Dear Family,
How does it happen that my
daughter has turned 17 so fast? How is
it that we have lived in Salem 11 years and seems like we just got here? How does the time fly so fast? I am so glad it does. I may have some angst over the late night's teens keep, but if they make a mess, they
clean it. In the nursery this Sunday I
changed my first diaper in years. It
wasn’t that bad, but I would much rather
have teens. They may stay up late, but I don’t have to at all. They
prefer I go to bed early.
Adriel had a great Birthday
week. Her friends gave her presents, and so did we.
Grandma and Grandpa Leng came over to take her out for lunch and then
ice cream. Bobby cooked her favorite
meal and gave her flowers. Bobby, Adriel
and her special friend went out to a movie together, and everyone lived to tell about it. Who could ask for more?
This week I was blessed because
the kids did weeds without me asking. I
know Bobby told them to and that was very nice.
Bobby also cooked another meal,
this time my favorite. Yum! It’s nice when he is glad I’m awake at
night. Sometimes my naps help me stay
awake even after youth group. I like
feeling welcome and loved.
Seth is adorable because of how
much he loves Ripley. He holds her and
pets her while she purrs. He even broke
open a box because he said her head was hanging out wrong. To me,
it’s very sweet how he does caring things for our kitty.
I love it that the kids pray
with me at night. The best is the daily
hug that comes after. Seth and Adriel
are sweet, and I love them.
I also love seeing Seth in the sound booth at church. He is the one who gets the e-mails, so I never know when he will be there, but Seth
knows. I feel a heartwarming surprise
every time he’s serving God.
As you face decisions, plans and life may you find God’s guiding hand to
be a wonderful reminder of how good it is to let go of control. May you rejoice in the new flowers and may
you enjoy all the beauty God is bringing forth.
Much Love J
Cristy
