Dear Family,
Having you in my life is a blessing. People who accept and love are a boon to the
soul. I am thankful for you, my audience. Your responses are precious, and your love is
beyond what I could ask for.
Bobby
visited Adriel in Portland for lunch Monday.
I love getting their pictures and Bobby brought home some doughnuts that
were yummy. How fun to see them smiling.
Seth gave me his book, “Kindred” by Octavia Butler to
read. I was almost halfway thru one day
into it. My attention was captured, and
I am blessed by Seth’s generosity. This
book was from his college class. It talks
about racism and slavery which are subjects not to shy away from. I was more than entertained. I was educated.
Adriel answers my texts, and I am blessed by her being
alive. Hearing that Walmart is moving
out of Portland because of theft doesn’t make the town sound safe. Yikes!
But Adriel assures me she is fine, and I am glad.
Tuesday night
youth group had so much excitement the youth were jumping up and down. All this over a game that had to do with
candy, flour and possibly having to fetch candy out of flour with your
face. They sure are delightful.
Wednesday night High school group had Bobby rolling on
the ground laughing so hard. One of the youths
coughed as he was trying to get an M&M out of flower with his face. The plumes were a beautiful array of spray
that jump scared many with hops backward.
This
week Bobby cooked Cottage pie and it tasted fabulous. I am blessed by his love, cooking, and presence. Bobby mowed the lawn as much as the batteries
would let him this week and did a great job.
Seth
mowed the rest of the lawn and teased me about how hard it is (oh the agony). There was about 3 ft square to mow. He believes that the more we mow it the
faster it will grow. Sigh.
Family
blesses and so does reading. I enjoy
exploring new lands, hearing new ideas, and feeling what the author wants me to
feel. I am glad I have started picking
books up again. Reading the book, “Dream
Releasers” by Wayne Cordero gave me a vision for discipling youth. How exciting to help people grow in faith and
in maturity. I’ll be reaching out to a
couple people when the weather is better because I like walking as I talk. None of this sitting-down business. Either way, I was blessed by reading the book
and putting it in our church library.
May
you find joy in a good book. May you
delight in the spring flowers that are beginning to show. May you be glad for the changes God brings
into your life. Love and hugs, Cristy
Also, Bobby bought a game for camp. Giant Clue. When I asked what was different about the game he said, "It's for giants to play." He wouldn't let that go and I just had to laugh. Silly man.
