Dear Family
Last
week was pleasant. It feels like there isn’t much to write about, but God
brought to mind several things.
Our
friend Adam preached a Sermon a while back that had Bobby featured in it. The first illustration had me completely
grossed out but by the end of the sermon I was crying so – that was neat. The interesting thing is that although I feel
I might have heard these stories – they were presented through Adam’s eyes, so
they took on new profound meaning.
And that’s how it is when we read the Bible or hear it through sermon as
well. If you would also like to listen
to the sermon it’s at https://branches.tv/messages?sapurl=LythY2FhL2xiL21zLyszMnBocWR6P2JyYW5kaW5nPXRydWUmZW1iZWQ9dHJ1ZSZyZWNlbnRSb3V0ZT1hcHAud2ViLWFwcC5saWJyYXJ5Lmxpc3QmcmVjZW50Um91dGVTbHVnPSUyQmZ0bjNoNGs=
(You will have to search for Adam
Pinkston’s name and if you want to skip the music it’s about a half an hour
in.)
The
youth group did go on a trip to get ice cream on Wednesday night. I enjoyed our chats. Watching people grow up is such an
honor. They start so small. Then they are taller than I am, and I love
that. Sometimes they are silly and
sometimes our talks are serious. How fun
to enjoy a deep conversation with someone you have known for years.
Adriel
and I enjoy talking on the phone. She plans
on moving soon so please pray for her wisdom as to where to move and with whom. The destination has been iffy, but I think
she may have found a friend of her roommate that will fit the bill – someone responsible. Yay!
Seth
has almost run out of housework because he has been so diligent AND because not
watering in the summer means less weeds.
The garden is manageable and that is an amazing blessing. Last week he cleaned cobwebs off outside
lights and did some weeding in the lawn.
I feel so blessed that he works hard and is helpful.
I
have felt motivated to add my latest book to the Shutterfly archives. It’s an expensive way to get a book printed
but because I want my books to be hard cover it’s worth it to me. I don’t have any visions of grandeur, desire
to travel the world selling my books or thoughts I might become famous any
more. The books did not sell themselves.
Even so I do want a way to get them printed for gifts and I only have two of
the latest book left. I’m on page three
and it’s pretty tedious. Please pray with
me that I stay motivated if God wants me to do this.
May
you also find strength in doing what you think He wants you to do. May you enjoy His blessings, His love, His
comfort and any AC you find. Love and
hugs, Cristy
