Scripture Sunday

 



Run to Jesus with your problems, heartbreak or 

when you are feeling overwhelmed, pour it all 

out to Him for he is listening and He cares.

In Him you will find rest for your soul.

Thankful Thursday March 2, 2023, and pictures of kittens


Let heaven and earth praise him, 

the seas and all that move in them,

Psalm 69:34



Welcome to Thankful Thursday

Sweet Friends,

Hope you have had a good week and are having

some weather you enjoy. The first half of our week

was great, the 2nd half not, eh, not what we planned

 on, I had plans to start taking down our Winter decor,

 but hubby has had a cold and not feeling well, and 

I am not feeling great either, so life is what happens

 when we are making our plans - is our motto for this

week, I guess. Hope your plans pan out!!  lol



Pictures today are of cute kitties

 compliments of Unsplash.com Hopefully 

they will put a smile on your face like

they did on mine!!  lol



Well, on with my Thankfuls.............




#1

Thankful for some encouraging and exciting news we heard on TBN CenterPoint News.  It is about a cure for lung cancer and maybe more cancers. Be sure to read about it as it might be good to know for someone you know or love.

  Here is the link 


#2

Thankful for Organic grass fed beef, it makes the best hamburgers I've ever tasted.






#3

Thankful that a 10 yr. old boy we have been praying for now for months because he has cancer.  He had a bone marrow transplant back in Dec. and finally was released from the hospital but he and his Mom are staying in the Ronald McDonald house because he has to stay near the hospital for 2 more months. He had to go to the emergency room and of course, they were scared it had something to do with his transplant but actually he was dehydrated because he has had a bad stomach problem where he has felt nauseous for months, and can hardly stand to eat or drink.  While in the hospital again they found out he had some sort of stomach infection and they treated it and he is feeling so much better already. We were so happy and thankful to hear that good news, as he and his family have just been thru the wringer.  


#4

Thankful for a fun time with the family celebrating

my sister-in-laws birthday. We had Cuban food, key lime Pie, and a game of Apples to Apples





#5

Thankful lil darling was feeling so much better than 

on Wed- Saturday, and we got to have her again

on Monday,  Did her school work and managed

to have a lil fun too.


#6

Thankful hubbies root canal turned out

fine....No pain thankfully, and he really liked 

the Dentist he had.






#7

Thankful that it looks like our friends 5 month old

 Granddaughter who had the open heart surgery a few

 weeks ago will be coming home on Friday, finally! We

 are all so happy to hear she is doing so much better. 

 They had quite a few scares in the course of it all,  but

 the Lord has answered many prayers. 

Note: Now it might be Wed. or Thursday she is doing

so well........



#8

Thankful to have finished ordering our

 Granddaughters birthday presents. I typically get her

 clothes, so picked out some nice spring/summer outfits.

She really likes getting clothes too!  Which is great!





#9

So Thankful my friends Granddaughter and Daughter 

came home from the hospital today,  they were there

almost 2 weeks, The Mom and Dad were able to

 stay right in the room with the baby in the NICU.

Dad had to come home on Sunday to take care of their 

other lil girl who is about 3 yrs. old, so my friend

 could return home to her own responsibilities, but

of course, she felt awful to have to leave, so thankful

they were only there a few more days,  they thought

it might be a lot longer. More answers to prayers

that were going up from so many.


#10

Thankful for a really long phone call with my Daughter

 today, as we haven't had a chance to talk since last

 Thursday, which is long for us!!  We so enjoy hanging

 out this way, since we can be in the same place, 





#11

Thankful for my newest guilty pleasure -

 Snicker ice cream bars.

They are so yummy!


#12

Thankful for all those provisions that we can so take

for granted: a bed to sleep in, running water, indoor

 plumbing, a roof over our head, food in the fridge and

 pantry, and a car to drive. 








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

Thanks for dropping by.......

Hope you have a delightful Friday
and 
weekend.

Love, Hugs and 
Early March Blessings,
Nellie

Thankful Thursday February 23, 2023, and a few pics from Cozy place

 

Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Then all the people said “Amen” and “Praise the LORD.”

1 Chronicles 16:36 NIV



Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope you have had a less heartbreaking

week that we have had.  We know so many

folks we love who are going through so

 many hard things, that at a certain point

 on Wednesday, I just thought Lord please,

 I can't stand to hear anymore bad news,

but God.......We took the time to pray as

we were sitting in the car waiting for lil

darling to finish her dance class, and that

made all the difference in our hearts, minds

 and spirits, and our hope was vey quickly 

restored. Thankful once again for the

gift of prayer...........it is one of the best

things we can do and one of the best

gifts we can give others and ourselves.

So if you happened to be feeling over

whelmed or heavy hearted for those you

love and care about.......Talk and pour out

you heart to the Lord on their behalf.

I promise you will be glad you did.





Pictures today are sort of a hodge podge

from around our home. The white roses

were my Valentine gift, and they are the

closest thing to Spring at our house

right now.........lol  




So on with my Thankful Post.....


