Dear Family,
It used to take two months to
prepare for a party. This time I
condensed it into two days. Wellllll,
actually, when I think of going through all our photos. That did take two months. Either way, I am so thankful for my
co-workers who did fine without me while I took some time off. They are a blessing and I trust them. They did great.
Bobby worked hard this week. He mowed the lawn, cooked, rearranged
furniture, and was an amazing host.
Bobby also cooked one dinner this week but told me I wouldn’t like
it. No problem there. I love cereal and peanut butter sandwiches.
Bobby volunteered at Adriel’s
graduation party. After an all-night
extravaganza, he plopped into bed at 5 A.M. excited and chatty. “I could have gone on all night. It was great.” I believe he is either crazy or amazingly
gifted. It probably takes both to work
with youth. Bobby is a true extrovert.
Bobby was overjoyed with your
participation at Adriel's Graduation party. Thank you all for
coming. He said, “That couldn’t have
been a better party.” It was nice to
have adults and high schoolers over.
When we have a Junior High party there is usually an element of running
so our house feels like a pinball machine.
Seth went to Adriel’s graduation. Adriel was surprised he left the house and
said so. His response, “They made me,”
just brought a knowing smile. Of course,
we did – I am glad we didn’t have to twist his arm. After the graduation ceremony, Seth and I
were both cold. On the walk home I held
his arm. I told him, “I hope you don’t
mind me being close, I’m cold.” He said
he was fine with it.
Adriel noticed and voiced appreciation
for how much work we put into her graduation party. Later she said – “I didn’t know how many
people would come! I was wondering why
you were making so much food.”
My parents are a true
blessing. I am so glad they came a day
early. They forced me to relax and enjoy
myself. They helped prepare for the
party. They warm my heart and bring me
joy. They are patient with my desire to
walk for hours. Without them, I would
not exist.
Sundays Sermon was spot on and
straight from God to me. I am so blessed
to sit under someone who listens to God, preaches from His word and helps me
feel conviction I am
blessed by Pastor Marcus.
.
May you also be blessed by God’s
messengers. May you listen, take it in
and respond. May you trust those around
you and may they be worthy of that trust.
Much love J
Cristy
I loved seeing your church and your house and celebrating a big step forward /a little bittersweet but mostly sweet/ (It ain’t easy saying goodbye to “your baby” )
