Dear Family,
That Seth said he didn’t want to gather for his Birthday is
typical. When he heard Adriel might come,
he changed his mind and decided he wouldn’t mind gathering to see her. That warmed my heart. My parents want to visit us every couple of
months and enjoy picking Adriel up to bring her down. They help make our family complete. This is such a blessing! My heart was so full from seeing everyone on
Sunday that I could barely sleep even though I knew I needed to be at work 4
AM! We had such great conversation! So many hugs and so much love was
shared. I truly enjoy gathering and am
filled by being with family.
Bobby also blesses
us when he visits his family. Sadly, I
was working on Monday (an 11 hour day) but he had a fun visit with his mom and
brought back some fun things.
Tuesday
evening at Middle school group one person wanted to know if next weeks Summer
celebration allowed 5th grade students to attend. Bobby assured them that they were coming to
youth group now so, yes, they were invited.
I had to mention that next week they would be in 6th grade
because they graduated 5th.
This was answered with one word.
“Fact.”
I like how their jargon makes speech short and sweet.
Before the lesson
Bobby asked, “Anyone remember what we learned last week?” One person let us know they hadn’t been
listening by saying, “Are we talking about our weekends?”
Bobby
had a picture of someone with toilet paper streaming behind their heel and a
youth had to mention, “Like my grandma!”
Oh dear.
Truthfulness
was being taught and Bobby mentioned filters and trying to look like them. Rich said, “Filters are an abomination!” A student said, “Rich, you are cray, cray.” (I.e. Crazy).
Wednesday night we had several visitors join us in the high
school group. He did ask if they
remembered last weeks lesson and some people were spot on. Coveting and how we shouldn’t do that with
the example of David and Bathsheba. One
person said, “I’m going to covet another person’s wife now.” Yikes.
The top left corner of the lesson had a picture of He-man
and Bobby tested their 80’s knowledge by asking if they recognized the picture. One person said, ‘It’s a picture of you
pastor Bobby.” That was silly. Bobby was trying to give a hint – it’s from
my childhood memories! Another male
said, “I just have my little pony memories.”
I was blessed when Bobby gave me a ride to work and
back. He filled me in on our lives and I
enjoyed making plans with him.
Seth mentioned that he could have given me a ride a day too
late. That was sweet of him to say yes
even though it was late.
Friday night we enjoyed dinner and a game with Pastor Ed
and Leanne. The food was great and they
are wonderful company. Yay for
fellowship.
Bobby did make several meals this week and I enjoyed not
cooking 😊. I also am so glad to eat yummy food after a
full day of work.
I am glad Adriel lets me know she is still alive. I pray for her often and am so concerned
about her walking in Portland all alone.
Please pray with me that she makes wise choices, good friends and
continues to grow in her Love for God.
May you also make wise choices, good friends and grow in
your love for God 😊. May you feel as blessed as you are my
friends. Love, Cristy
