My Favorite Word



I love words. Especially the written word.

I find that I use certain words over and over.

But,my favorite word is

PRECIOUS.

When my baby sister was little she ended all her prayers with 

"In Jesus' precious name, Amen."


I taught all my children to pray that way. 

HIS name IS precious.

I know my daughter prays that way. And so does her husband. 

I'm not sure about my boys and their wives.


What is your favorite word?

And WHY?


And while we are on PRECIOUS.......

What a 'precious' post!

I think my favorite word is 'grace'. God shows His grace to us daily, and we should follow that example. That's one of the things I taught my boys...be ready to show grace and mercy to others who need it. All I would have to say to remind them was 'grace',,,and usually they would do the right thing!

I have to agree with Tonja, my favorite word is grace. I would not want to live a life without God's grace.

But I do agree she is precious!

I randomly found your blog and wanted to say Hello! My favorite word would have to be the name of "Jesus" There is such comfort, joy, and power in it...no other word like it!

I call her precious too! I think my favorite word is sweet and you seem to be a sweet grandma and friend and have very sweet grandchildren that you love sweetly!!

Love ya, COnnie

Just a little something from Judy said...

This is a great post! I think it is so perfect how you taught your children to pray and how to address the One who loves them the most.

As for this little one...everytime I see her picture...precious and adorable are the words that immediately pop up for me.

I need to think what my favorite word would be, although "undeserving" is the one that keeps coming to me.

LOVE, MERCY AND GRACE...GOD'S GRACE said...

I love the word precious, but one of my favs is "Blessings"....I can recall my daddy telling anyone he met "Blessings on you" and I too find myself saying that...our pastor also says "God Bless You"...

We are all so blessed by God!

Blessings!

I think I find out what words I use a lot by hearing the Grands and daycare kids parrot them. One on my daycare babies was called Mercy because the kids heard me say 'Oh Mercy' so much. They thought it was his name (o:
and the baby is precious!!!
