These are a few of MY favorite things!

Maria [aka Julie Andrews] has her ‘raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens’. Now, I am not as sing-songy as all that [well, maybe I am....he he], but I do have my own favorite things. Since I love lists, I thought I’d share a few of my ‘favorites’ with you. Mind you, these are in no order whatsoever….and it is not an exhaustive list….that'd take too long.... ;-)

• God
• God’s promises of things to come
• Homemade ice cream
• Super soft socks
• Fuzzy slippers
• Clean sheets on a freshly made bed
• Towels hung out to dry on a warm, sunny day
• The warm, fuzzy feeling you get after selflessly doing something for someone [like a stranger] who in no way has the means to ever return the favor
• The feeling you have after a hard day of physical labor [helping build a house, haul hay, build a dam, digging a trench…..you get the idea.
• The way a shower feels after doing any of the above activities.
• Sleeping in your own bed after being away from it for a long time [like a mission trip]
• A really good conversation with a friend [where you learn a lot about each other]
• Reading the Word of God
• HUGS
• Stargazing
• Frolicking in the rain during one of those awesome summer showers [when there is no thunder or lightning…]
• The smell of fall
• The sound of the woods in the morning when you know you’re the only one out there
• Hope
• Naps
• Ice cold Stewarts root beer
• Singing praises to God and worshipping Him
• Looking back and seeing the clear undeniable fingerprints of God all over the situations in your life
• Being snuggled up in bed on a stormy or snowy morning, knowing you DON’T have to get up
• Feeling warm on a cold day
• Beenie Weenies [the homemade kind my mom makes, not that gross stuff from a can]
• Smiling :-)
  

So, Julie can have her bright copper kettles. These are my favorite things. :-D

What are YOUR favorite things??
