THankful THursday

                              

I am combining my One Thousand list of  blessings  ( from Ann Voskamp's book)  with Thankful Thursday from now on.

846.  So much to be thankful for  just in looking out the window...seeing the maples finally decide to  change their leaves is a blessing...  

even some gold in the oaks!

The Lord tells us  in his Word there is a time, a season or everything under heaven...seeing his  miracle of  order  take place  gives us hope and  bolsters our faith that He is the one who is in control!!

847.  How could I not be  thankful for my  precious hubs who is making homemade waffles and  frying up bacon for our morning repast!!! ummm, I wish you could smell the kitchen!!!

848. I am so thankful that my cataract/glaucoma/astigmatism surgery took so well... I had a fine report yesterday and will be doing the other eye  after Thanksgiving!

849.  We are extremely blessed by our  beautiful granddaughters, Birdie and  Lady Bug...  even though we live hundreds of miles apart, we get to face time regularly  and  she sends us the most fun photos  ..  I love digital photography....  a  marvelous wonder of this age!!!

Here they are Mommy's little shopper helpers  at the market...  always  excited about the crustaceans!

850.  Another  item I  love  in this new age of   technology is found in the dairy case.

I absolutely  am giddy over  Salted Caramel  Natural Bliss..

made with natural ingredients and is sooo  tasty, especially in autumn!!!

851.  One thing I have noticed which is quite an epiphany for me... now that the kitchen and bath have been updated,  the  rooms  all painted and  old carpets  are  gone and new  rugs in place...  now when I go shopping at Lowes  with Hubs   for  a flashlight battery,  I am  completely satisfied to sit in the car.. There is not one single thing in Lowes  that I think I will ever need...  The same is true with clothing.. I get  scads of catalogs,  but now that I've  cleaned out my closet.. nothing in any catalog draws my attention...I am perfectly content in my circumstance and wants... it is  such a  glorious  feeling!!!  Thank you, Lord!!!

852.  I am  so blessed to be doing Community Bible Study..our  book is Isaiah....  It isn't exactly easy...  the homework can be  time consuming and sometimes pretty  complex... but I love it so much..  I love my small group of ladies...  we are from all  walks of life,  all ages,,  and  we learn so much from each other..with so much terrible stuff happening all around us  in the news...    things that almost seem impossible to rectify.. God's promises in Isaiah  truly  help  us to know we can trust Him in all things..  He has a plan and it will come to be.. He has  a purpose and it will      stand!!!

853. These couple of weeks  before me     I  sort  had a dread about because two  of our  "couple friends"  are  vacationing at the beach  and  their loss is felt  in the heart,  in the  church and    and  in the mind...but  the lord  is  amazing.. how he cares  for us even in such small things...just last week.. a lady whom  I  barely know  but whom I have always admired for her faith and  strength of character  approached me in a meeting and told me how much my face book posts meant to her...  this week she  has  communicated back and forth with me  so much and  we are probably  planning next week to get together for coffee and  a nice get to know you chat...  every time I see her  comment on a post  I smile and feel a fulfilling  warmth that covers  the tinges any other losses..Jehovah Jireh  , He who supplies our needs  never lets us down...  Lord God,  You are awesome and I love you!!!  and now I must attend to this!!!

Thankful Thursday

 I am combining my One Thousand list of  blessings with Thankful Thursday from now on...
830.  I am so thankful to live in a nation where open Bible study classes are  available   to anyone who really wants to dig deeper into God's Word.This season I am doing an in depth study on Isaiah, and Hebrews, and Philippians...  Thankfully,  the Isaiah class is the only one that requires  weekly homework.
831. Our precious oldest granddaughter celebrated her 5th birthday yesterday in her Pre-K class  her little sister got  to come in and celebrate with them..

