Dear Family,
With the beautiful rain comes the joy that we have a
roof over our heads, dry beds to sleep in, and central heating. Jesus did not live with most of these luxuries! May we never take them for granted.
Adriel has brought the same friend over several
times. I think she likes us! We had a great talk about the fruit of the
spirit, church, and faith. Adriel
continues to work and is now officially full time. Adriel is also in school full time. She is surviving this year and does a happy
dance every so often. Adriel is darling
and wonderful. She cleaned the bathrooms
this week and they are sparkling clean!
Seth remains content to be home, volunteer, and work at
church. He remains kind and sweet.
Bobby led a wonderful lesson for the youth group two times. Seth and Bobby both mentioned how they
enjoyed it. Rich cheated twice on the
game. Seth said, “He was disqualified 5
minutes into it.” Thankfulness was the
theme. Bobby had 10 sticky notes for
people to write on. The goal was to
write, run, and stick it on the wall, run back make another and run to the wall
again. Whoever was the fastest won. There was joy, excitement, and a beautiful
sticky note collage of things we are thankful for in the end. This is the secret to feeling
good. Remembering what we are thankful
for, getting up, letting everyone know, and remembering again.
Homegroup was delightful. Bobby was very happy to provide some snacks. He remains enamored with smoking things and
made bacon-wrapped peanut butter Oreos.
It was too much for me but other people liked them.
Bobby remains tickled about the Mandalorian. I must watch without multi-tasking. I usually triple task – but I love Bobby so I
endure. The show is good. I am sure themes are interwoven with themes
that I don’t care to understand. I just
like cute baby Yoda.
Bobby cooked bean soup and we ate as a family once this
week. It was very yummy. Leftovers are a blessing.
Bobby visited his mom and brought back blankets and
towels. You know, I don’t buy things
unless we are in need so hers (now ours) are much nicer and fluffier. The family agreed to let go of some of our
older things. On Facebook, someone asked
West Salem Moms, “What is something you NEED but can’t afford right now?” Someone said a 2x jacket, another person clothes
for her little one, and someone else said, “Blankets.” What a blessing to pass on! She was happy, I am happy, all is well. Thanks, Mom J!
May your blessings contain more for later. May you be glad for the roof and warmth God
has given you. May you find strength
from above. Much love,
Cristy
