Dear Family,
We
have so much fun! Tuesday night youth
group Bobby mentioned that Rich isn’t the only one to become a grandpa this
month. . . . Our pastor’s daughter had their baby also. How neat.
This brought some excitement as one student shouted, “And you are a
grandpa too Bobby!” Another student
picked this up and said, “Yeah, Cristy, tell him the secret. Tell him the secret!” There were several consenting voices as the
crowd was stirred up. “Tell Him the
secret!” “Nooo, there is no
secret!” Neither of our children have
made any people yet. It sure was
exciting to the middle schoolers. They
had fun with that one. Later I enjoyed telling
Seth how the youth group talked about him.
I love his smile.
During
the announcements, Bobby mentioned we will have dinner and a movie. The movie is “Ratatouille”
and Bobby is planning on making some ratatouille
to go with the movie. Bobby mentioned he
felt he had to make the dish even though he doesn’t think anyone will eat
it. The students had to disagree! We will eat it! Bobby mentioned there are eggplants, squash,
and zucchini. The person next to me had
been insisting that she would eat the Ratatouille. The entire youth group still
said they would eat that. Then Bobby
said he would be making spaghetti, French bread, and salad. The person next to me did look at me and say,
“Oh, that sounds better, I don’t really like eggplant.”
Because
it’s free, Bobby tried a countdown program that has the timer on the bottom
right of the screen and then rabbit/easter jokes in the center. It had fake laughter, silly pictures, and dad
jokes. One student asked another, “What
is this?” The consensus, “Torture.”
One
prayer request was, “About the teacher strike.”
When another person prayed about it, the gist seemed to be that the
student was for a strike. After prayer,
the person who wrote it had to mention they were hoping the teachers didn’t
have to strike.
High
school group has much more testosterone.
I enjoy their banter and they are so excited to be together. I am glad there is laughter. The girls that do come are so sweet. We huddle together and are glad for each
other’s company.
Thursday
a lovely family with acres of land and a love for kittens stopped by. They will give the kittens a great home with
freedom to roam and hunt. I am excited
for the kittens to have a place to be all they were created to be.
Thursday
Bobby also made pizza. We enjoyed the
smells and taste. I had to chuckle when
Seth came downstairs. “You made
food?” Seth is a constant reminder that
we are blessed with a son. I truly love
his presence.
Bobby
and I enjoyed a date on Friday. We are
so blessed to eat well, enjoy each other’s company, and bask in the love God
has provided. Without Him, we are
nothing. With God, we function
amazingly.
May
you also feel God’s presence in your life.
May you be glad for His grace, love, provision, and peace. He is sovereign, Lord and the provider of all
good things. May this give you
confidence to share love with all you encounter. Hugs 😊
Cristy
