Dear Family,
I feel truly blessed when family
comes to visit and celebrate with us. It
was fun, we celebrated Seth’s late Birthday, and
I would have celebrated Dad’s early Birthday, but
mom put Dad’s Birthday card away and made him wait. I remember that – they always were good about having us wait till the
proper time for celebration. I think
this is why I always like to send presents a little early – I want it to be
there on time, and I believe people will wait to open it. How silly of me.
I truly enjoyed walking with my
parents, enjoying their company and sharing our lives together. They are a great source of encouragement and
ice cream cake! Yum J! We also enjoyed going down memory lane. It was fun to laugh and enjoy our shared
history. I also enjoyed playing Uno – an
old family favorite.
What a wonderful celebration the Fourth of July is! Every year I truly enjoy the gathering we
have with neighborhood friends. Bobby cooked up a storm for this event. He made scalloped potatoes and raspberry
pie. It was delicious!
Bobby enjoyed a great trip to
Pamilia lake with some youth group kids. I am enjoying the pictures he brought
back. I love sharing a verse a day, so it’s nice he is permitting me to use some of those pictures. I am always glad when Bobby comes home from a
trip. It’s nice to know he is safe.
Speaking of photographic talent,
Seth has been sharing pictures with me for a while to prove he went on a daily
walk for exercise. I appreciated one of his pictures and asked permission
to share it. How fun! I think Seth enjoys my appreciation because he’s started using a more artistic approach
as he takes his pictures. He also permitted me to use his pictures.
A friend at the Fourth
celebration mentioned, “Oh, Look at Seth supervising the littles!” I had to run over and take a picture. How sweet that Seth was enjoying being with
the children for a bit.
Later he even
enjoyed the people his age enough to stay longer than Dad did. I hate it when we bring three cars to an
event that is walking distance, but I do
understand that it’s nice because we all come and go at different times.
Adriel came late to the Fourth
celebration because she had to work till 7:15 PM. She had started at 7:45 AM! Goodness!
One thing I have noticed is that Adriel goes to bed early on the days
she works early. I am proud of her work
ethic and dedication to do a good job.
I received in the mail the
prototype of a book Adriel, and I
made. I will treasure this book forever
because Adriel did the artwork. Adriel
is such a good artist! I am so blessed
that she did this! I’ll edit it soon and
then maybe even get it printed as God leads!
May you find peace in all that
you do. May God bless you and keep you,
may your heart be full and your smile bubble up from true joy. Hugs J
Cristy
I like the art and the title makes me curious
