Dear Family,

 

               The sunny weather has me feeling like it is summer!  Does it make you happy?  I enjoy the sun and am glad for sunscreen.  I am also glad for yummy food and regular days off.  I enjoy visiting with friends, walking and talking. 

               Tuesday night middle school group has so much excitement and chatter.  The fifth graders definitely add a layer of fresh perspective.  It is fun helping them learn to use the soda machine.  Apparently, that is an old school talent.

               One student told me that they noticed I was a “Ripe old age”.  They thought that was a funny saying they learned about in Bible class.  I mentioned, “I think that means I’m old enough to die.”  Their smiling reply was, “Uh huh.”

 When the lesson plan was almost over Bobby did mention he had a, “Fun surprise tonight.”  A student next to me asked,” Can we draw on my sister?”

            Both middle and High school group wanted to fill in this blank with Sacrifices.  I’ll put it out there like this. “Faithful in meeting together (by offering

S _ _ _ _ _ _ AND e - - - - - - - - - - .”  One person had to shout out, “And judgement.”  But that was just silly.  “That doesn’t even start with an E!”  We are supposed to encourage each other not judge each other.

            Someone mentioned Bobby should buy that Ferrari he wanted and another student had to chip in with, “A Farrari is too low budget for me.  I must ride in a helicopter.”

            I am so glad for the beautiful sun, shelter, amazing food and love.  The best of all is love.  I am glad for your love, my family and friends.  Thank you for your support, kindness and writing back 😊!

            Bobby mowed the lawn and made several dinners.  He even rescued me from pain.  I accidentally wore the wrong shoes to work!  He brought the right ones, and I felt so blessed and loved.  My hero!

            May you also find joy even when you make mistakes.  May you be kind to others, find grace and smile.  May God’s love pour into you and may you react by loving those around you. 

 

Hugs!  Cristy
