Dear Family,
Unexpected gifts bring surprise
joy. I loved finding out something is
appreciated which has been taken for granted years in the past. Maturity is thankfulness for the little
things. God’s word says to give
thanks in every circumstance, 1 Thessalonians 5:18. When we are purposeful about this it spreads
joy to others.
Adriel brought doughnuts
to us. When I thanked her she said it’s
the least she can do for using our washer and dryer. All right!
Adriel’s love and hugs remain delightful.
Seth continues to plug
away at school. I do like that he has
added some exercise to the week. Playing
VR raises his heart rate and it’s fun to see him enjoy. Seth did ask me to pray for his friend – I like
that he offered to pray and asked me to join in.
Bobby mowed the front
lawn and has done a lot of grocery shopping lately. I enjoy all he does in the kitchen.
Youth group continues to
be a wonderful place to delight in our future.
They are fun and fabulous.
Awana has started up
again and I am reminded of the power of John 3:16. It starts out sweet and about love but ends
with the thought of perishing. I helped
some second graders begin memorizing John 3:16 and the shock was
interesting. Wait? What?
Why would we perish – what are these words talking about?
Explaining our sin
problem and God’s solution to die for us is transformational. To live forgiven, free from sin, and with
purpose brings so much joy to my heart strangers have asked, “Why are you so
happy?” Pray with me that I might always
have an answer to that question.
May you also be prepared
with an answer to everyone who asks.
Like it says in Colossians 4:6 “Let your conversation be always full of
grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” It’s a dark world – may our light shine
bright.
Much Love,
Cristy
PS a picture of youth playing youth group games - I love it when they are smiling.
