Final Thoughts on VBS

Posted in Christian Life, and Military Life

This week at VBS was a roller-coaster of up and down moments.  We were blessed with the opportunity to reach out to our kids from ages 4 to 11.  We got to know the kids on a more personal level, and we were sad to see the week end.  Yes, it was very tiring, but it was a blessing. (Thank you for all of the prayers. They helped!!!!) On Friday night, I watched 2 young boys grow.  One little one came out of his shell and joined in with the activities.  The other wrote a card that said, “I love…

You are the Salt of the Earth

Posted in Christian Life, and Photography

This week at VBS D and I have been quite challenged with some of the kids in our group.  We spend so much time focusing on keeping them in line that we’re concerned with whether or not they are learning anything.  We walk away completely spent each evening.  Yet, there are moments here and there where we can see a little glimmer of hope coming from these particular kids.  It is in these moments that we can really see that we are the salt and light here.  We have to keep going even when we feel that we’ve reached our…
