Try this song to the tune of "My Favorite Things" (Sound of Music):
Good return visits and good Bible studies;
fruitful long hours with my service buddies;
magazine routes that are flourishing well;
people that tell me that I'm doing swell.
Doughnuts and coffee and hot chocolate steaming;
Placed all my literature--- think that I'm dreaming!
People who welcome the good news I bring;
These are a few of my favorite things.
When the dog bites,
When the door slams,
When I'm told "get lost!"
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so cross.
Big service meetings and publishers plenty;
Finding sheeplike ones although they're not many;
Cars that keep running though' tied up with string;
Pioneer school and the joy that it brings.
Blue skies and sunshine although it is our fate
to live in the cloudiest spot in the whole state;
Getting my time in on days that it rained;
People who help me when I'm feeling drained.
When Im so broke
that it's no joke;
When I'm unemployed;
I simply remember my favorite things
and then I'm not so annoyed.
Drafts up our dresses and holes in our mittens.
Ice on our boots and our toes get frost bitten.
Householders screaming abusively loud.
Please tell me there's just one sheep in this crowd.
When I feel ill
and the groups nil;
When it's wet and gray;
I simply remember my favorite things
and then I stay out all day.
God's word the Bible and books that help know it;
People who love God and study to show it;
buying hot lunch and a gas tank that's full;
Helping our sisters with babies that drool.
Young ones who witness with us after school time;
Old ones who come out though' they are past their prime;
Telling the world of our glorious king;
These are a few of my favorite things.....
