Dear Family,
The Christmas season brings so much extra work it is hard
to focus on why we do all our tasks.
Purposefully slowing down to remember God’s love, gift, sacrifice, and
care is sooo needed! I added an extra
Bible plan on the app not only for the Christmas badge but because I believe it
helps with that choice to focus on God at this time of celebration. I can’t recommend the Bible app enough. It’s super fabulous.
Tuesday night the middle school group sang Christmas
carols to elderly from our church. It
was enjoyable to wish people, “Merry Christmas!” and to feel cheerful.
Wednesday night
the High schoolers sang Christmas carols, and I enjoyed reminiscing on the way
about how I knew some of them from preschool days. I remember distinctly that I decided not to
argue with one student about his belief that chicken nuggets didn’t come from
chickens. That wasn’t what he was
going to learn that day. At 15 years of age,
he decided to joke with me and say, “I actually still believe that.” I delight in knowing and having fun with our
youth.
Thursday Bobby cooked amazing chicken Broccoli
casserole. I enjoyed the leftovers for
days. We are so filled by my Bobby, and
he knows the way to our hearts.
Saturday, Bobby and I went to a friend’s wedding. The person announced a bouquet toss and Bobby
was hungry enough to ask, “Did he say tater tots?” Loved it!
This brought back so many
memories and created a desire in us to find out who caught the bouquet at our
wedding. We also wondered if our wedding
video was still in VHS only. When we got
home, we found DVD’s and watched our wedding, reception, and a cute video of
Seth in Cubbies. We were super happy and
gushy inside afterwards. How fun! Adriel’s call was just after those videos, so
we shared our feelings and I’m sure she smiled on the other end knowing how
glad we are about such great memories.
May you also enjoy reminiscing, sharing great times and
finding love in your heart from past and present. May your joy be deep and spread to all around
you. Much love,
Cristy
