Hi, all!
This week I'm leading the music at Vacation Bible School with my guitar. We're singing fun songs about being thankful, praising God, and the joy of God's creation. It's so much fun to see the children sing out and dance to the music.
Last Saturday at the Barnival I provided face painting for the little kids that came. They chose a design and sat quietly while I carefully dabbed paint on their soft cheeks. So simple, and yet so much fun!
It's been a long time since my sons were little children, and I'd almost forgotten the wonder and joy of children. When children are in a safe atmosphere, surrounded by love, they blossom like flowers. Children remind me how simple and good life is.
We've got a wonderful group of children at Vacation Bible School. As I wander around watching them at games, crafts, and lessons, I see them soaking up the message of God's love. Our teachers and leaders surround them with care and good things, and they respond with joy.
It renews my faith and makes me remember that we are all children of God. If we human beings could only treat each other like the children of God we are, what a better world it would be!
With the wonder of a child,
Bill
