Now I've always been perplexed as to why the lovely "Favorite Things" song from Sound of Music gets played around Christmas time. If anyone can give me a reason as to why this is, I would very much appreciate it. Now that is in fact completely beside the point. I was reminded this week of some of my all time favorite things, those things that are lovely, sweet, beautiful, breathtaking, and all together wonderful. I could write so much but I'm going to try to just name a few starting with today and working my way backwards.
Today I am thankful for:
yoga pants
comfy oversized sweaters
squishy sofas
music by Jenny&Tyler
cups of strong coffee
sitting criss-cross-apple-sauce
hugs from sweet friends
words on a page that are simple yet, freeing
afternoon naps
the pitter-patter sound of rain
This week was full of memories and time spent with wonderful friends that mean so very much to me. I am thankful for each and every:
giggle shared over something silly
photo captured
moment spent dancing
reminder to slow down & enjoy the moment
burden lifted
exchange of encouragement
act of simple service that continue to take my breath away
pat on the back & high-five
slip up, trip, & fall that remind me I'm not perfect & to laugh at myself
time someone reminded me to soak this all in
time I felt Jesus' hand in mine guiding me & strengthening me
These are a few of my favorite things.
"Every good gift and every perfect ([a]free, large, full) gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of all [that gives] light, in [the shining of] Whom there can be no variation [rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [as in an eclipse]." James 1:17 AMP