What a joy these two are to us!!
832.  My sweetheart  has been amazing to me this week...  I had been wanting to go the Joanne's Fabrics  to  get some scrap booking paper  for a  special project for the girls, but it has been so rainy and horrid out  that he drove me  to Bible Study class  then he drove me to  Joanne's and just sat in the car  and let me browse to my heart's content... I didn't  take advantage of his kindness  so he  also drove me to the next town to Supershoes and I was able to finally find 2 pairs of nice  leather  winter shoes (dressy and casual) that actually felt good on my  pitiable feet..  I have  a  hammer toe  from a ruptured plantar plate...  years ago...  it  was a great day!!!!
833. I love it when friends and family  just call and say they would like to drop in...  Tuesday Marnee, Hub's cousin who is a very special lady, dropped by..we had  such a sweet visit. I grew up in a time when  dropping in was  what we did...   but we seem to have lost that  friendly  tradition.. It was  a much more genteel time I think and   Tuesday  was much sweeter because of the love connection we shared. 
834. This weekend our church is hosting a Women's Workshop  on the book of Philippians...I have been forward to this for so long... and  I am  ecstatic that we have 100 participants from our church.  I definitely need to reread through the book  a few times today.

835.  I do not think Ive written about my lovely daughter who lives in N E and is a member of a church in Boston about 30 miles from their home,  but it is a great Bible believing   historic church on the Common. Because she lives on the outer edge of the church community  she has taken on herself to be the hostess to bring  other  church ladies into her home for coffee chats and get to know you  round table discussions  about  the   sermons and  the like.  I am so proud of her.  She is  a young mother of 2  little ones and is a very busy mom,  but she does this about once a month...  It is so sweet  for me to see some of my delights in hosting tea parties etc  come out in her..I recently found  a great coffee set - part from Replacements (cups) and part on Etsy  (Coffee service)  for her  way early Christmas gift..

She loves it because it is mid-century modern.. her favorite style. Thank goodness for   options to purchase vintage wares!

836.   Let me just say that I am  so blessed by our children...  our daughter, Amanda, and her family photo  taken at their church  following service last Easter.

837.  I would be remiss if I didn't thank the  good Lord for my Hubs...  I have  horrible allergies that have gone rampant during this rainy weather..  and  I cannot stand to vacuum anytime...  stirring up the dust doesn't sit with me..  while I am typing he is   vacuuming..  God bless him!!

838.  Our last sunny day  we were at the lake and  the sunset was glorious..  

Thank you, Lord!

839.  Last night at church,  a dear  church member,, a retired opthamologist,   who  is suffering from a very debilitating  neurological  disease  opened our study on Hebrews with a very inclusive  accounting of who Jesus is... This man is so precious...  pouring out his life to serve and  demonstrating his love for the Lord in powerful ways as he is able...   he  becomes  pretty emotional   at times  because of his deep, deep love for Christ.  It was  a beautiful evening,  but  there had to be some  heart felt weeping going on, too.. What an example of Christ to us.  Love poured out on us  as the rain peppered  down outside!

840.   I am blessed to be able to enjoy the most amazing music on Pandora like the one one playing now

THankful THursday

I have been doing Thankful Thursday for  some time...  with long lapses in between... I  started with a  blogger  years ago  and  was pretty faithful to post  with  her  group,  then I read  1000 Gifts  , Ann Voskamps,  marvelous book   of  journalling the many  small  things that God  showers on us  throughout the day... I got up to   the  higher numbers  and life seemed to become so hectic it was  hard to  pay that much  attention to the bright details  that God  was raining on me..  So  now I will pick up    and move forward  now that I have found another  faithful  Blogger to  link up here with each week!!!

825.  I am so thankful for the answer to prayer for our community  this week..  We were  not pummeled with the  weather as predicted.. Florence  gently passed us by..  I saw very little wind or water damage.. Praise  you, Father!

826.  I am so blessed  in the  many friends  and family on facebook and church  who  prayed for me during this last ordeal with Squamous cancer on my nose.. I  had the skin graft  applied last week,  and it was  revealed  yesterday to show it had taken,  was good to go...  and  again,  thank you, Lord, for your loving compassion, mercy, and  great love!

