Sounds like I’m surfing, right? Well I am, kind of.
It’s Vacation Bible School (VBS) week at my church. Tonight was night four of five. The theme: SonSurf Beach Bash. Yes, it is as fun as it sounds. There’s been a different focus each evening. Meet Up, Look Up, Join Up, Meet Up and Fire Up with/to Jesus. We’ve had a great turnout of 30 kids total. My main job has been to tell the Bible story each night. There were two presentations; one per age group. It was fun to get creative with the story–and great to see the kids learning.
Being with other kids for an entire week is truly a parental aid. There are things I’ve observed over the course of the week that made me reflect on how I parent my girls. So, while all the kids were having a blast, this Momma was busy learning too, from a different angle. I think that as a parent, it’s important to not attend these events with a closed mind. You really should never walk around as though you already know everything there is to know about anything. The way life changes, there is always something new to be learned; something that you can be taught. If you don’t keep stretching and learning, then you’ll start receding and dying, I think.
Anyhoo, now for the promised video. This gives you an idea of how catchy the music has been this week.
