Dear Family,
Does this new normal find you
well? I find joy in knowing that time
flies. Yesterday it seemed like my
children were little. Two days ago
Adriel turned 19. Thank you, friends and
family, who sang to her on Zoom and facetime.
She said this Birthday was better than her 18th. She enjoyed the calls, well wishes, and
outpouring of love. She thanked me for
making pancakes and decorating. She thanked
Bobby for his special attention and she felt loved. Yay!
I feel blessed when Adriel takes time to chat with me. She is fun and is figuring life out. I found it interesting that she makes a master
list for all college assignments by the date due. I also did that in college! Chagrined Adriel said, “I thought I was original.” Little does she know my mother also made a
master list. Personality comes out in
the most fascinating ways. Being cut
from the same cloth may be disappointing.
“Oh no, I’m turning into my mother.”
Bobby and I did enjoy a nice walk this week. I gave up social distancing from him outside
because it was too depressing. We are
close in our home. I am not concerned
about how it looks outside for now.
I enjoyed playing a new Lord of the Rings board game with Bobby. It is always fun to explore new things even
if they aren’t that exciting. I gave the
board game to a family that is excited about it. Not
all games are a good fit for our family.
Thursday brought excitement. Bobby
brought home Toilet paper. He was
shopping for other things but saw TP available.
Ta Daaaaaaa!!!!
Seth remains sweet and understanding.
He was willing to give a hug when he saw I was down. I appreciate my steady Seth. He said, “I’m sleeping well now, it only took
a global pandemic.” To me, this shows
who the true introverts are. It also
shows that Seth is not worried about the future. Wow.
The youth group continues to meet on Zoom. I enjoy seeing their faces. Bobby still gives a wonderful relevant
message. I am enjoying the silly games
we play after the message as well.
Listening to Seth laugh and enjoy warmed my heart.
Seth said, “I hope Golden Crown doesn’t go out of business.” We reacted with, “Awww,” and smiles. Then he said, “I’m not just saying that
because I like their food. I like the
people too.” What a blessing to hear
Seth’s heart reach out in compassion. We
had to order some of their food!
Golden Crown is our family’s favorite restaurant in Salem. I’ll have to look into how I can help their
business grow.
May you find joy in the blessing of salvation, love, peace, and beauty
all around us. May your faith grow and
may God hold you in his arms. Much love,
