Tonight started our Vacation Bible School, and it appeared to be a resounding success!  The kids liked the new songs, the rec time, snack time, and of course learning about God’s word.  Tonight’s lesson taught the kids (according to my little friend Penny) that ‘God is with us all the time’.  I teach tomorrow night, and I am ‘the woman at the well’.  That lesson focuses on God loving us even when we are different.

I don’t know about you, but I am very glad about that statement.  Sometimes I feel VERY different (square peg, round hole!) and am glad that God doesn’t expect me to shove myself into that man-made hole – ouch!  VBS is such a blessing, and the children always take away a life lesson – even if they don’t realize it!  Thanks to all the teachers, planners, people who sent snacks (yes!), and parents who went out of their way at the end of their busy day to give their kids Jesus.  A blink in time – possibly the difference in eternity.

HAPPY VBS WEEK, HEMPFIELD KIDS!  GOD BLESS….   M
