Dear Family,
Purposeful focus on the good is
a blessing in its self. I need this
daily and weekly habit. Without choosing
to peer in the darkness and find gems I would be like Atreyu’s horse in the
movie “The Never Ending Story.” Great
movie by the way.
Looking back at the week I see a
meal we ate as a family. All of us were
together. We enjoyed each other’s
company and Bobby’s delicious cooking.
Seth has the best wisecracks. Sometimes we don’t know he is listening and
then out comes something relevant and hilarious. I believe Seth was watching a show with
us. Two people were considering going
back to the place they ran from. One was
saying that if the other went back she would be lonely. Seth quips, “Yeah, but you’re weird.”
Adriel and Bobby took a day and
a half to hike over 20 miles. They do
this! They were excited to be in nature
and had great talks. I am glad for
them. I am very glad they are safely
home.
Adriel cleaned her room so thoroughly
she donated a car full. She moved
furniture to the middle and is painting her walls. I enjoyed seeing her friends come over to
help. I also enjoyed spending some time
helping her.
Bobby was kind enough to walk with
me even though he has his steps in for the week. I am blessed to have a hubby that loves me
and cares for me.
We are blessed with a house over our heads and a cat that comes back over
and over again. (She has a cat
door.)
Every meal is a blessing. Every
breath is a gift.
Every smile shows love and makes our hearts lift.
Walk outside, experience fresh air.
Feel light breeze ruffle your hair.
Know that God is alive, still in control.
He’s with us today and makes our hearts full.
Lift your lips, make a smile, feel your heart soar.
Pass it on, give some joy, now do it some more.
Did you know that changing your expression changes your mood? So I’ll do that. For real, just smile, hold it, and feel your
heart lift. Weird but true. It works.
May you feel God’s hug and mine too.
Much Love,
Cristy VanKleek
