Vacation Bible School...V-B-Yes!

  We had Vacation Bible School this week, and while it was exhausting, it was even more of a blessing.  Lizzie and Maggie had a wonderful group of ladies as their teachers in the Pre-K class, and I was able to share God's Word during lesson time with almost 100 precious kiddos each day. 
    Pictures from the week...

Closing Program Performance


Up close at the closing program

    During the closing program performance, Maggie and Lizzie had their giggle boxes turned on to high!  They were giggling and acting silly...notice Ms. Jeana bending down behind them, telling them to behave.  I told her that in the future, she should swat them on the bottom if they need it!  They did manage to get it together and sing, as well as "do the motions" to the songs.  I was in the audience, trying to give them the "evil eye" when they were being so silly.   Maggie told me later that she "saw you looking at us real mean."  I can think back a few years to when they stood on stage on the verge of tears, not singing, looking scared to death.  They've come a long way.  I'm so thankful for all the volunteers who work so tirelessly with our children to teach them God's Word and Ways. 

    Luke 18:16, "But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these."

Lizzie's Words Worth Repeating

  "Mom, we talk  A LOT, don't we?" 
(This was the first statement Lizzie said to me after we had just completed a five minute silence break...doesn't happen often, but every once in a while, my ears have just got to take a rest!)
