6/2/24

 

Dear Family,

 

          My favorite meals don’t come from a restaurant.  My favorites are made with love and from Bobby’s good sense and choices.  I am glad every time he cooks even when I don’t like the food.  This comes from years of me cooking and not enjoying that.

          Tuesday night at Middle School group I had to laugh when Bobby told the story of David and Bathsheba.  When Bobby asked if anyone knew Bathsheba’s husband’s name someone asked, “Uterus?”  Uriah does start with a U.  Later, Bobby was trying to say that even someone who was a man after God’s own heart could make mistakes.  When Bobby asked, “What was David known as?”  Someone said, “A pervert.” 

          Wednesday night had so much laughter I enjoyed myself thoroughly.  The lesson time brought out so many fun interactions.  Bobby brought up a hypothetical situation.  “Say Josh is in a boat and it’s sinking like the titanic. . . “  Another student was excited about this, “Yes!”  Oh dear!  So Josh says, “If it’s my time to go, it’s my time to go.”  Another student asked, “Number two?”  Yikes – it was just too much!

          Bobby also mentioned, “If I start keying my name into a certain persons car . . “ This was stopped by, “I do have pepper spray you know.”  The student went on, “And a baton, my dad is an ex-cop.”  After such mentions of more ways the student wouldn’t mind stopping Bobby’s harassment Bobby decided he will stay far away from this student and his vehicles.

          Our students are quick witted and fun.  They are learning about the Bible as well as natural consequences to making poor decisions.  Bobby citing examples  of bad decisions is one way to think out choices to make the right ones.

Time for relaxation is key to success when it comes to being productive.  It sounds counterintuitive but, without giving our bodies rest we will burn out and that is not fun!  Also, I hate being sore!  I am glad Bobby and I took some time to be at the beach, enjoy each others company and celebrate 28 years of marriage.  We had fun walking, eating and relaxing.

          Seth doesn’t mind us being gone at all.  He watched over the cat and house.  I am glad Seth is good at that.  He is so sweet.  He even brought home a card from church for our anniversary from friends. 

          Adriel has been responsive to my calls and texts.  I love her so much and am glad she is in our lives. 

          May you also be glad for those you are in contact with.  May your interactions deepen your love, faith and joy.  May you be filled with God’s love and may it pour out onto those you encounter.  Love and hugs,

 

Cristy
