Dear family,
What a crazy time we are living
in. I believe God is bigger than a
Pandemic. I believe we will all die
sometime – the earth does have a 100% mortality rate. I am not scared right now but sometimes I am
sad. People at Walmart were subdued
Saturday. People at Cash and Carry were
ANGRY on Friday! Emotions must be
controlled. Thoughts must be held
captive. He is my hope, He is my
redeemer, and heaven is my final destination.
Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
Seth, on the other hand, will be
enjoying his extra week of spring break.
As we talked about world events somehow we came to the analogy of power
going out. Bobby asked what Seth would
do and Seth answered that he would play regular games. I became excited that maybe he would play
board games with us until Seth finished his sentence with, “Like
solitaire.”
Seth was not upset the other day
when he had to unlock the front door of the house without the porch light
on. I apologized anyway. He said, “It’s OK Mom. I am low maintenance.”
Bobby, Seth and I were watching
a show where the parents were insisting their teens needed to attend Prom to
socialize. Seth was saying how glad he
was that Bobby and I are not like that.
Bobby said, “I think we might make you though.” Seth’s response, “If you make me go to prom
I’ll go back to throwing fits.” (We will not make him suffer Prom.)
Bobby and I had a lovely evening
out at Chira’s restaurant. We had
several great walks this week. Bobby made
some amazing dinners. I enjoyed singing
with our home group and am glad Bobby is willing to lead.
At youth group, the youth fill
out a prayer request card and hand it in.
Bobby then passes them out and youth pray for each other. Sometimes the writing is cryptic. Sometimes the message is legible but not the
meaning. This Tuesday a youth was
praying, “It says here someone is excited for ‘two weeks’ but I don’t know what
is in two weeks. I’m guessing it’s about
the Corona Virus.”
Adriel remains sweet, loving and
barely present. She did agree to go out
with me for lunch. I enjoyed her
conversation and presence. She is my daughter;
independent, lovely and gracious.
As we enjoy (or don’t)
purposeful isolation may we find comfort in God’s arms. May our feelings find rest in God’s
truth. May our hearts be full of love
for those we know and may we reach out in appropriate ways. I would say, Hugs – but for now – elbow
bumps,
Cristy
