Dear Family,
Although
I was very tired this week, I feel blessed to have been included in the
seasonal program at the Department of Revenue.
That was an amazing opportunity and way more fun than I could have ever
expected. I learned a lot about myself, taxes,
and made new friends.
Monday
Bobby cooked Shepherds pie and that is still going strong for an amazing
leftovers meal. Thursday, he made chip
beef on toast, and I am glad he cooks. I
am continually, always glad he enjoys that process. We did watch, “Worst Cooks in America” and
had to laugh when someone said, “Cereal again.”
Hey – I eat it because I like it.
I’m not that bad in the kitchen.
I just don’t enjoy the work after 10 years of being a lunch lady.
Tuesday night we had 12 new
people from fifth grade. The excitement
and acceptance were delightful. Smaller
siblings were introduced. Young and old
enjoyed themselves. When Bobby announced
there would be a Root Beer float night this summer the crowd said, “Ohhhhh,”
loud enough that Bobby had to laugh and say, “This youth group even comes with
its own sound effects.” During lesson
time one of the sentences to fill in was, “A T _ _ _ _ life C _ _ _ _ _ _
_ story of their own. (John 4:39-42). See if you can guess what it was after
reading the passage (Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him
because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” So
when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he
stayed two days. And because of his words many more became believers. They said to the woman, “We no longer believe
just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know
that this man really is the Savior of the world.”) Here’s the hint Bobby gave. It’s cereal.
So here are the guesses, “Trix? Cheerios?” I found that funny. The answers are on the bottom PS.
During the High School group
lesson time Bobby had a game that included guessing movies from ‘three word’
quotes. When he said, “None Shall Pass”
someone guessed, “Lord of the Rings?”
“Let it go” was an easy one. “Do
it now!” Someone had to say, “My
parents.” Not a movie but, true
nonetheless.
Friday, I enjoyed going to bed
around 6PM because I was at work the next day at 4AM. I truly enjoy sleeping! Don’t we all need it? I must be into worms because I’m an early
bird.
Saturday, I had the best nap
because getting up at midnight is taxing.
I feel blessed to have a warm cozy home in this rainy weather. This is a luxury many do not have. May we be mindful of those without
homes. May we be kind and generous to
the Union Gospel Mission and other places that bring hope.
Much love, Cristy
PS. The answer is Total life Changing. Total is a cereal.
