Dear Family,
That
Adriel lives close enough to visit is such a blessing to me. And that I have time I can take is also
lovely. She bought me dinner so many
times this last couple of months (through her Christmas gift card) I am glad to
bring her out 😊. I am
glad to hear her heart and find out her plans.
Bobby
mowed the lawn and cooked amazing food this week. I am so blessed that he enjoys helping at
home. Sometimes we watch “Fear factor”
together. I commented that one person
was so thin, “She’s never had babies.”
Bobby said, well they don’t have 50-year-olds on the show. Then he started joking about 50-year-old fear
factor, “Cross the street! Get up in the
morning.” It made me laugh – we aren’t
that fearful.
Middle
School group had some fun silliness. We
talked about 1st Corinthians 13:4-7.
When Bobby got to patient he said, “So if a person in youth group
is doing really annoying things and we choose to be loving and patient that
would be good.” A student piped up with,
“I’m right here!” As though that comment
has been about them. It was funny the
way they said it so fast.
Several
students were talking amongst themselves after the paper was handed out and
Bobby was trying to teach but had to ask, “What are you doing? Trying to fill in the blanks early?” The student replied, “Of course.”
When
it came to love being hopeful someone mentioned, “I hope you will give
me your wallet.”
Wednesday
night had another fun handwriting blunder.
Someone prayed for their friends Barbarian solo. I was wondering if this was a dance or
song. Come to find out it was Baritone
solo. That makes more sense.
A
fun fill in the blank was “Selfless Love R----y S----- out! Several guesses were “Reckless, Selfish!” and
“Really Sucks” neither were right – it’s Really Stands out – Selfless love
really stands out.
1
Corinthians 13 may be read at weddings a lot but it was written for the
church. When Bobby came to “Not Envious”
he mentioned that if Troys dad got a new van Bobby might be a little
envious. One student blurted, “How would
you feel if it suddenly blew up?”
Another laughed with chagrin.
“What are you planning?!”
It
is good to have time to talk things out.
Getting a temporary second job will be stressful, and I am glad Bobby
decided to support me by giving me rides into town in the mornings.
Seth
is willing to give me a daily hug and I love his presence. He is
fun to chat with and I am glad he responds.
May
you also be glad for the interactions you have with those you encounter. May you have power to grasp how wide and long
and high and deep is the love of Christ.
Much love, Cristy
