Here are my five favorite things from VBS this week...
1~the park where we hosted VBS... in one word... tranquil! Absolutely beautiful wooded lot with stone cabins, outdoor ampitheatre and a great view of the lake!
3~ Silly Songs with Eric and Ridley... sometimes it's the spontaneous things that turn out to be the most memorable... the most talked about... the most fun!
4~ teaching Bible class... there is nothing that thrills my soul more than teaching kids about God from His Word. We had a blast this week learning about the Children of Israel's exodus from Egypt. I think the kids enjoyed the Sword Drills more than anything... (definitely not the most flattering pictures of me... but that isn't the point, is it?)
5~ there's always one... one child who steals your heart when you least expect it... one child who connects... who "gets it"....
one child whom you hope you've made a difference in their life... or at least made their life memorable for five days...
This year... this VBS... this week... ... this is my one...
VBS is very draining. I haven’t helped in a few years, but oh, I remember the tiredness. How fun to host it in a park; never done that. Glad you had such a successful time sharing God’s words with the children. Such a blessing! Love the little boy. Glad he “got” it.
ReplyDeleteOh, there is nothing like VBS! What a good kind of tired!
ReplyDeleteI love the photos of the VBS location. I would like to go there myself.
How wonderful that you connected, and this child "got it." You won't know until eternity the fruits of this week!
Such a busy, draining week but such a rewarding one as well. Hope you have a very restful weekend this weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat setting for VBS. And bless you for being one of the VBS workers. I think it reaches so many kids in a way that is fun for them while still making a life-changing impact.
ReplyDeleteHow neat to have VBS in a park, and it looks like a perfect one for it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little boy -- he looks very much like he could be the younger brother of my son's friend, except that he doesn't have a younger brother, I don't think.
What a great spot for VBS!
ReplyDeleteThere's always one, isn't there? And it's always worth it for that one.
Happy weekend.
You're right about there always being one--and that makes it worth it! Thank you for giving your time and energy for the children!
ReplyDeleteNow, have a good restful weekend :)
