Dear Family,
The beginning of a new
school year can bring excitement, dread, or both. I seriously hated college. God brought me thru, Bobby helped and without
my parents' funding, I wouldn’t have done it at all. After I graduated I asked my parents, “How
can I ever repay you?” They replied, “Pay
for your kids' college” and that was that.
Oh boy!
Adriel and Seth are both
attending community college now. It’s
not fun. I am proud they are continuing. I am blessed by scholarships, hard work, and
love. Even thru crazy COVID, they are
pressing on.
Seth has decided to use
the law guidelines for structuring his day.
Every two hours a 10-minute break with lunch in his 8 hour school day. Syllabus shock was a bit overwhelming. After we figured out making a list and self-scheduling,
he is willing to plug away. Yay! Adriel figured it out on her own the last
couple of years and I remember having to do that as well. The non-structure is quite horrid. Good thing we can self-structure.
Bobby visited his mom
and sister. I love that he is showing
our kids how to be good to us.
Youth group remains wholesome, fun, and rich in learning
about God. The kids are entertaining to
interact with.
Bobby made several amazing dinners this week. He continually enjoys planning and making
food. Yay! I enjoyed making caramel corn. Food can bring such joy – even the smell of
it. God knew what he was doing when he
gave us taste buds.
May you also enjoy the smells and food of fall. May your anticipation of the crisp air,
rustle of leaves and sweaters bring a smile to your face.
Much Love, Cristy
Thank you, Cristy, for your wonderful, sparkly, and wise comments. The family ! One unit, together, separate...nurturing and helping each other: no matter what befalls, through thick and thin; you are "handing the baton" in this designated race.
