Dear
Family,
Going on week three of staying in
the house is interesting. We are taking
walks together and I like that. Bobby
remains good company. Thank goodness
none of us are turning on each other.
As we have been reflecting on God’s
power over death and love for us it is interesting to note – He will work all
of this out for the good of those who love him.
Looking into History I do see many bad times, dark ages, earthquakes,
hardships. Last Easter people were bombed. I am so thankful I am not in control of the
world. I trust God. Habakkuk 3:18 says, “17Though
the fig tree does not bud and no fruit is on the vines, though the olive crop
fails and the fields produce no food, though the sheep are cut off from the
fold and no cattle are in the stalls, 18yet I will exult in the LORD; I will
rejoice in the God of my
salvation! “ I eagerly
await till I meet Him face to face and I will hug Him! OH to hug you all! I miss hugging everyone.
Here are the blessings of this week –
or some interesting tidbits; things my kids said that made me laugh, times I
smiled and felt my heart warm. Have you
seen the flowers! Our world is exploding
with joy, it doesn’t care about the stay in place order. It calls out, walk in us, immerse yourself in
our beauty. And the governor did say we can
go outside and exercise. So, some of our
family have walked and tried skateboarding tricks.
Adriel was happy to clean her room
this week. She enjoys the finished
result with satisfaction. She also
replaced her car sticker – how grown up.
This is her car, she is taking care of maintenance, fees and paid for it
herself. Go Adriel!
Adriel has expressed how people
wearing masks creeps her out. It makes
our world feel dystopic. I’ll admit, it
is weird.
Adriel invited Bobby to go outside
to teach her how to skateboard. I
insisted on coming to take pictures. It
was fun to see them enjoy parks and try to Ollie. They are adorable!
Seth went outside this week to mow
the lawn. He also did dishes and is
looking into the new long-distance learning he will be doing. His teachers are great, on top of it and
encouraging. May the rest of this year
bring growth, learning and be over SOON!
Bobby and Seth are both enjoying the
throwback of Minecraft. I tried playing
for about 10 minutes. It was too boring
for me! They are playing with youth
group people so it is good for them to continue life together. How fun.
Youth group continues to meet on
Zoom. I enjoy participating. It will be so much better when we can be face
to face. I wonder how many will come
with excitement and joy simply because they can!
Seth played a game with the youth
group and he played so brilliantly I was impressed. Isn’t it fun when we see our children
shine? They, on the other hand, find us
embarrassing. Sometimes I hiss at the
cat if she is on the counter. Seth said,
“Every time you do that a bit of me dies inside.”
Seth also loved some pizza Bobby
bought for our family. He said, “The
best part of that pizza is how easy it is to pick the pineapple off.
Bobby cooked several amazing dishes
this week. The fun of social media is
that one of his friends cooked the same thing because of the inspirational food
pictures. Good times!
Bobby and the kids are a blessing to
live with. May you also bless your
family and find love, grace, and peace in your homes. Much love,
Cristy
