Dear Family,
The
middle school group was so fun. They
truly delight in being together and I am blessed to be part. Game time had fast-paced foosball and cheers
for the winner of gutterball. Lesson
time had its own game but Bobby had to stipulate if there were to be prizes,
“Raise your hand if you will be OK if you don’t win candy in this game.” Most everyone raised their hand. I did see one smiling with no raised
hand. She eventually did but I loved the
kidding and shared a smile back.
The
High School group was hilarious this week.
Changing the rules of gutterball brought giggles, laughter, and general
merriment. Try throwing 4 of your own
balls to see what happens. No one
won. They almost forgot which balls were
theirs. I enjoyed the camaraderie and
joy. There was also throat singing to
help a player do better. It was
beautiful.
During
the lesson, Bobby mentioned that he had walked on water. The students responded that to walk on water,
“Jesus wore massive platforms.” If you
want to know about the time Bobby walked on water ask him. It’s a fun story.
Later
Bobby told a student, “Your dad gave me the best compliment this week. He called me young.” The student was unfazed, “Well, he’s just
stating facts. You are so much younger
than he is.” When the student found out
Bobby is his dad’s age this was funny.
“Oh, I thought you were in your mid 30’s.” The compliment just kept on going. This is opposed to the lady who asked Bobby if
he wanted the senior discount at a store lately.
Adriel
continues to text and let us know she is OK.
She did have her first car break-in while she wasn’t present. Welcome to Portland. I told her I wasn’t telling dad because he
wouldn’t sleep at night. She had already told him. He seems to be sleeping OK. She had it fixed on the same day and didn't even have to leave the office. How amazing.
Seth plugs
away at school and helped with dishes. I
enjoy his company and am glad he is willing to text me the shopping list
whenever I ask. I like having him at
home base.
Being
part of a family truly is a blessing, silliness, and all. May you feel as blessed as you are. May you find joy in sunshine and rain. May you be glad for all that God
provides. Love and hugs, Cristy