827.   I  am thankful  that   over the last  few weeks while I took a sabbatical from choir,  I am now looking forward to  practicing with dear Hubs  on the Christmas  program this year...  He  sings weekly, too,  but, I'm just not up to that these days. This year's   Christmas program  promises to be  so  wonderful - the selections are  inspiring and  full of gospel,  yet  very heart felt,... for example,  I love this one!!!

828.   I am  very excited that tomorrow   our Sunday School class will be going to  Smith Mountain Lake for a  wonderful afternoon cook out...  The environs are so magnificent...  To be near that water is so spiritually healing for me.. I am hugely thankful to get to go this year!

829.  Dearest Hubs made dinner for us tonight...  his specialty, Spaghetti, and a salad...   it smells   divine!!!  Thank you Lord for loving me though my  dearest partner in life!!!

One Thousand Gifts / Joy Dare (824-829)

I used to follow  Ann Voskamp's Joy Dare rather regularly,,, and it kept in  a  very uplifted spirit..  I need to  find that Spirit again!  When I do the dare  activity I added  the items to my 1000 gifts  from her  book,, her first book  I ever read!

Now I am also  adding  some  blessings and    following Ann's  Joy Dare a bit ..  the theme this month is  

"The Art of Really Living and Giving" or
Paying it Forward
824.  I am thankful that God put it on me to   get in touch  with a precious friend, my best friend from High School whom I had lost touch with for 50 years..We got together for lunch yesterday and it was  it proved this adage to a tee!


825.  I am also so blessed by my heavenly Father..I have been   stressing out for the last few months worried about a  regrowth  of a cancer I had removed from my nose last fall which resulted in a skin graft the size of a penny on the top of the end of the nose..  It was  a long ordeal,  several months  went by and come April I was noticing redness right beside the  patch and  my  horrible imagination  had me thinking the worst thoughts about having to  remove the patch and start over .  I went to the surgeon at UVA and he said it looked like natural healing to him,  but he said remember I'm not trained  to recognize  small  sunspots.  So I sent a photo to the dermatologist he sent back he didn't see anything alarming...  so for a time I was relieved  and tried to  forget it. June went by and  there wasn't a change in the way it looked  but  it was  still there and  beginning to burn..I immediately called my dermatologist in Charlottesville  and got an appointment  the next day.. yesterday.. he wasn't convinced  it was  anything to be  too concerned about but he definitely told me and showed it was not  at related to the original  squamous cell  lesion..and one not to take  a chance, he took a biopsy of it...   I will hear back in a couple of weeks,  but  he told in his  awesome experience..  he has done thousands of these..he  said it could be a pre-cancer sunspot or  at most a very  early basal cell but so small he felt  85 % certain the biopsy took care of it  but even I do have more surgery it should not interfere with my   skin graft...  Praise you, Lord, because I understand it was your Holy Spirit pricking me to be  concerned enough to call and take care of it while  it is  so fresh and  easily dealt with...    His love and tender mercies lead us through  this difficult life.. It is good to be attuned to Him and  heed His call to action! 






826.My hubs and I are so happy that our   renovated bathroom will be essentially finished  by this time tomorrow..  except for two  items still on order...We have waited so long to  even start this project and to see it come together    for us is a dream come true.. here is a teaser..  now this we  an enlargement of a 3 piece powder room
Last week it looked like this  

More photos  will posted once it is completely  finished!  

827. I  was so blessed at lunch today  when I  took my dish to the  pot luck at church and I arrived with a rather  what seemed like a large bandage on the side of my nose...although it actually just one of small round ones,  but it was so reminiscent of  last fall   ... I had wondered it   would  raise a question or two..  Everyone was so concerned  about my nose  wanting to know all the detains.. hugging on me,,  pampering me with Christian love and  concern...  That is such an important part of church life.. the support and mercy we show to  one another!

