I took the liberty to appropriate this "get to know your friends better" questionnaire for Christians; I changed some of the questions. Please feel free to use this among your own friends. Simply copy it, paste it where you want it, delete my answers and fill in your own. Then you can either post it on your own blog or send it in email to your own friends asking them to delete your answers and send it back with theirs. I just thought it would be fun to fill it out from my point of view for my readers. :-)
--------------------------
Pr 17:17 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
1. WHAT'S UNDER YOUR BED? Some shoes and a lot of dust, maybe a stray tissue or two. (Remember I’m trying not to be a perfectionist and who’s going to know, except the cat, right?) :-)
2. WHAT BOOKS ARE YOU READING NOW? Jeremiah. I’m reading several books. The latest addition to the pile is The Queen Mother by Lady Colin Campbell. It remains to be seen whether it’s worth keeping or not. :-)
3. EARLY TO BED OR NIGHT OWL? Prefer to go to bed early-ish, but usually we don’t manage it these days. Not usually late night owls, though.
4. WHAT DO YOU LOOK FORWARD TO DOING MOST IN THE KINGDOM or NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH? My imagination runs a little wild - Walking on the clouds at sunset, and growing a perfect garden.
5. FAVORITE HYMN(S)? I Could Not Do Without Thee, Jesus what A Friend for Sinners (sometimes called “Hallelujah, What A Savior”), I Must Tell Jesus...too many to name.
6. FAVORITE SMELL(S)? Freshly watered mint, a fig tree on a warm afternoon, fresh water lakes, rain, fresh mown hay, the mysterious sweet smell that blows through our yard here sometimes. (I’ve never figured out what it is.)
7. LEAST FAVORITE SMELL(S)? Jasmine blossoms (they make me extremely sick), rotten food, dirty diapers, and other nasties. Any strong perfume or fragrance – artificial or natural.

11. FAVORITE COLOR? Pink (but not "dusty" pink), coral, teal/turquois, rich reds, forest green, and lots of others...Hey, I'm graphics designer and photographer, I love color! :-)
12. FAVORITE BIBLE VERSE?
Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
13. FAVORITE TIME OF DAY? Morning. And whenever my husband comes home. :-)

26. WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD? Anxiety/panic attacks in the middle of the night.
27. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE HOBBY? Reading, writing, photography, sewing, piano, card making, gardening (well, in Texas gardening “ain’t so much” as it was in other places). Maybe I should say that having lots of hobbies is my hobby. ;-)
28. FAVORITE BIRD? Cardinals.
30. ANY PET YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU COULD? A red boxer and a friendly, sociable cat that liked to be cuddled. (lol)
Our not-so-sociable cat. :-)
This is great, I might have to use it :))))
ReplyDeleteSure! Have a go. :-)
DeleteI enjoyed reading your list! I would have the same answers on some too... I just had to get rid of some rotten food in containers today and then wash them... Definitely on the yuck list too! I am a chocolate girl.... Love Jane Austen... and am starting to wonder if I am allergic to the beautiful jasmines in our yard also! Thank you for sharing this fun questionnaire with us on the Art of Home-Making Mondays. I hope you have a lovely Sabbath :)
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting to hear what we have in common here. :-) I'm glad you enjoyed it.
DeleteWe have had a quiet weekend. I hope yours was good as well.
What a fun post, my friend :) I, too, love Cardinals as they are somewhat special to me. My precious Grandma Betty loved them :) Happy hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteCardinals are special to me too, as well as being beautiful. Glad the post was fun for you. :-)
