Wow, we are in to the third day of Vacation Bible School at the North Campus of Second Baptist Church. This is my second time to work with Pre-Schoolers under the direction of Ms. Brenda Schafer since I retired.
I have a whole new group of kids but I have to admit, I was expecting to see some from last year and to date have not. I don't know why I thought I would, they're a year older and have moved on. I have some really special children all around the age of 4. I forgot what that was like.
I taugh 4 year olds when I first came to this church in the late 90's. Mainly because I wanted to be a part of teaching my son. He is now a senior. I often see those kids of the 90's because alot of them go to his school and they are all grown.
I have one child in my current class that is a hoot. He is great. I think everyone has one of these. He's "too cool" to do the kiddie stuff yet still a "little boy." He had me in stitches today....He showed up with a mustache painted on! I loved it. Our theme is Rockadilly so alot of people are in cowboy boots, bandanas, cowboy hats and such attire so he decided to wear his western shirt, jeans, boots and mustache.
What I love most about this week is having the opportunity to share the Word of God with these little ones. I say that because I hope that in some way, something we say this week sticks with those children as it has with me. I can remember being taught a Bible verse that has stuck with me all these years and I can remember who my teacher was that taught it to me.
I pray that these children will learn about God and leave this week completely filled with the knowledge of his love. We can wash away painted on mustaches, but the Word of God stays in our hearts forever!
Tomorrow....on to Rockadilly!
Jesus said "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdon of heaven belongs to such as these. Matthew 19:14
