Dear
Family,
I read a quote that sums up my
life. “Friendship is not a big thing
it’s a million little things.” I believe
my blessings are not big and grandiose except; salvation, our amazing country,
being married in the first place and health.
Those I’m taking for granted.
Wow, I’m so convicted by what I just wrote! May I never take any of those for
granted! OK, my overall blessings are
huge. This week's blessings I’ll count as icing on the top.
Seth unloads the groceries when I
ask him to. I love his strength and non-complaining attitude. He loves seeing what I bought. I also love that Seth continues to walk home
from school. He gets fresh outside air
and a work out.
I
was talking with Seth about the youth group lesson. He said, “Mom, that was last weeks
lesson.” Seth was right – Junior High (which
I go to) is a week behind high school
(which he goes to). Wow – Seth is
listening!
Seth drove I-5 North this week. He’s doing great. He has driven 25 hours now. I feel that a trip to Seattle and drivers Ed
in the summer will complete his training.
Yay Seth.
Parent-teacher
conferences are good. I am so glad to
meet or see the wonderful people that do a better job than I ever could
(Homeschooling – oh, can you imagine – that would be so so hard)! Each teacher is a specialist, Seth and Adriel
are beyond me in so many areas. Even
helping them with their homework I have to take half
an hour just to figure out what they have studied. Well, he, Adriel knows to go to her smart
friends.
I am sooooo glad for spring
break! Adriel and Seth can get
schoolwork done. I can clean, move
Christmas stuff under the house, get summer boxes out (gardening – different
towels and clothes), weed, spray for weeds, spray Copper, plant things and do
all that spring entails! Phew, I also
love getting together with friends to talk, walk and enjoy life!
Bobby leads a boys Bible study. I love that Seth is being led and doesn’t
give too much push back.
Bobby made some amazing and yummy
dishes this week. I still enjoy the
leftovers. He was excited to get a soda
machine into the youth room. One funny
side note. He put a random button on the
bottom that says, “Jesus’ choice.” This
spills out Root Beer or several other
items. Seth is happy because two girls
gave him the Root Beer they did not want.
I enjoy the theology talk. What
soda would Jesus choose?
Our friend from College gave Bobby a
puzzle. I was glad to finish it with
Bobby because it was taking up a space I use.
It was also fun because it reminded me of how much we enjoyed doing
puzzles when we were dating. The
teamwork aspect makes the finished product fun.
We do work well together on puzzles.
Adriel
is making an effort to hug me and I am glad for that. She even prayed with me one night and I love
it when she can take time to talk with God and I. Adriel was paid for house sitting but she told
me she will take me out to eat with that money because I helped. It is hard to dog and house sit when you have
103.4 temp. Poor girl.
Yes, I am very thankful for good
health, for salvation from my sins, for America, and marriage. Wow, we are so blessed to be free to worship
God without much persecution. I am so,
so grateful.
May you also find joy when you
reflect on God’s goodness. May you find
peace in your heart. May you delight in
the newness of spring! Love,
Cristy