828.    A give it forward   idea  from Ann Voskamp is  to  either call a friend just to say hi or send a   friendly note just to offer you best wishes and  concern for  your friend!  I made it my business to get around to the older folks today and make them feel  included,  cared for, and blessed...  Anyway we can give ourselves away  we are pleasing God!


829. Give the gift of forgiveness today... God's word  expressed that   forgiveness from God is contingent on us forgiving one another...  not to hold grudges  against  anyone and  live free from the entanglement of  separation and strife with one another..I have really tried to  judge my own actions and   things I've said  either callously or when I misspeak  to  immediately  ask forgiveness  in humility..  It is to live a life of freedom   and  just  trying to put others first... I  have a  bold  personality and sometimes I do misspeak without thinking and then I think I may have  hurt a feeling or  made someone  not know how to take me...  By immediately asking forgiveness and  trying to explain myself it is teaching me humility and I am finding I learn more about holding my tongue.. My place on earth is not to  speak out in jest to  get a  laugh or response,  because sometimes the response is not at all what I intended.

One Thousand Gifts (809-815)

I knew  retirement could be such a hectically, busy life! I've been working on this list now for some time...  Actually my last post was September, 2017.   I feel  rather ashamed not to be  recognizing the powerful work of God in our lives.  But  believe me we are  very grateful for all he has done!
809.  Thank you Lord for working out all the  details of my MOHS surgery, and reconstruction surgery last fall. Even though we live in a city of 150,000   our  lack of  great MOHs surgeons is very limited.. and I was put on  a long hold  for   removal of a squamous cell  cancer on the end of my nose...  Praise God a friend recommended a wonderful  doctor in Charlottesville who saw me in a week and  had the thing off  the next week...  He then set me up with a marvelous  reconstructive team at UVA Medical Center...  Today I am good as new and  I just love my two new  doctor friends!
810.  It has  been  a wonderful year to  see our  grand daughters  growing  so  healthy, sweet, and talented..  One 2 the other 4,  they quite amaze us with their  giftings...  What a blessing!
811.  Praise God that we were able to make  two  lovely trips to Boston since September..over Christmas and  over Easter.  Our only  child and her family live 12 hours away  and so for us  that is a two day  pretty difficult road trip... The Lord has been gracious to give us health and the means to make  that trip  a couple of dozen  times since they moved up there 10 years ago.  I confess that sometimes  I get the mulligrubs when I see my friends  spending so much precious time with their grands...I am learning to deal with it,  but sometimes it is hard!God is in control of all things!!!
812.We determined that this year would be the year we would  get our  main level three piece powder room  enlarged and  renovated. Thankfully, we had two closets to  consume into the plan.  We got started in April, went to a main, large home shopping dealer  and worked with their project  manager for a month and a half. Thankfully,  even after that long we hadn't signed a contract because  their practice of  not keeping to their schedule that we  had been told  about, even having us wait a month....  we decided they weren't for us! That put us back to square 1...  we found  what we thought was  a nice  contractor,   but  after  talking about the scope of the job we realized our money wasn't allowing us to have tiled surfaces....then we  figured out why. He had a 100 % markup on everything we had to buy..
so we  quickly said, "Adios"
Pretty skittish by this time,  but we knew a young  man who was in the business, we gave his company a call and  he said he could work us in the next week..After one week of work,  the bathroom has been  demolished back to the studs, the plumbing and electrical are  roughed in and we had the inspections yesterday... the  drywall and tile will go up next week!!!  Praise God he  has set this all in motion at exactly the right time!!!  I fully expect to have it complete by the end of the month!!!
813. I love our dear friends...  so faithful and true...
One couple lives in a beautiful home in the mountains and   they have had  2 or 3 other couples including us every year for  probably 10 years in  for a patriotic cookout  and  dining in their gorgeous  screened in porch that looks out over the  ravine beyond their  landscaped lawn.  It is  always so cool and just  the best time.  Just Wednesday Hubs asked me "so I guess  our friends didn't do  a cookout this year"...  I replied, "Well, it has been so hot!"  So we left it at that... then yesterday  my friend called and invited us for  tomorrow night..  for the  cold front arrived just in time and the evening will be  extremely pleasant.  Thank you Lord for loving us so much and to even work the weather in our favor  so  we  friends can be together..God is such a loving God.He loves the gathering together of His children!
814.  I praise God for  the Holy Spirit who is always so near,  knows the inner workings of my heart, knows how in my inner self I can deal with  imaginings and  things not  from heaven..So He is always there,  calming my spirit,  speaking truth, peace and tranquility to my spirit,  giving me hope and  freedom  from things that can cause me to despair,  and speak truth  to me  so I can allay my fears  and  walk in HIM in peace...  I love the Holy Spirit so much! 
815.  I am so thankful for my husband who is the complete opposite of me...  Thank you, Lord, for putting us together,  for without him I would be  a mess.  I do have my giftings.. I am the intuitive one... and I have been known  to get us out of scrapes  several times,  but he is the pragmatic one,,  very cool, calm,  and collected... He never  gets angry over things that  I see   that need to be taken care,  like calling people and giving them a piece of my mind  because of their  incompetence at high prices.. he  most often gives it time to work itself out giving everyone the benefit of the doubt.. drives me nuts... So I am trying to  stay calm and follow his lead...I believe that is my mother's side coming out in me,, and I realize  it isn't  pretty,    Lynn is teaching over these long years  to  just let go and let God!

