Dear Family,

 

               Because I forgot to ask for Mothers day off I enjoyed celebrating early.  Seth and I went out to eat and he bought me a present.  I’m so glad to enjoy time with him.  Seth is such great company and I enjoy hearing his take on life and the decisions he is making.  Because I had a bad dream about his campus housing situation in the coming future, I asked him to find Christian housing.  He said he wasn’t willing to do that because he wants to be a light in the world and wouldn’t be that effective if he surrounds himself with Christians only.  Although alarm bells are going off in my head (with great sound and visuals) I see his point.  Please pray with us as Seth is planning to go to in person college next fall.

               Bobby was sick enough to go home early after Sunday School on Sunday and cancel youth group on Tuesday.  He rallied Wednesday.  Youth group was fun as usual.  Bobby was trying to have people use one of his clip art illustrations to guess, “B _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Jesus is who he says he is.”  One person fixated on the dude with a dress 



and that was just funny.  Who do you think that man is?  What do you think the fill in the blank is?

               While reading John 11:2 one person mistakenly said that Jesus wiped his feet on her hair instead of the other way around.  That visual had me internally chuckling a while. 

               Adriel was going to go out to lunch with me Wednesday but heard about the cold that put dad out and asked if I had any symptoms.  My sore throat and headache had her cancel for the moment.  Saturday she came over and took us out to dinner.  That was a very sweet and special time.  I enjoy her company and am glad to reminisce about our lives together.

I must admit I had fun during the church service with the 2-6 year olds.  We talked about the good Samaritan and how we can be kind to each other.  I put up some pictures of children in various need (given by the curriculum).  We did a goodness march and walked to each picture.  My favorite was when we stopped at a picture of a little girl who had been crying.  She had her teddy bear dangling at her side and the other hand was up on her cheek wiping a tear away.  I asked how we can help this little girl and someone said, “Give her a Claritin.”   

               I did enjoy a gathering with the Duval family.  I am glad we are invited to their Birthday celebrations.  There is so much love in and between all involved.  May you also enjoy family and friends.  I wish you a lovely Mothers day as well. 

 

Much love, Cristy

 

The fill in the blank Is, “Believes” and the man is Peter – walking on water!  How fun!
