Dear Family,
Peace
is something we all crave, enjoy, and rest in.
Peace comes from right relationships and trusting in God. I am glad our family has peace most of the
time. Sometimes I might disturb that by
asking the family to clean bathrooms or mow the lawn but otherwise, all is
well.
I
enjoyed hearing happy laughter and conversation coming from Adriel’s room the
other day. It made me smile to know she
is having fun with friends.
As
I was in prayer group (zoom meeting) Adriel overheard, “Does anyone have a
praise?” She had to share her excitement
about her new position at work and that feels more like an adult. Her enthusiasm was lovely.
Seth
continues amuse. I received an e-mail
saying that opening a youth savings account would have a .5% rate! When I brought it up he resisted based on not
wanting to give out his information. “What
rate am I getting now? How do you know
they won’t just take the money?” He
scoffed at the e-mail’s validity. We had
to explain FDIC insurance, that I already have an account at this credit union
and that this is much better than he is getting at .02%. (Which I had to look up.) He finally agreed.
Bobby
cooked several wonderful meals this week.
I was willing to buy asparagus at $.88 a pound and he made it into a
meal. YUM!
Middle
School Youth group seems to be getting bigger and bigger. I am glad it’s in the gym because there would
be no other way to social distance. They
are happy to play volleyball, sit at big tables, and invite friends.
Our
homegroup continues to be a wonderful gathering. I enjoy the comradery and encouragement. One question was, “What is your influence in
helping people be closer to God?”
Several people didn’t think they had any but the rest of the group
figured it out for them.
May
you find joy in knowing others and meeting with them. May those you encounter feel the love you are
sending out. May God fill you
overflowing with peace, goodness, and joy.
Hugs,
Cristy
PS: Isn’t it great when people refer? I have a mom’s group and asked about the best
house painter. They referred me to
Captain America. I took a screenshot
and texted Bobby asking if I could call to get quotes. Then I posted in a Pokemon Go group about
something completely different accidentally using this image.
The POGO people had to know, “Who is Captian
America? What does he do?” I thought this was funny and hope you do as
well J