One Thousand Gifts 801-808

I have tried to be  much more vigilant in recognizing God's hand in my life...  is small mercies that are new every morning!!

It has taken me a few years to  get  to my 800th  item  which is  not a very  optomistic  thing to admit...  for  I could have  written  on untold  myriads of blessings  he has  gifted on me. I am  rather repentant  in not  keeping up with this listing  because I realize that without  God am and can do nothing.

I like to use Ann's  calendar   provided on her website  of  types of  things to think about and    share...  so  starting with  September first  I will  allow her  listing to  inspire my memories  of the last week,

801.  Last night  coming out  of choir  the  rising  full moon  took my breath away...  I didnt have my  camera  but I found  this one online...  the  Full Corn moon.... 

which reminds me  so much of the  delicious summer corn we have been  purchasing at our local  farmer's market!

  

Fresh corn is one of summer's best  wonders of the vine  or should I say, stalk!

802.Sunday I was privileged to  be able to  provide the  morning refreshments for our Sunday school class.. I spent the early hours trimming  the fruit for a  fruit platter...

the strawberries indeed were a huge hit.. they were  so  juicy and  plump...thank you, Lord, for  the varieties  of summer....  such a  delicious bounty of beauty and  sweetness!!

803.  Also, on Sunday, our visiting daughter and her family  had made arrangements  for  casual  family  photographs to be made.  We were told to  choose  coordinating colors of  blue and pastels...  Our  precious  grands  donned  yellow.. one of my favorite colors...special colors  and  wonderful memories  to cherish!

 

804.  Early this week  the temperatures were rather warm,  but  there was  a hint of   autumn in the breeze...a perfect day  for me to sit out on the porch and  do a  bit of bird journalling.

I couldn't believe the only birds I saw in over an hour  was  an American Crow  and a Cardinal...

      

805. Last night  a  dip in the jet stream brought  much cooler  temps and  refreshing  rain to our mostly parched lawn.. I love  listening to the pitter patter of rain at night. This morning  we enjoyed our coffee  on the porch  as we were  draped in our  sweaters and  long  flannels...  it  was a  pleasure to put my whites  away for the season!!!

806.  I love to look out the back  when the  mums  begin to  bloom...  their  gorgeous  green  growth is  verdantly  rich and healthy looking,  but the miracle of blooms  is breath-taking.


