I Like...

I like tuna fish sandwiches. I like my new cowboy boots and my turquoise scrubs and my burgundy cords from last year that I forgot I had. I like my hair today and my fingernail polish. I like sleeping in a sweatshirt when it's cool and rainy outside like last night. I like that I have a medium weather coat with a hood for fall days.
I like my purse from Kohl's that's brown and black and burgundy.
I like that Jay e mails me stupid stuff. I like that Mac calls me at work if he needs me and that I have a job that allows me to talk to him.
I like my nursing school ring. I like disco.
I like Autumn and that there's home made soup warming for me right now. I like my gramma and grampa's antique Grandmother's clock that is on my landing. I like when my mom buys me magazines and also when she takes me out to lunch in Greektown (like yesterday).
I like it that my contact list on my e mail account is about two miles long because I have many friends and when I e mail prayer requests I get about a thousand replies overnight.
I like blogs.
I like my clothes ironed and creased. I like it that Folger's extra dark roast is just as good as Tim Hortons and I save money.
I like it that my friend calls me Beara and my manager calls me Sister.
I like e mails and notes in the snail mail. I like bottled water and my new kitchen appliances.
I like planning going to Greenfield Village Holiday Nights with my family even though my snot will freeze to my face and my dad stops at every bonfire for three years at a time. I don't like chestnuts roasted on an open fire but I buy them and I do like them when we all share a bag together.
I like it that my friends agree with every crazy idea that I come up with and pretend I'm brilliant.
I like flannel sheets. I like the watches my friends at work bought me with a bunch of different bands. I like having a new car and I like that it's orange.
I like it when someone trusts me enough to cry in front of me.
I like books and especially reading in bed right before sleep. I like sock monkeys. I like my church and hearing my husband sing and play bass.
I have been redeemed by such a great love, why not enjoy the window dressings of life?
What do you like?


Job 33:28 He redeemed my soul from going down to the pit, and I will live to enjoy the light.
