Dear family,
I’m
so glad for whimsy. Our youth are fun, being included is special. When the
middle school group prays many of them continue their school practice of
holding pinkies and it’s very sweet when a pinky is extended to me. Then at the
end there is an almost secret handshake style of ending. A fist to the left palm
then to the other person’s right palm. Simple, not too hard to learn – but super
fun, nevertheless. I am honored to take part in a tradition that dates back (I
do not know how long) at Western Christian.
I
must also admit I truly enjoyed the games during youth group. Bobby had pool
noodles, 6 small party cups per person, a cat face mask and Mission Impossible
music. Whimsy and laughing at the audaciousness of it all. The students circled.
Where they able to get a cup without being whacked? Well, for the most part
yes. Was it fun to do and watch? Definitely.
The
high school girls didn’t get into the game much because they were busy making hair
decorations. It was fun when it was time to go. They became very focused on
finishing for their friend. How sweet.
Adriel
was delightful on the phone. She is recovering from a trip with late nights,
excited encouraging yelling and the sort. Adriel is like her dad. She knows how
to have fun, and I am glad for her.
Sunday
school had some great interactions. When Bobby told the youth we will be gone
next Sunday and they would miss us one person said, “Weeeeelll” and I thought
that was funny. They might or may not miss us. The group is wonderful either
way. When I announced our trip was to celebrate a 30-year marriage they clapped
and that was fun.
There is a white board in the Sunday school room and a person drew this bean room. I don’t quite know what it represents but everyone had questions. My favorite question was. “Which one do you think I am?” A friend said, “I'm thinking maybe the small pea.” For some reason, this seemed to be the funniest thing any of us had heard in a long while. I enjoy laughter.
May
you also delight in laughing. May the time you spend with people be filled with
joy and fun. May some whimsy also come your way and may you enjoy it. If you
want to find some just watch the YouTube Video “Just for laughs head massage”
video. It’s less than two minutes and makes me belly laugh (Free Head Massages in
the Mall.. or so you Think!).
Love and hugs,
Cristy