807.  Today we had the  great opportunity to serve some of our best friends, Gerri and David.  Gerri had a knee replacement last week and  hubs and I  made dinner  to serve them today...It is such a blessing to  be  able to   do something  that demonstrates  the love of Christ    especially to such precious friends...today Hubs  told me  it had to be the same dish a friend  served us  when I had  major surgery a few years ago.
Poppyseed Chicken Casserole
2 cups chicken diced   (you can use canned)   
          1 can cream of chicken soup                     
       8 ounces sour cream                               
         2 tablespoons ground poppyseeds                 
              1 sleeve ritz crackers                     1 stick melted butter                                                                                          
Combine the first four ingredients.  Set aside.  Melt the butter and crumble the crackers.  Put together and spread half of the mixture in a casserole dish.  Pour in the chicken mixture.  Put the remainder of the crackers on top.  Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.  Serve over rice.
Pure comfort food!

808.  What a blessing to  look over in Baa Baa's chair and  see  little one,, our oldest grand,  entertaining herself with one of her books. She isnt even 4 yet,  but  so bright and talented...  God bless her  as much as she blesses me!

One Thousand Gifts (792-800)

792.  I am so thankful for    a lifting of my spirit that I haven't felt in some time.. it is a turning of a corner.

793.  Peace  that confounds all understanding  in a world  that seems to be spinning out of control

794.  Fulfilment  of  my days...  

795.  The  satisfaction  of picking up a book that  has lain too long on the shelf and  is being read  for  simple pleasure... just hadn't felt like reading in a long spanse of time

796. Green shoots of spring  bounding out of the  cold  brown earth

797. Snippets of  savory basil  from my very own    plant on my kitchen   counter... I love basil!

798.  The expectation of    blossoms  from  the new   hydrangeas  I  am ordering  for spring planting

785.  I am thankful for the  presence of the Lord  and His tender mercies especially during times of my most intense struggle and battles  before the evil one
786. I am thankful for the Lord's provision of peace  and  harmony in a  world that seems to  be  flying  apart at the seams
787. I am thankful for the  rivers of life that flow  from  Christian friend  one to the other    that  bind up  hearts and  shed  mercy among  the brethren
788.I am  thankful for the  sunlight coming through the blinds casting the  shadow  of the slats on the floor  but yet  demonstrate  the hope of a  beautiful bright day filled with  the    warming rays from heaven
789.I am thankful for the  study I am doing  about  finding contentment with less... and  learning to  hold loosely on  possessions.   It was so freeing to  take a huge load of items to the  salvation army yesterday....  I must remember that feeling and  choose to do it more and more!
790.  I am so thankful to have this  season of tired,  viral  malaise  behind me and  the ability to join  with  my  sisters in the Lord to  discuss and share  in Bible study....  how precious it is  to  be in unity around the Word of God!
791.  This week  I was  so touched by the  simple words of greeting and  recognition of  many  
folks at church who  genuinely demonstrated  their  delight in seeing me..  from  folks I barely know...  it  warmed my heart   yet it also quickened me to be more attentive  for opportunities to bless others in kind...

Eucharisteo

Yum!

784.  I so enjoy the laughter of   the  children  who  recently moved in next door....  it has been a while since  we had  children  around   here....  Now this is  quite different form the wailing banshees  when school is in session and all the classes are outside  across the street...    After 30 years of   3rd graders  I  loved  each adn everyone of them,  but  in unison  they can  become a melee of     cacophony...  I am just now  losing the  auto reflex of saying ' SHHH"  as I walk past  people  talking..  But  seeing  and hearing  our dear neighbors  out playing on thew eekend is so  dear....  I am so reminded of  our  darling daughter  playing in the autumn leaves  this time of year!    Sweet memories!

 785.  It is a  glorious thing  but also a bit challenging....  all of the  special choir practices added to  the schedule just for the Christmas Pageant...  But what a joy it is to   prepare for the new music and  to  be together with  dear  choir friends....  it is so  scary though how fast  the year comes around.....it seems like we just did  our yuletide  program  just  such a  short time ago!
