Dear Family,
I love peanut sauce.
Bobby made a dish around that Monday, and I have been happy for days
because of leftovers. YUM! We all have delighted every time we eat it. Bobby is such a great cook.
Middle school group was fun and entertaining. The youth were especially excited about root
beer floats. Fabulous!! What a great treat on a hot day. Thanks to those who give to the youth group
for snacks! The lesson was good for the
thinker. I was filling in blanks as
Bobby was starting. One youth was amazed
at how much I was pre-filling. I had to
comment that I married the guy and have a degree in Bible. Bobby asked a student to read Matthew
5:14-16. When the student started
talking about pigs Bobby said, “That’s Mark” and had him switch books in the
Bible. Again, complete amazement, “How
did he know that?”. Folks, if you want
to awe and inspire middle schoolers – know your Bible. That’s all it takes.
High school group had major intensity. One student throws the carpet ball so hard it
might make other balls jump up and attack.
Everyone knows to back away from the playing area when he throws. He met his match Wednesday night with a newer
young lady. So many exclamations of
awe! One person had to comment, “You
don’t have to throw the ball that hard!”
The rebuttal was, “This is the only way I know how to throw it.” Back came, “Who hurt you as a child? This is not good therapy.”
I am so glad Bobby doesn’t make me go to the various
concerts, games, graduations, and events he attends. My job is physical, and in the evenings, I need
to rest. Thank you all for understanding
if I don’t attend. I like going to bed
around 8 PM which is when some of these things start! Bobby
wakes up way later than I do so it works out for him to stay up late.
I do enjoy the times he stays home from events to be
with me. We relax together and it is
nice to sit, chat about our day, eat and pray together. Good time apart means even better time
together.
Youth Sunday was fantastic as usual. I enjoy the excitement youth generate. I also love taking pictures of our youth in action. Several favorite moments were two young men
smiling happily when their mother figure mentioned how proud she was of her
boys who were helping. The female who
bowed when there was clapping. And the
man who commented that the picture of Waldo was a picture of Bobby. How fun.
Seth is showing his abilities in so many ways. Not only is he self-driven to get his schoolwork
done but he is willing and able to ask for help when Calculus doesn’t make sense. I am impressed by his desire and ability to get
good grades, apply himself and do well.
He also gives me a hug when I ask for one, cleans
bathrooms and is a fun movie critic. The
new Tron was impressive, but the water and smoke effects were too expensive in
his eyes.
Adriel remains delightful and alive. She tried a random e-scooter which got her to
work in a record 7 minutes! She also was
entertained by a person with a pig on the metro. Pig on a leash in the METRO!! Ahhhhhhh ha ha ha ha ha. That’s too much.
May you delight in those who serve. May you also be glad to be of service
whenever you can. Much love,
Cristy
