I can’t find a scheduled showing of Sound of Music on TV this Thanksgiving.
Not that I ever actually watched it on Thanksgiving.
But it feels like the end of an era.
Beside the point, but… sigh… still…
Anyway…
One of the songs, that I sang ad nausium when I was a little girl, in the Sound of Music is “These Are a Few of My Favorite Things.” You know… raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens…
It’s a happy song. Maybe a little silly and frivolous. But it makes a good point.
When the dog bites, when the bee stings, or when I’m feeling sad, it does help to think of a few of my favorite things.
Kinda like… Paul telling us to think of things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely and admirable. (Phil. 4:8)
Hmmmm…
So here are a few of my favorite things…
THE WORD OF GOD
THE LOVE OF JESUS
MY DANIEL

Oh wow. This is great. I noticed no Sound of Music on TV either. Wizard of Oz is another one I'm looking for on TV during the Christmas season.
A few of my favorite things: My sweet hubby, my road bike, friends, soda, mercy, Jesus' sacrifice for me, writing.