#1

Thankful that my friends little 5 mo. old

Granddaughter came thru open heart surgery,

but they weren't able to do the left side of her

heart, so they didn't actually close her up thinking

 they might have to go back in, then they had

 a scare last night they might have to put her 

on life support as her Blood pressure was low, 

her heart very weak, and something else and

 we were all concerned when we went to bed Friday 

night, as to what Sat. might bring, but she had

 an amazing turnaround during the night. Her

 Blood pressure normalized, her blood work perfect,

and other things that were good. Now just  a

 breathing tube and they felt like she was so stable 

enough they could close her incision.  So we are

 all praising the Lord for His answers to prayer

 once again.

Note: This poor lil baby now has a partially

collapsed lung and a lung infection, so if you

feel so led, please pray for baby Lila and

her Sweet parents.


#2

Thankful to hear that a child that was on an amber

 alert the other night was found. Love hearing

that.....


Our simple Valentines Table


#3

Thankful for another answer to prayer for our friends

Son, he has bad back problems but all of a sudden

he was in more pain that he had ever experienced

before and could not walk.  As of now his back

pain has lessened quite a bit,  so hoping to hear

that he is up and walking soon.


#4

Thankful to have gotten my kitchen floor done,

we have laminate in there, and it just needed

a good going over, you know like a Spring cleaning

type of cleaning.  lol



#5

Thankful to have had a few nice days this week

to sit out in the sun.  Feels Wonderful....


#6

Thankful for a great day at church and

the young Pastor I told you about last week

did the preaching today.  His Father-in-love

happens to be our old Pastor from our first

25 yrs. at our church. He was in town and

came to visit, it was really great to see him.

Been a long time.



The next 3 pictures are the last of our
 Christmas to Winter decor...........



#7

Thankful for a Special Service we had at our church this passed Sunday evening. It was a Music and Scripture reading service. All the music had scripture in it, an then lots of different people read different scriptures from the bible. It was such a blessing, and we all felt just bathed in the word of God.


#8

Thankful that we met a new couple at church recently that is our age, and we went out for dessert with them on Sunday Evening.  It was a delightful time, and they are definitely kindred spirits. They have been through a lot
of very hard things in the last years but have the most
gracious and grateful spirits.  So Refreshing.






#9

Thankful that we got to talk to a young woman

who was pretty inebriated, but saw us talking

outside the restaurant and came up and spoke

to us. Clearly a divine appointment. Been

praying for her all week, and hoping she

might show up for church next week.



#10

Thankful we got to have lil darling all day on Wed. and for a sleep over. Didn't get to have as much fun as we wanted to tho, cause she had school work to do, and dance class to go to, which were all unexpected, and then she was coming down with a cold and not feeling good part of the time, but we were are always thankful to get to see her

No matter the situation.




#11

Thankful that a difficult situation our Daughter

and Son-in-love had going on since November

seems to finally be coming to a partial end, hopefully

next week.  Then it will be on to phase 2, and

hopefully it will end a lot sooner than Phase 1.  lol


#12

Thankful that someone we know and love who is
experiencing marital problems have finally decided
to go to marriage counseling. So praying for the
Lord to lead them to just the right counselor and to
 soften hearts and give ears to hear!

Scripture Sunday

 


I think the Lord has been showing us this since

last Wednesday when revival broke out at Asbury College

Awesome things going on in our country.  I have read

that it has happened in Ohio too.  I have seen on face

book that it has spread to other states, but don't know

that for sure, but I sure hope it keeps spreading.

If we ever needed a revival in our country....

it is definitely now!


Have a Hopeful and Joyful Week,

Hugs, Nellie

Thankful to see a video of one of our
younger Pastors who went to his 
daughter's ballet class, when they
had bring your Dad to class day.
So he did a little dance routine with
 her. It was adorable and so funny,

Thankful for a good day at church, as usual.
  We ran into a girl who used to go to our church
 back when she was a older teenager, she is 50
now and has been married for 30 yrs. and has
 4 children. She is actually married to a guy
who used to live a few houses away from us.

 over the years. Was great to see her. Sounds
like she might come back to our church.
Hope so.......Cause she is such a delightful
girl (woman now!).


#8
Thankful that we got to have food from
Taco Bell today.  We hardly ever get to
do that because there is always a line
around the building and it takes you
about a half hour. So that was a
Special treat for us today. (Sunday)

Thankful that our sweet neighbors

just sent over a big container of

homemade Chicken and Dumplings.

(Sunday Evening) Delicious as always.


#10

Thankful to hear there has been a mighty

 move of God that started at Asbury College

 in Kentucky last Wed. during a typical 

chapel service, and many other colleges

 have come from other places as well.

If we ever needed a move of God in a

big way....it is now!!


Note: heard today it is still going on

and it's 9 days later.  People are coming

from all over the place even from

around the world. So Amazing,

So Needed.......

#12
Thankful to have the opportunity to be a
 listening ear, comfort and and prayer warrior
for someone who is going through a plethora
of different situations, about 12 to be exact.
Enough to do anyone in.....I would add.
We are praying for a might move of God
 to say the least...........









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



Thanks for coming by....


Have a Lovely rest of the week.


Love, Hugs, and
Mid February Blessings,
Nellie
