Thankful Thursday January 12, 2023, and Winter Flowers

“I called to the LORD, who is worthy of praise,

and have been saved from my enemies.

2 Samuel 22:4 NIV

Winter Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope you are enjoying the New Year, and transitioning

from Christmas to Winter Decorating. It is still Christmas

at our house, but now that I am feeling better I am itching

to get at it. I have already been rearranging the house

in my mind, so once I get started I will kinda know

what I want to do pretty much.

Pictures today are of Winter Flowers, compliments of Unsplash.com. Was gonna post our guest bedroom revamp but thought it really needed to be a regular post.

So it will be coming soon..................

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

Thankful for all the neat stuff we learned from doing that

Revelation Bible Study (It was an overview of Revelation)

Really good information and helped us understand so many

things we had never even thought about. Highly Recommend

it to anyone who is interested. They have all sorts of other

series as well, and this guy is a great teacher.

Just FYI in case you are interested in checking it out.

For the Revelation overview Click Here.

Click here or type in VersebyVerseministry.org.

to see all they offer.

Thankful that I feel that Lord has lead me to start journaling

again. I used to do that all the time, but got out of the habit

of it. There is just something about writing things down (for

me anyway) that just seems to help clear my mind and

organize me, and bring things to the surface that might be

bothering me, so that I can cast my cares on the Lord,

which brings even more peace to me.

Thankful for naps right now. Still trying to kick this

respiratory virus, and they definitely help. Feeling

so much better but still tire out later in the day.

Thankful for my sweet daughter and a sweet long

time friend who keeps checking on me daily to see

how I am doing.

Thankful for Sunshine. We have had milder temps

here in Florida the last few days, so trying to

soak up all the Vit D I can.......by sitting out in

the sunshine.

So Thankful that somehow my hubby has not

gotten sick with this stuff, and praying that continues.

Thankful for a precious experience at 6 a.m.

Sunday morning. I woke up, slept out.

It was dark but a fully moonlit night and I looked out

the window into our back yard, and not a

creature was stirring, nor a breeze in the trees,

and it was so still, so quiet and so peaceful

that all just seemed right with the world,

in those moments!

Thankful to be feeling almost like my old self,

still some coughing but nothing like before.

Praise the Lord!!

So Very Thankful this Monday morning to be feeling

more like my old self after being sick for 2 weeks

or more. Nothing like being sick to make you

thankful to be able to get up and do stuff again.

Have to say, I am doing it slowly tho, as I am

not in any way wanting to have a relapse.

Thankful for how the story of Damar Hamlin has turned out and how it has caused people to turn to God in prayer, and how we have seen God answer. Damar went home from the hospital today (Wednesday) and he evidently has a calling from God to give back to his community which he had before he ever collapsed on the football field. Awesome. PTL

#11

Thankful for a good evening out for the first time in 3 weeks. Hubby and I Decided to go to dinner at Carrabbas and then a quick run to Wally World to get a few things. Made it a short evening....didn't want to over due it, but it was definitely good to get out of the house.

#12

Well, that's it for Cozy Place today.

Thanks for coming by, and leave us a comment

Another look back to 2022 - Most viewed posts from July through December

Happy Tuesday Sweet Friends,

So how in the world are you???

I am very happy to report I think I am very close

to being officially back to normal health wise.

Still a lil coughing..... but not even close to how

bad, as it has been........

So Praising the Lord over here!!

Well, here are links below to last year

Scripture Sunday

Happy Sunday Sweet Friends,

Isn't it great to know that we are way more valuable

to our heavenly Father than the birds, yet He even

takes care of them too. That's cause He is a good,

good Father.............

Have a lovely Winter Sunday,

Hugs, Nellie

Thankful Thursday January 5, 2023, Our Christmas tables 2022

So they sang praises with gladness and

bowed down and worshiped.

2 Chronicles 29:30 NIV

New Year Greetings,

Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you all well and happy,

and going about life.....

I am happy, but not so well.....still fighting

whatever this is.......but think I might be

coming down to the finish line here soon,

so I can be going about life again,

at least that is my hope and prayer.

Pictures today are from our Christmas

Brunch and Dinner table. It was a same

centerpiece and table switch r' roo.

The ones with the Merry Christmas plates

Were for brunch and we used paper goods,

and the dinner table we used normal plates

with red chargers.

As you go on you will see some of these pics

were pre-planning shots, cause I was so

tired never thought to take one of the

actual dinner table. lol

Know these are late Christmas shots,

but nothing else to post. lol

It is still Christmas in our house. lol

So on with my Thankfuls......

Thankful for some videos we have been watching on the book of Revelation (In the Bible). Have already learned a few things and have only watched 6 videos and they are only like 15 mins., a few a lil longer.

Interested: Go to https://versebyverseministry.org/search?q=Revelation

Thankful we moved our futon to the porch until we can get rid of it, but now we think we might just keep it there as we have been sitting out there since the weather has been so nice.

Guess we will see??

Thankful that our kids and lil darling got to see each other and have a great time again on Thursday in Savannah, and they all got back home safely again, as the traffic was still pretty heavy.

Thankful for a full week of rest. Still not over whatever this is, but am looking forward to and doing everything I can think of to help me toward wellness, and know it will come sooner or later!! lol

Update: Been 11 days now.

Thankful for being able to walk on the treadmill some, as think it helps with my breathing and also that I kept a plastic breathing gadget that they gave my husband back when he had surgery almost 20 yrs. ago. Have been using that as well, as my oximeter. I tend to be a shallow breather for some reason, so all these things are helpful. About to try Mucinex as a last ditch effort to get rid of this stuff. lol

Thankful for a number of long phone conversations with my lovely daughter. We miss each other so much, so that always cheers us up!

Thankful we got new cards put in our shop today. All the Christmas cards automatically disappeared, which is a nice feature, but needed to be replenished.

Thankful for a long conversation with a long

time dear friend on Tuesday, and a sweet

text from my neighbor on Wednesday.

Thankful for some much needed encourage-

ment for myself and my Daughter Wednesday.

It is so neat how the Lord can rally friends

to contact you, with some good news, or

prayers or information that you don't

expect, and it just changes the outlook

of everything. Praise the Lord!!

Thankful for a very easy but delicious

Broccoli soup recipe I found and made

today (Wed.) It was so easy yet so good!

and felt great on my throat as well.

#11

Thankful that one of our students we have

known for years, when we used to be involved

in youth ministry contacted us, he is grown

and married with 3 children now, and he and

his family are going through some

really tough things. We are so happy and

feel so honored that he contacted us so we

could be able to pray and support

them. They are just such a lovely family.

#12

Thankful that my Daughter and Son-in-love

just got their first booking on their new

investment, A Lake House. So they are

beyond happy about that, and we are

happy for them, as well.

Here we all are a few nights before Christmas when we still remembered to take some pictures. lol

Left to right, Our Son-in-love, Jerry, Our Son, Scott, Our Daughter, DeeAnna, Our lil darling, Brooklyn, My hubby, Jim and you guessed it, lil o' me!!

Well, that's it for Cozy Place

this week. This is the Christmas/New Year

Edition, I guess!! lol

Thanks as always for coming by

for a visit.

Hope you have a great New Year

Love, Hugs, and

New Year 2023 Blessings,

Nellie
