Dear Family,
Winning
the heart of a child can feel like one of the most precious gifts. Sunday I was in the nursery waiting for the
little ones to come. Our first ‘customer’
Regan came in, happily walked in the door, opened her arms to me and snuggled
right in. How precious! She knows me from weeks past and has always
loved me. This Sunday she was especially
cuddly. I also enjoyed a party this
Saturday where I chatted with co-workers at a 1-year-olds party. I enjoyed winning the heart of Paisley. That
she reached out to be held felt lovely indeed.
I find it a rare treat to have little people cuddles.
I enjoyed
some drama this weekend. Bobby and I
were taking a walk in the park when we saw the Kravitz family. They are so full of life and fun! The kids are pre-school and grade school
age. Bobby was teasing Elsie by taking
her scooter. Her dad yelled out, “Hey,
that man is stealing your scooter!” Bobby
began to ride away on the ‘stolen’ goods.
He got about 15 feet away when a small boy Kindergarten age ran up and
attacked him. Bobby thought it was big
brother so he hammed it up and fell with exaggerated moans. Meanwhile, the stranger’s parents were
alarmed. They had no clue why their
little boy had attacked. The boy gave Elsie her scooter back and several of us
clapped for the little one and he raised his arms in the sky. He was so brave
Bobby did an amazing and wonderful
job on youth Sunday. The youth did greeting,
ushering, giving testimonies, singing, playing instruments, child care, and
Seth helped in the sound booth. Bobby
preached a great sermon, led the youth well and was so glad to be done.
Bobby also cooked a yummy dinner. Seth said, “Dad should cook more of this, it’s
great,” as he was eating leftovers. I
also enjoyed playing games with Bobby and the Fenn’s. How fun to enjoy friends, have time to
compete and be silly.
Adriel is growing up and
contemplating how she will go about graduating from WOU. She opened her own checking account and got
her own debit card. Good for her! Pray for wisdom as she contemplates starting
out at Chemeketa Community College or not.
Adriel continues to draw one drawing a week and I love her artistic
ability. She is amazing! Cute but true. Adriel thanked me for having extra shampoo on
hand. She did not have to go to the
store, just storage. I am also glad
Adriel went to a Birthday party for her friend DJ on Saturday. I said I would go but I was having so much
fun at my co-worker's party I did miss DJ’s.
Adriel and Bobby represented our family well.
Seth continues to hone his verses.
He is saying three at a time. Wow. He mowed the lawn and continues to walk
home. I am proud of how he does not mind
helping out in the sound booth. He’s a
great guy, my Seth.
May you enjoy the activities God has
for you. May you be glad what you do is
His will. May you love those you
encounter and may you earn the hearts you work hard to love.
Hugs,
Cristy
