Dear Family,
Christmas
festivities make life so fun and our hearts feel so full! Bobby had the Youth group split up and sing
Carols to some seniors from our church on Wednesday. The people in my group saw clapping, tears of
joy and received hugs and thanks. How
fun to gather back at the church with full hearts for hot cocoa and general
merriment.
Bobby
then had a Christmas party on Friday where the youth group decorated cookies,
greeted for prizes, and had a gift exchange with God-sanctioned stealing (but
only 3 times per present). I enjoyed the
abundance of laughter and so much fun!
July
thoughts at Christmas time? You
bet! Bobby woke up thinking about a new camp
game. He’s planning camp already and had
to write down his new ideas. His goal is
for every personality to have fun – even the people that don’t want to play
games.
Bobby
and I watched, “It’s a wonderful life” which we believe is the best movie made
ever even though the special effects were sub-par. Seth was in the room and watched some of
it. I then mentioned that another very
good movie is “The Sound of Music” but I was sad the kids wouldn’t watch with
me because there are no special effects.
Bobby said it wasn’t that good of a movie. Seth laughed and said he will watch it with
me – in heaven.
Seth is
done with this semester’s school and I noticed he is still on his
computer. I wanted to know his grades
and he said, “I don’t know, because I don’t care.” This had me concerned so I made him look them
up. He’s getting mostly A’s. Phew!
He asked me if I wanted him to care more and I was saying, “Yes!” even
with the grades being good. Yikes.
“That
game where you can’t walk up the stairs.”
Every time Seth says this he can’t help but smile very large. There is something about feeling superior. Seth can now play a game on his computer with
Bobby on the x-box. Apparently, it’s OK
to shoot things if they are not human (they are aliens).
Seth
asked me to buy more toothbrush heads because his are out. I asked what kind and wanted to know if he
had any packaging. None. I told him it was OK because I had it in my
e-bay order history. This was alarming
to Seth, “I hate it when you order used things!” I told him half the things on eBay are
new. He could only say, “That’s what
they saaaaaaay,” with doubt.
Adriel
told me I made her day on Monday when I delivered lunch and laundry. That warmed my heart. Then she told me she had been sick and got
better. No call to mom at all! I wanted to make sure she knew when to call the
hospital if she got too sick. She looked
her symptoms up on Web MD.
Goodness! She had me feeling
jealous because she made cookies and I didn’t have any time in my schedule to
make some. After lunch she had me stay a
little longer to introduce me to people and keep chatting. I think she likes me!
May you
find strength in knowing how loved you are.
May the sacrifices God and others have made bring joy to your heart. May you choose thankfulness in all your
thoughts. Much love,
Cristy
PS Adriel gave me permission to share this picture of her and her boyfriend snowboarding last weekend. They sure are cute.
