Dear Family,
Forgiveness of others is a gift to us. Being Thankful even in hard times also frees
our minds from angst. Those two choices bring peace that passes
understanding. Holding a grudge is a
heavy burden to bear and so is holding onto control – which we don’t have
anyway. The only control we have is
control of our reactions and that is even super hard to grasp. Living free with arms open is such a
blessing.
This week Bobby visited his mom and brought back
gifts. How delightful to see Bobby model
being a good son 😊.
Middle School group continues to be filled with outpourings
of love, excitement to be together and joy radiating out of every person. Song time had so much exuberance Bobby had to
remind the youth of an old but good rule.
“You are allowed to scream,
only if your arm is severed and you are bleeding out.” A youth had to say, “Hang on, let me try
it,” while they pretended to sever an arm by putting their hand back inside the
sleeve.
High School group was full of sweet
music, delightful teens, and camaraderie.
I like that the youth stood up for Julie Andrews. Bobby doesn’t like Mary Poppins or Chitty
Chitty Bang Bang. He calls them bad
movies! This is because he prefers special
effects and Science Fiction. He did say
he would watch a remake of Mary Poppins if Mary Poppins was played by Yondu. I declared that would be horrible. “No one would entrust their children to Yondu.” Someone in the crowd asked Bobby if he would
like to have Yondu take care of his kids and Bobby said, “Yes, at least
I would know they are safe.”
I enjoyed reading a devotional with
Bobby, setting marriage goals, and praying for our family. I like that we go to God together. It deepens our love and friendship.
Bobby cooked several amazing meals
this week and I am always glad I don’t have that chore. I don’t care about what we eat, just that
there is food. He’s the best! We also enjoyed a date this week and I am
glad to have his company as we do life together.
Seth remains adorable.
He watches humor and laughs. I
love hearing his delight. He cleaned his
shower this week but ran out of one cleaning solution and had to add
another. His chagrin at mixing the two
ended up with, “If I die from cleaning my shower it’s your fault.”
May you find strength in knowing you are loved by God and
me. May your love overflow to all you
encounter. Hugs, Cristy
