Dear family,
Happy Spring! I
love how the cherry blossoms decided to make it in time for the festival. It
seems the world is bursting with color and new life. Speaking of, I went to a
birthday for a two-year-old and half the women there were large with child. It
was exciting to see that people are willing to bring new ones into the world.
Bobby and I don’t miss that stage of life, but it was fun to be around everyone
for a while. And it was really fun to give a book written by me and illustrated
(mostly) by Adriel. I delight in that.
Bobby had to
share with me that he dreamed half the sanctuary collapsed. I replied, “Oh
yeah? I dreamed our cat would only eat Cheetos.
She refused to eat cat food anymore.” We agreed dreams are weird and
left it at that.
Other
lovely and fun occurrences. The middle school group was sitting with boys on
one end and girls far on the other side of the room. Bobby said, “Why don’t you mingle.” This was
met with incredulity. “Why would we do that? Boys have cooties and might wipe
their boogers on us.”
I
have this habit of enjoying talking with Adriel then putting a bit of news into
the prayer requests that are handed in and passed out to pray about. After
Bobby heard, “Adriel was in Hawaii and for safe travels back home,” He
mentioned, “I don’t like hearing news about my daughter that way.” A High
schooler got it, “Yeah, but now we know who the favorite parent is.”
Sunday
morning prayer requests had many family members sick. Bobby was concerned and
said, “Agh, I’m surrounded by sick people!” One student had to pipe in with, “I
caught my brother blowing his nose! Only sick people blow their noses.”
A
funny thing about spring break is that Bobby is keeping, “Dinner and a movie
night” a secret. Youth want to know so badly! One even said, “What if someone
has allergies?” Bobby asked, “What allergies?” The student went on to say,
“Shrimp.” Bobby assured them dinner would not include shrimp. The student
insisted, “But, my friend is allergic . . . to . . . . the unknown.” Bobby said
that friend could bring their own dinner.
I
delight in our youth and in our kids. Some friends from work came over Friday
evening and commented how polite Seth was and how clean our house was. I am so
blessed for both of those facts. It takes work and God gave me just enough to
do my part in cleaning, but he also provided a son and husband who do their
part as well.
May
you continue to be productive in society. May you find strength in knowing our
Lord and may you find delight in how Spring is popping out of the ground all
around us.
Love and Hugs, Cristy
