We are having Vacation Bible School this week.  We have had small numbers like 9, 7, and 11 kids.  We have enjoyed the opportunity to really be with the kids and have conversations with them instead of just referee-ing or herding them. :-)  Our dear friend Mr. Tim is leading and doing a wonderful job as always.  The kids listen to him so well and he understands how to teach a full range of ages all at once.  Dear daughter's boyfriend is here for the week to help out, too.  So when the Preacher comes down and I come in with the older daycare kids there is a pretty sweet worker to kiddo ratio.

"Pray without kissing"    (the Bible word is ceasing so it was a good guess for a young reader!)

"Mr. Tim, can you come back and do VBS again before summer is over?"

"Mom,  I didn't want you to come back yet...."       (this little guy wanted to stay alot longer!)

One little girl was awfully bashful on Monday morning.  By Tuesday morning she ran into the opening rally and was happy to join in and smiled all day long.  She just needed to feel comfortable.

And my heart is full of love and joy as I see us having an impact on little hearts for eternity.  Well, GLORY!
