Favorites

  -This time, I am going to do something totally different and list some of my "favorites".  I have absolutely no idea why I am doing such a thing! I just know that, one afternoon, out of the blue, the thought came to me to share some of my favorites. I am not sure if it was the Holy Spirit or not, but I figure, why risk disobeying Him by not doing it?  So here goes:

My favorite color has always been green. I don't wear a lot of green but I like to see it on other people. Anyway, I figure that God must like green as He put so much of it in nature!

My favorite pastime is reading. I have always been a voracious reader. Even now, I do a lot of reading on my computer. I read the Bible a lot but other things as well, including a lot of classic English literature. Before the stroke, one of my favorite pastimes was curling but, of course, I can't do it now.

My favorite type of food is Ukrainian. I first learned to love it by visiting my mother-in-law. She made the best Ukranian food. Good thing, though, that I don't get it too often or I would be 600 pounds! Another thing I like, probably too much, is chocolate.

My favorite season is winter. Especially if there is lots of snow but not too cold. I used to cross-country ski and it can't be too cold for that.

My favorite holiday is Christmas. Not only is it in my favorite season, I like that there is more of a focus on Jesus at that time. Plus, I love Christmas music, decorations, exchanging cards and gifts, eating Christmas baking, etc. There seems to be an atmosphere at Christmas that isn't there the rest of the year.

My favorite tv show is hockey. I mostly watch tv to help pass time but do limit it to evenings when I am too tired to do much else. Once in awhile, I do watch a documentary or a movie (if I can find a decent one) but I mostly watch sports. When it is not hockey season, I watch other sports but hockey is my favorite.

That is just a few of my favorites.  I still don't know why I wrote this but I did.
