We had a record number of children at VBS today, a total of 62. It was such a joy to know many of their names today, have them want to sing the songs and play games on the bus, and shout out scripture together. They really loved the Teddy bears we gave out today.
A message from Caleb...
Hi guys! So one day there was this little girl and she wasn't smiling at all. She looked sad and stuff, so I decided I would try to make her laugh. I spent like 15 minutes trying to cheer her up and make her laugh and nothing was working. I mean she smiled, like twice, but not for long. So later when I was playing tag with some of the boys, I was chasing one of them and she sorta waddles up behind me, tags me on the back and runs away as fast as she can with the cutest smile ever, giggling with a look of pure joy on her face. Sometimes the people you think weren't affected by you at all could be changed by just spending a little time on them. (Also, THE Mrs. Tracie Cordle may have known many of their names today, but I recognize them by their faces and shirts. I'm probably going to learn very few of the kids' names by Thursday.)
