  Dear family,

               Bobby cracks me up.  He was describing how each person gets one candy at the Middle school Youth Group.  “You are one person, when you come in and find a treat under your chair it is for you.  If you move chairs and think, ‘Oh, look, the Lord has provided!’  No, you just get one, that’s how it works here.  You are one person no matter how many times you change chairs.”

               Later when we were going to do game time Bobby mentioned, “We are going to do something dangerous.”  The person next to me said, “Like eating, expired yogurt?” No, that is not what we did, we used bows and foam tipped arrows to knock down cups.  This is dangerous in Bobby’s mind.  We could poke an eye out.

               The High school group had some fun answers for Bobby’s fill in the blanks.  Bobby chose to talk about Jacob and Rachel’s courtship which brought up a lot of things wrong with the world.  Either way Bobby wanted to highlight their similarities as stated in Genesis 29:1-13.  Jacob finds someone from his r_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ with a similar o _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.  What made me laugh was when someone said, “They had a similar Orthodontist?”  You can look below to find the right answers.

               After talking about how Laban switched Leah for Rachel, Bobby asked if the youth could find anything wrong with this situation.  One student had to say, “If it’s OK to marry your cousin then why not have more than one wife?”  Such a yikes situation – all of it.  Let’s not mention that finding the wrong person in your bed the morning after your wedding wouldn’t be a crazy feeling.

               Thursday brought excitement and joy with the snow.  Bobby also felt high in demand with someone asking for him at 8:45 AM.  Bobby was excited to walk to someone’s house, board games in tow on a sled behind him.  I enjoyed taking pictures.

               Hopefully you might have enjoyed a day or two of snow.  I finished a book, enjoyed relaxing more and didn’t feel a need to go out in the snow at all.  We even enjoyed Valentines Day together.  How fun.  May you delight in God’s mighty hand with snow, sleet, hail.  May the heavens declare the glory of God, and may we marvel and delight in all He has for us.

               Love and hugs, Cristy

 

 

The right answers were Jacob finds someone from his relatives with a similar occupation (not orthodontist).
