Some of My Favorite Words

Most everyone knows the song sung by Julie Andrews in the movie "Sound of Music"- "My Favorite Things."  Well, I'm not Julie Andrews & you won't see me singing this song on YouTube & I'm not Oprah giving away her favorite things, but I did come across some of my favorite words that I would love to share with you.
                                            ABOUT
     
                                                        ALMOST

                                                                       MIGHT 

                                                                                  APPROXIMATE 

                                                                                                                MAYBE

Why you might ask?
                 It is very simple; these words are not final.  You don't have to be concerned about saying it perfectly.  These words give me allowances  & I don't have to be definite.  I love that.  Some people have to be very detailed in what they say.  This way, I guess I can get off the hook a little bit.  I call it GRACE.

For instance: ABOUT, instead of I am, are.

                     ALMOST, instead of I will, it is.

                     MIGHT, instead of again, I will or am or for sure.

                     APPROXIMATE, instead of exact, or correct.

                     MAYBE, instead of for sure.

Now, don't get me wrong.  I love having a plan & definitely knowing the facts or details.  In fact, I usually can't function without an organized plan & schedule.  But, when I speak, that is a different matter.  Sometimes, not every time;  Oh, Oh, another general word; here I go again-general; I'm on a roll.  When I don't speak precisely it can get me in trouble at times.  I like having the freedom to use general terms.  Again, I call it GRACE.

Well, this might not make sense to you, but it makes some sense to me.

I'm grateful that God uses GRACE with me.  

Even though He calls me to be like Christ & to be holy 

because He is holy; He covers me with His GRACE.  

Thank you Lord.
