Dear family,
I
appreciate your love, hugs, and responses.
You are the reason I still write.
Right? Feeling heard is
precious, so thank you.
I
must admit, I felt overwhelmed early this week and I am thankful Seth was there
to hold me while I cried and Bobby prayed with me when I didn’t feel I had the resources to deal with things that were coming at me. Sometimes life gets overwhelming! I am thankful for people who are praying for
us and that is you. Thank you. Seth also said he would pray and I am
thankful for that. So in light of all
those feelings and more, I am now only working one job. It was fun to think I could do it all, but I
don’t have that much energy in me. Drat,
I’m close to 50 years old. Oh well.
Tuesday
evening, Middle school group was fun. One
person had been asking for a free t-shirt for a while so Bobby brought him back
one from camp. While the young man was
holding it Bobby had to mention that the shirt had been on the ground in the
bathroom, wet. This kind of brought an
ick feeling in all of us. The youth
asked, “You washed it right?” I know
Bobby isn’t a horrible person so I knew Bobby did but he had to laugh
and tease a little before he mentioned that yes. He washed it.
Bobby did have to mention that Rich picked up the shirt at camp when it
was still wet from the bathroom and asked, “Why is this wet?” When Bobby mentioned its origins Rich was
like, “Why am I holding this?” Humor
sometimes has a sick-to-your-gut feeling with it.
Later
in the gym, Bobby had everyone use their left hand to hit wiffle balls. One person pushed their left arm inside their
shirt to use their right. Bobby had to
mention. “If you don’t have a left arm, you aren’t playing the game.” The cheater immediately grew an arm. Amazing!
I
am enjoying decorating my desk space and bought a 5 ft teddy bear. The bear was too big to bring on a bicycle in
the rain. Wednesday, I asked Bobby to
bring it for me and he did. I enjoyed
having him see my cubicle and meet my coworkers. It was fun to show him off.
High
school group also had good times. I
wasn’t fast enough to write them down though.
How sad. I enjoy laughing and
want to share with you but if I don’t write things down immediately, they are
gone.
I
was so glad to rest on Thursday and Friday evening. I needed time to recuperate from too many
feelings and just too much life coming at me.
I feel much better now. Bobby did
cook those nights and I am so blessed that he loves to make yummy food!
May
you also delight when others put forth effort for you. May you enjoy God’s love, presence, and beauty
that surrounds us. Hugs,
Cristy
