8/17/2020 Preparation


Dear family,

 

                For some peace means boring.  I sometimes wonder if God introduced earth, humans, and apples because he was bored.  Yet, I look back to last week and am glad to have the main theme be peace.  No drama, not too exciting, just calm, loving interactions, and wonderful family time with minimal grumbles.

                I do find excitement and joy in referring people for business opportunities.  Seeing owners rejoice because the person I introduced them to was a great fit delights my soul.  Being referred also brings jubilant expectation.  How fun, someone thinks I am helpful!

                Adriel is happy to skateboard in the park with her friend.  I don’t know if she is enjoying the beautiful music Salem college-age kids are playing but I hope it registers and delights her soul.

                Seth is complying when I ask him to do good works (which God prepared in advance for him to do).  He washed our windows, pulled weeds, and put away dishes.  He does have a part-time job but he is home more than the rest of us so we have deemed that he has the privilege of helping out more than usual.  I am glad Seth complies even if there are some grumbles.  He did mention that he is working on a project.  It will be exciting to see what that means.

                Bobby had a social distance camp experience this week.  I enjoyed singing camp songs, listening to a great message, and talking through current issues with our teens.  Even though they cannot go to camp – for a couple of hours, the camp came to them.  It was lovely.

                Bobby cooked three amazing meals and we enjoyed them.  Leftovers are super.  The fridge is full.  We are blessed. 

                I fully enjoyed being a part of the rehearsal for our friends the Kuykendall & Pruett family.  Bobby is officiating.  The excitement and expectation are in the air.  Love is abundant families are coming together!  There are unity and joy. 

                May you find strength in the good works God has you to do.  May you be glad and rejoice when you are loved.  May you feel as blessed as you are and may you delight in flowers and butterflies.  Much love,
