Dear Family,
We
are so blessed when it rains. Spring
means the growth of flowers, food, and life. All feel the excitement of new birth as we are
happy to see that plants made it thru the winter yet again.
Youth
group continues to be a fun place to learn about God and to hear more
funnies. Because Rich stole a lollypop Bobby
asked, “Who thinks Rich is a stealer?
Raise your hand if you think Rich is a stealer.” Several people raised their hands. One youth said to another, “Raise your hand
proud, I don’t know what it means either.”
When
Bobby asked, “What do we call a relationship?” (for one of the blanks he was
looking for the word “Friend” but a youth had to shoot back with), “Complicated.”
When
someone tried to trick another the person said, “I have eaten so many carrots, I
see thru your techniques.” I love how
punny people can be.
I enjoy learning new board games
with Bobby. Because we see things
opposite there are always two ways to interpret the rules. Sometimes this leads to games we simply
cannot play together. Most of the time
it gives Bobby time to think about what the house rules (Bobby rules) will be
for games before he introduces them to youth group or other friends and
families.
Seth cooked pizza for dinner one evening. When I thanked him. He smiled and said,
“Oh, you think that was for you?” I have
to laugh at his wit. I am glad he is
becoming self-sufficient.
Seth picked weeds from inside the lawn and I am
blessed because he has time when I do not.
Seth put away the silverware and I like that he is helpful. I am also glad Seth is 18 because now he
counts if we are having work done. Is
there an adult in the house? Yes, there
is.
When
we asked Seth if he was going to vote now that he is 18 he said he would rather
not. We fought him on this stating Civic
Duty and that people have fought for the right to vote. His reasoning is this. I don’t want to research something, take sides
and then fight other people about something I don’t care about. I truly understand what he is saying. I agree that I don’t want to fight or take
sides on many issues. I would just like
to get along with people.
May
you also find ways to get along in your life.
May you find relationships are more important than issues. May you love deeply and from your heart. Hugs,
Cristy
