Last day of VBS. We didn't want to get up and get started because we knew it would be ending! We are having such a great time, and God is bringing such joy to the children - we can see it on their faces.
We handed out Morgan's stuffed animals today, but as a surprise. We stuffed them in their backpacks during the final session, so they didn't know they were getting them. We didn't get to watch them open their bags, but I did see one of the younger helpers carrying a stuffed dog in the top of her shirt, and another playfully came and grabbed it, and a chase ensued.
Lunch was beans and rice with beef, kind of like a vegetable soup to spread over the rice. Mmmmmm.
We had the afternoon free to just rest, reflect, and bond. Bob is truly a kid at heart, and has been playing pranks on the 20-year-olds, and they're playing right back. We were sitting on the veranda, and all of a sudden we were pelted with water balloons coming from the roof, and the 20's were behind the infiltration! So later on, Bob filled a bucket with water, snuck up to the roof, and got them.
It seems the joy we're bringing to the children is coming back upon us.
