing the LORD’s praise,

 for he has been good to me.

Psalm 13:5-6 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

How are ya?  Are you venturing
out some these days?  We have
a lil bit.....but not feeling totally
confident in that yet....hard to
feel that .....when you see so
 many in masks, and aren't sure
if you should or should not be
wearing them......lol. We wear
them if we are up close to folks
especially when you are paying
at the register, or if there is a
cluster of people.  I honestly
think my hands have aged 10
years from all this handwashing
not complaining, just saying...lol
Anyone else feel like that???

Pictures today are from another
Springs past.  So on with my
Thankfuls..............

#1

I am thankful all the unpacking

is done, and that we got grocery

items in and are getting back to

normal after our trip.

#2

I am thankful for a new quote

I saw while I was away, and 

made a printable of.....

Accept what is.....

Let go of what was.....

Look for the blessings of God

that are to come.

Isn't that good advice??

Don't think the wording is

exact, but it is the gist of

what I read.

#3

I am thankful for a particularly
 sweet and thoughtful gift from
 my daughter for Mother's Day.  
Course, they all were but this
one was a framed picture of
 of my Dad and Grandparents 

restaurant, that looked just like
 it did when I was a child.  Made
 me cry when I opened it..........
and we ladies know anything
cry worthy is very Special.  lol

#4

I am thankful that I got 4 new 
cards done for our shop this
 week.

#5

Thankful all our plants survived

while we were gone because we

didn't get any rain and we were

gone 9 days. We did soak them

good before we left,  but still

amazing as it has been so hot.

#6

Thankful we were able to get
most of the mulch we needed
and to finish our flower bed in
 the front yard. Need a few more
bags and went to Walmart but
they don't have any mulch now.
So praying Lowe's or Home
Depot still has some.  lol 

#7
Thankful to get our of the house
for a lil while, just made a quick
trip to get a smoothie and go to
Wally world, Publix and pick up
take out from Texas Roadhouse.
This shopping with a mask thing
is just no fun, I have to say, but it
 was good to get out for a change
 and to get the things we needed.


#8
Thankful we got to see lil darling 
today.  It has been about 21/2 wks.
 since we've seen her, which is a
 long time for us. So we had a nice
day. Also got to see our Son for a
short time as he dropped her off,
and then got to see our daughter-
in-love when she picked her up.
So nice to see them all....

#9
Thankful that we are reading
the Psalms during this time,
as they have been very com-
forting during this time of
the covid saga.


#10
Thankful for a very precious
and encouraging email from
our daughter today.  So sweet
and thoughtful.

#11
Thankful that a friend got to
go visit her daughter again,
 who just found out a month
 ago she is expecting.  This is
 her 2nd trip up there in about
 a month. She lives 8 or so
hours away, and of course,
she is experiencing morning
sickness and tiredness typical
to the 1st trimester.



#12
Thankful that Walmart finally
had our bacon that we love.
We haven't been able to get it
for over a month as they have
been out of it, and it is a more
 heart healthy bacon that has no 
nitrites or nitrates and it tastes
so good, and is double the price
when or if you can find it any
where else.  So we totally 
enjoyed it.....

Well, that's it for Cozy Place
this week.  This is Edition
#3 of coming out of the
Covid 19 virus pandemic.


Thanks for stopping in......
and have a great weekend.
Just realized yesterday that
it is Memorial Day weekend,
it sort of sneaked up on us.
So have a Remembering and
safe Memorial Day.


Love, Hugs and
Memorial Day Blessings,

Nellie

Good Sunday Afternoon 

Sweet Friends,

Here are the verses for today!

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
    whose confidence is in him.
 They will be like a tree planted by the water
    that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
    its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
    and never fails to bear fruit.”

Jeremiah 17:7-9 NIV

Have a Blessed Day,

Hugs,

Nellie
