Dear family,
I
haven’t mentioned our kids lately and must apologize. I had a funny moment with Seth last week when
I was unloading groceries. My friend had
texted saying she wanted to pick me up early for our woman’s retreat trip. I mentioned that I was coming home and
expected to leave in a half an hour BUT if she wanted to help unload groceries,
I would love her company. She said she
was coming right over. When I got home,
I asked Seth to help unload groceries and he was in the middle of something, as
usual. I mentioned it was OK, my friend
was coming over to help. He untangled
himself from his computer work and was beginning to help when my friend came
in. Seth was curious. “Did she come over just to help unpack
groceries?” I said, “Yes” and he was a
bit confused. Then I said, “Nah, you can
take over.” And he did. It was fun to
see him pondering the situation.
Adriel
went up to the Seattle area twice last week to help my sister unpack. I was jealous of this but had other
plans. I do love my sister and nieces
and nephews. I am very grateful Adriel
not only represents our family well but motivates the younger girls to be
helpful and cooperative. Moving is so
stressful. I think I would be in the way
– but Adriel – she brings joy wherever she goes.
Middle
school youth group was very fun. During
game time Bobby had some fake vampire teeth.
He had one student read a tongue twister while another tried to guess
what they were saying. The teeth made
the words come out funny and it was great seeing them laugh at themselves.
Our
church encountered fire this week and everyone is glad this happened during the
day when the blaze was discovered within three minutes of the start. A light bulb decided to become a flame and
that was a bit on the crazy side.
Everyone was safe and that was a blessing for sure.
Wednesday
night activities for the entire church were cancelled so we didn’t have High School
group. This was sad but Bobby’s back was
hurting, and we wanted to avoid confusion.
It’s also a blessing that Bobby’s tweaked back is a muscle issue and not
a disk one. Yay! He seems to be on the mend, please pray for
him to get even better.
Our
church candy fest was full of fun. I
enjoy the costumes, candy and excitement when little people throw or toss a
stuffed pumpkin into a bowl. People in
general can be delightful. Giving people
candy, even more so.
May
you also enjoy time with others and all you encounter. Love and hugs, Cristy
