Scripture Sunday

 

Happy Sunday Sweet Friends,

Here are the scriptures for today. 

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation,  by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God, and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus

Philippians 4:6-7  NIV 

 I know I have shared these a number of times,

 but it is truly my life verse, as I used to be such a worrier, not that I never worry, cause it does

 still happen to me, but I worry way way less

 than I used to and the verses below are 

God's prescription

 to get out of worry. We just have to make up

 our mind to do what it says. 

When I first started doing this....

I had to learn that verse, cause I had to say it

 many times a day, but as time went on,

 I learned to start praying and thanking

 God quicker and guess what?? 

 I started  experiencing God's peace and rest

 more

 and more, which just help spur me on! 

 I share this because I know so many are 

having such fear and worry these days, 

and I feel so badly for them, because

I know only to well, how much anxiety 

and fear can 

rob us of sleep and just make

 life miserable.  So know I share this not

 to preach at you, but out of love and hope

 that it will maybe help someone.

1. Know this.....that God does not want you to be

anxious and he has given you a recipe to help you.

2. Whatever your situation, take it to God in prayer

and petition and Thank Him in the process for 

whatever you can think of.....and better yet if you

can thank Him for the situation, all the better.

3. Believe that God cares about You and Your

situation, cause I promise you He does care!

4. If you hear things run thru your head like

what if this happens, or what if that happens,

or what are you gonna do?  Realize that is

the voice of your enemy, Satan, and He wants

you to worry. So if you hear those questions

know it is not coming from God, because He

has already told us not to be anxious. When

the enemies voice starts talking to me, I have

learned to cry out for Jesus to help me, cause
I know the thief or the enemy, only comes

 to steal, kill and destroy: but I (Jesus) have

 come that they may have life, and have it

 to the full. (meaning a good life full of His

Peace and Joy and even more.....You can

 find that verse in the Bible, John 10:10

Think this must be for someone today,

as I felt so impressed to write it. 

Anyway......

 Hope this is helpful to someone today.

If you should need more clarity or

it did help you please let me know.

So I can pray for your success.

You can leave a comment here, but

if you would rather it be more private

you can email me too.

Have a Peaceful and Restful Day,

Hugs, Nellie

Thankful Thursday February 3, 2022, A Valentine's Day tablescape

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God

 a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.

Hebrews 13:15 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you warm, well and enjoying your day. 

That's us so far.  It is suppose to be 84 here today,

but tomorrow we dip back into the 60's for awhile.

If you are in the area where the Blizzard is,

know we are praying for yall and hoping you

are doing well and staying warm and hopefully

able to enjoy all that white stuff........

Pictures today are from a Valentine's Day table

 or possibly  a Birthday table from the past. 

 But it does looks like it could be a Valentine's table

 at least!!   lol 

I used a mixture of paper goods and normal dinnerware,

  I like to do that every so often, as it can give you a theme

and it makes clean up easier too, and also lets others know

you can still have a pretty table even if you don't have

dinnerware or don't like yours..........

  

So on with my Thankfuls...........

#1

Thankful that we got to watch lil darling on Friday,

after all,  as she was fine as could be by Friday and 

has stayed that way all weekend,  think it might have

just been sinus or allergy related.

Praise the Lord!  

#2

Thankful, so thankful to see her, as we have

missed her terribly.  When you have seen your

grandchild at least once or twice a week for

her whole life,  it is shocking to be without

her for very long.  She will be having her

9th birthday in early March.  We had a 

great day even tho we had to do school work, 

 just great to be together.

Also, thankful her Daddy picked up Tijuana 

Flats and stayed for dinner and we played cards

 for awhile.  We hadn't seen him either, so just 

added to the fun day.

#3

Thankful that we were able to go back to church

today,  it was a beautiful clear blue sky day

but pretty cold,  but I loved it.......perfect day

as far as I am concerned......

#4

Thankful for lunch after at Olive Garden with

my honey......Our friends didn't brave the weather

today, as her Father is cold, when it's hot weather,

so can only imagine what it would be like for him

in this weather.

#5

Thankful for Olive Garden leftovers that we can

have for dinner tomorrow night.........

#6

Thankful for 6 new cards, I have made since 

I finally finished redecorating our house.

#7

Thankful for a proud Mom moment

over seeing what a great job our Daughter

did on a clients Beach House.  This

was her first really big job, and she did

an amazing job on it.

See Post and Tour Here

#8

Thankful for all the energy I have had

this week, I think I have more than I

did before we got sick.  Praise the Lord.

#9

Thankful that I have lost 5-6 pds and

am working to keep it off,  can't believe how

much better I feel just with that 5-6

pounds gone.  Love it!

#10

Thankful for a new series we found on 

" Up Faith and Family".

  It is called the Cowboy way.  We

have just watched one episode but we love it.

Great to see a series where people have some

of the same values.

#11

Thankful we got to pick up lil darling from school

yesterday and spend a few hours with her, Helped

her make a pretty box to stuff her Valentines in at

school next week when they celebrate.

#12

Thankful for a fun conversation with a lady

we ran in to at a Flooring and tile place.

It started by her asking us our opinion on the 

tile and stuff she was wanting to put in her 

bathroom she was redoing.  It was beautiful,

 by the way. Love to run into nice people,

such an encouragement,  that there are still

so many great folks out there.

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

Thanks for visiting

and

Have a lovely Weekend.

and

Keep your light shining brightly!

Love, Hugs and 

Early February Blessings,

Nellie

A Fun Post - A Beach House Renovation

 

This was the only before picture I have.

Hello Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you doing well today.

We are fine over here!!  Had something 

I thought would be a fun post for yall.

