Dear Family,

 

                Oh to hug you!  My heart bursts with joy at the thought of those I love!  If you are reading this you are loved!  We are so blessed to have shelter, food, peace, and grace.  Yes, let us focus on the good and let the bad fall away.  Let us find joy in each other, even if we may not be together.  Let us be glad for salvation, our sins are forgiven.  Let us rejoice and be glad for today is a new day, a gift from God.

                This week Bobby cooked several times and we are blessed.  He continues to provide for us, love us, and make the bed.  He longs for normalcy at church and is concerned that all summer activities will be changed but his hope is on our LORD and in Him, we know all things will work out for the good.

                I enjoyed several walks with Bobby and am so glad we continue to get along.  Life is truly peaceful when the kids are not needy (like the younger years).  I am very glad we are not doing diapers anymore.

                Adriel is happy to eat our food and very happy to go hiking or skateboarding with friends.  She remains sweet, lovely, and kind.  I always love her hugs.  She gets her college work done, works hard, and plays well.

                Seth mowed the lawn, helps with dishes and everyone does their laundry.  He is content.  He feels the pain of the world and yet remains steady and fine.  I know this because he wrote a letter to the family saying he doesn’t want gifts for his upcoming Birthday.  He wants our family to donate to people in need.  Oh, my heart!

                Seth is fine with memorizing verses for a camp that might not happen.  He also enjoys virtual youth group.  His laughter and camaraderie lift my spirits.  Seth helps out with church service, what a blessing.

                Watching the new Star Wars movie with Seth was a blast!  The movie was saying, “Princess Leia is going to use all the power she has to save Rey.”  Seth’s comment, “So... not much.”  I wish I could remember to write all his humor down.  Even so, he is great company.

                Mother’s day was wonderful.  We were all together, we walked a little, ate some great food, had a stranger take our picture, and enjoyed some time together.

                May you find the people you love, love you back.  May your joy about and may you bring joy to others along your way.  Much Love,
