Some of my favorite words...


This was one of my very first posts back in 2008! I was inspired to revisit it today after reading a friend's post this morning over at shells and bells flowers and showers.


I'm a list person. Wrote this list a while back. Was stunned as it "took shape"....

Justified
Sanctified

Saved
Free
All
Whosoever
Faith/Faithful/Faithfulness
Hope (not necessarily a favorite….but noteworthy nonetheless)
Assurance
Believe
Righteousness
New Covenant
Forgiveness
Mercy
Love
Joy
Patience
Kindness
Goodness
Gentleness

Wow! Do you mean that this was not intentional?
Great list; so meaningful!

I do grocery lists...anything else takes effort. :) Question, "Hope (not necessarily a favorite….but noteworthy nonetheless)", does this mean you struggle with it? Just curious as too why not a favorite but noteworthy word. And I liked "All" because I thought it has so much meaning! Neat list. Now I'm wondering what a list person is? :))

Hi Yiota. Yep. I remember being stunned/so surprised as I realized the shape it was taking on while I was typing it out. :)

Tammy - A list person is just someone who likes to make lists. I mostly make "to do" lists for the sheer purpose of crossing things off as I go - that's the fun/feel good part :)

Your other question is a good one but hard to answer in a few words. The short answer is "Yes - sometimes I do. "Hope" made the list here bc I'd be lost without it! - and I'd hate to have no hope! - but it just seems inherent in the word "hope" is a nagging element of uncertainty - & I guess that's why it's not technically a favorite. Hmmm...I feel a potential post brewing in my head but probably the reason I haven't already written it is bc it would take some serious time to wrap words around my thoughts here :)