Know how you all love decorating and seeing

the inside of homes,  so thought I would share 

a virtual tour of the Beach House our Daughter

recently finished.  The owners had planned to rent it, 

 but because they got a new job way out West,

they have decided to sell it now.  So it is on the 

market at Folly Beach,  SC

This is sort of a proud Mama moment too.

This is one of her largest jobs as of yet, and 

 I think she did an amazing job, and I would

have thought she was a seasoned decorator for years.

She had the outside painted, porches and all.

Had the oak kitchen cabinets painted, white

on the top, green on the bottom.  Her clients

 wanted to keep the counter tops, so she picked 

the perfect hardware, to tie it all together, and

 also added a tile backsplash and wall with shelves. 

 She had them put up white shiplap in the dining

 room,  and had a beautiful table built by a local

Artisan, as well.  She picked everything you see 

in the house and on the porches. She and her 

hubby also put some furniture together as well,

to help stay on budget. The owner picked the

name "Blue Goose", which was a memorable

name to them, so she had a sign made with the name

and even painted a Blue Goose for the porch.

 She also had the outside of the home and porches 

painted as well.  She also loves to make her

clients happy, so she doesn't go rogue and do

something she already knows they won't like

just because she wants to.....Her aim is to

please her clients.

Hope you enjoy the tour...........

They have a virtual tour and a slide show,

give it a minute to come up.......

Thankful Thursday January 27, 2022, Winter/Valentines decorating from the past

Praise our God, all peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard;

Psalm 66:8 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you feeling and doing well.

I can honestly say that is us, in the last few days

Praise the Lord!!

I have just been getting the house back together,

  and looking forward to seeing lil darling

 today.......but my Son called a few hours ago and

 said, he was on the way to get her from school

 early cause she isn't feeling well and has a

 headache.  Which is how I started with this stuff, 

 so hoping and praying she doesn't have what we

 had. If she does, when are thankful to be able to

say she didn't get it from us. 

 So to say we are disappointed would be an

 understatement, cause we haven't been able

 to see her for over 3 weeks mostly cause we

 were sick. We were suppose to have her

 tomorrow so guess we will see what

 tomorrow brings.

Pictures are from Cozy Place Winter Decor

 from the past.

So on with my Thankfuls......

#1

Thankful for another Sweet Friend, this time

 from church who called and asked if we needed

 some meals. Altho we didn't need to take her

 up on it....it was still lovely and encouraging

 to us that she asked and called out of concern.

#2

Thankful my cut is healing quite well.

Note:  Just about healed completely.

#3

Thankful that today I felt pretty much like my

old self, and didn't wear out quite as much, so

hopefully coming to the end of this stuff.

#4

Thankful to have a lil creativity today,  and got

 a lil done on putting the house back together,  and

 started a few Valentines cards.  So yippee for that!

#5

Thankful that a number of people we have been

praying for that were sick, are now doing fine.

Always encouraging to hear.

#6

Thankful we have survived a cold, flu or covid

 or  whatever it was, with Prayers, vitamins,

 hydration, rest and sleep, eating well and our

 oximeter, and staying home.  We had a few bad

 days, while we were running a fever,  but after

 that it was just being tired and coughing.  So we

 weren't feeling great but we weren't feeling

 horrible either, but very Thankful to be feeling

 good again, as it seems like an eternity since 

we have been feeling somewhat normal.

#7

Thankful to wake up to 36 degrees and frosted

roofs and lawns.  Winter has officially arrived

in my mind, anyway, as we rarely go into the

low 30's, here in Florida, think we were maybe

 33-34 during the night.  It is a bright clear 

blue sky day too........gorgeous out!

Note:  Sat. night we are going to 27 degrees,

it has been many many years since that has

happened here.

#8

Thankful to get out of the House.  We took

a ride to a nearby beach town my daughter

had told us about,  just to look at the houses

 and just see a different change of scenery. 

 It was lovely....then we went to our fav Mexican

 restaurant and to TJ Maxx, then came home

to watch a movie called "Candy Coated

Christmas".  We wanted to watch it cause 

Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond was an extra

in the movie.  It was cute, and she did a great

job,  her name was BEE, and she was truly

just herself.  Love that!  What you see is what

you get......

#9

Thankful that I am finally getting our house

 back to normal, still have a bit more to go, 

but just about there. Finished the living

room today, it is decorated for Valentines

day, and just have a few things to finish

in the dining room and I will be done!

Halleleujah!!

#10

Thankful for a quote I heard that I think

 is so funny, but I also think is true.

 Laurie Crouch said it is what her hubby, 

Matt says about her magnifying mirror....

"He calls it the accuser of the brethren".

Think about it....isn't that so true,  we 

look in it and think oh my heavens, and

forget that is not what we really look

like or what others see. A big lie....Exactly

 what the accuser of the brethren

 (the enemy) tell us, so many times about

 ourselves or situations. 

Great description!

#11

Thankful for a sweet and gregarious 

young man, probably in his mid twenties,

I would say,  who started a conversation

with us when we were in line at Wally

World. He was just such a wonderful

breathe of fresh air.  We loved it!

A very nice human being.........

#12

Thankful to run a few errands we needed

to do, and for dinner out at Longhorn

Steak house.  Mostly dinner was great but

for some reason some things are just tasting

very salty to me at times, but fortunately

didn't ruin my dinner tho.

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

Well, that's it for Cozy Place this

week.  This is the Winter Decorating

Edition.   lol   I will probably show

you some pics next week.

Thanks for dropping in.....

and

Have a lovely rest of the week.

Love, Hugs and last of 

January Blessings,

Nellie
