Thankful Thursday

 

Happy last Thursday in October.  Where in the world did October go?

Our fall colors are starting to show, I can't wait to go for a drive and capture the beauty.   We got some very much needed rain, and cooler temps *it seems like fall* not our Indian Summer.

We had our first heavy freeze *very early* but glad all the ragweeds are now gone and dead.  They cause horrible allergies.  There was at least 15 varieties in the yard.  

Today I am thankful for so many things *everyday is a blessing to me* 

THANKFUL

My salvation, the never ending love of our heavenly Father (he never leaves us), cooler temps, the rain we got and more coming,  dependable transportation, the ability to go and take pictures, food in the cabinets, warm comfy blankets for cooler nights, heat for cold weather, my pets who love me unconditionally, friends, family, the ladies at the church I go to.

PRAYING FOR

our country, many illnesses throughout the country, people who have lost loved ones, lost souls, people who need financial freedom, the homeless, family members who are going thru problems, friends who are facing troubles, a friend whose pet is on the edge of crossing rainbow bridge, (MYSELF to be a better servant to those in need) having the wisdom to say the right words at the right time to somebody who may need to hear, being able myself to see and hear the words that God wants me to say.  Please keep praying that I find my necklace (its a family heirloom that belonged to mom, dad got it for her on their 25th wedding anniversary in 1979)  

I pray all of you have a blessed and safe weekend ahead.   

Thursday, October 27Romans 5:1717 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
Read Romans 5

Good morning I hope everyone is having a blessed week.  Everyday is a blessing for me.  We got some very much needed rain, was so dry 24 hrs later can hardly tell we even got rain. The weather is seeming more like fall, vs Indian summer.   Our trees are finally starting to turn YAYY I can't wait to take a drive and get some pictures.  

My shoulder is doing great other than the cold weather achy (s) I am able to do most daily tasks now, still have a 5 to 10 lb limit until I see the dr the end of December.  We had our family reunion on 101522 35 showed up, we counted at least that many that couldn't make the day, their loss we had so much fun going down memory lane and building new memories   Hard to believe moms siblings have dwindled down to only 2 living there was 6.  Soon it will be my generation cousins doing the family reunions, I would really like to carry on the tradition after the uncles are gone.   Moms baby brother *seated in picture with overalls on* cried when I hugged him, he said I look more like my mama every time that he sees me, they were happy tears of course.  mom was 11 yrs older than him, he is 19 yrs older than me.   Both uncle and I have always had a special bond as I was the first and oldest niece on mom's side,  dad's side I am the baby all the way around.     Do you attend your family reunions?  Do  you prefer to host?   

The twins will be 9 months old on November 2 my how time has flown by.

I hope you all have a blessed rest of your week,

The End of October

 Welcome once again to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 and thank you for joining in and                  helping to keep it going.  It is very much appreciated.  You can join here https://tuesdaysplace.blogspot.com/

October is fast slipping away though it seems to only just begun!              Columbus Day is over but it will end with All Hallows Eve or Halloween           the night before All Saint's Day when Christian martyrs are remembered             and honored.   All hallows eve really means, the night before the holy          martyrs day but somehow it became associated with spooky happenings.   Let's talk about the end of October.              

1. Do you give out candy on Halloween to neighborhood kids? Did you ever. have you always? As a teen and young adult I did regularly, however              as of late I do not live in a populated kids area.

2. We must dress up as this Halloween. Yes, you have to!  What will your costume be this year?  How about Jesus' mother Mary

3. Have you ever carved pumpkins?  Have you visited the gorgeous Hudson Valley in New York state? No to both.  I wanted to this year however my          shoulder had different ideas.

4. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving takes place in Sleepy Hollow a town known today as Tarrytown, NY. a lovely town in the Hudson Valley not far from the Catskill Mountains, site of Rip Van Winkle.   ...😊......................';[dddddddddd                     The Hudson Valley is considered one of the most beautiful places in America.  The Hudson separates NY from New Jersey Do you know the Legend of Sleepy Hollow?          How about Rip Van Winkle?  Do you believe either could be based on     true stories as some believe?  Why/ why not?  I do know both legends I feel                   like they both could be based on true stories, because everything that                      happens in both stories,      I could see happening in real life.

Tuesday 102522

 Happy Tuesday all.   I pray that each of you are doing well.   

We finally got some much needed rain here in OK,   I haven't taken many pics of  late as the sudden changing weather has my shoulder in a tizzy.  Nothing out of the normal just have to listen when it tells me to stop doing stuff.  My zoo crew is all doing well.  *Maybe a new name for a blog ? as I have my dollies and animals*  this may have to happen.   My heater decided it didn't want to work this year :( we have to take it apart with it have been raining it will have to be done at later time, I have a couple ceramic >electric< heaters that are sufficient for now.    I still HAVE NOT found my beloved necklace.  I know it will show up when I need a pick me up, and God will show me where it is.  Our trees are finally turning, may take a drive in a few days to capture some of the beauty.

One thing I enjoy doing is coloring thought this one was appropriate for the season

The Babies are growing th

ey will be 9 months on 11222

The women I go to church with we had a get together and one of the ladies made these 2 cuties   A veggie skeleton,  I just love Pintrest, do YOU?

Sandra rocking her new jammies 

Graecie is rocking her new jammies as well she is growing she is up to 4.9 lbs

last but not least, All we need is the faith of a mustard seed.  One of my favorite verses.  Do you have that faith that can move a mountain?  

Thankful Thursday

 

Happy Thursday all!  hope your week has been full of many blessings.

This past Saturday we had our family reunion on my moms side there was 35 there and approx that many that couldn't make it.   We had a great time and all of us 1st gen cousins sat around reminiscing about when our grandparents were alive, with things we all did growing up.   This was so much fun, I am pretty sure there were many tears.
