Dear Family,
This week
brought weird feelings! While driving past
the Capital Saturday afternoon I saw a bunch of flags, heard yelling, and saw
signs about counting votes. That was
interesting. I felt their energy.
Saturday at
dusk I was driving the same area but this time I saw police lights and a bunch
of police holding onto a truck – 9 on each side. I thought that was weird and wondered what
kind of accident happened. Then I looked
at the other side of the street and saw a bunch of people dressed in dark
clothing. This brought chills. OH, they are expecting riots. Stores boarded up their glass windows and
were now boarding up the entryways.
Salem was expecting an attack. I
looked it up just now online. People
were arrested on Saturday. What crazy
times we live in.
At home we have
peace. I was thrilled that Bobby went
onto the roof to scrape away growing moss.
Bobby also made chicken pot pie this week and it is still delicious. I enjoy Bobby’s cuddles and coziness. I am now driving for instacart and am taking
Monday off to be with Bobby. How
wonderful that it doesn’t feel like I am intruding. He remains loving even though we see each
other more than ever before.
Bobby enjoys
leading the youth group and bought a game called nine square. It was warmly received and several youths had
“Nine square” as a praise in their praise and prayer requests. How fun!
Adriel is sweet
and joined us at a friend's Birthday party.
It was wonderful to celebrate in a small way. Adriel also had a friend over Sunday
night. Such sweet people – Adriel has
amazing choices when it comes to the company she keeps.
Seth was given
an award last week. He downplayed it. Later
I read the text. Seth is the Tech Pro of
the Month – the explanation is that “He has proven himself very capable in
editing many different projects in Digital Arts. He is consistently seeking to help with
whatever work needs to be done. His
ability to work with a variety of programs gives his expertise a higher value
during the distance learning time. Seth
also adds his own creative aspects to a project as is helpful.” Well, bowl me over with a feather J I
am tickled pink.
I also noticed
Seth is kind to me. When I was little my
dad did aerobics for about a week. My
sister and I hid behind the couch, watched him, and laughed hysterically. Watching dad do aerobics not only made me
laugh then but it took about 2 months of doing a class in college for me not to
giggle the whole class through. For some
reason jumping around was the funniest thing ever. I have been doing aerobics of some form since
before the kids were born. They don’t
usually see me because everyone is sleeping but my schedule is different now
and Seth has been in the room when I am working out. I find it very kind of him to simply ignore
me like nothing is going on. This is much
nicer than my sister and I were to my poor father.
As you ponder
your kindness factor please remember we are all just trying to make it through
this year. May you find peace as you
pray your worries away. May you find
strength as you follow God and his will.
May your love be great and may it cover a multitude of bad. May you forgive, be forgiven, and find the strength
to carry on! Love and hugs,
Cristy
