Yesterday was the second day of VBS and Madelyn did so much better. During Bible story the kids were asked to say "popcorn" prayers, just quick and simple prayers. Well our group of six girls range from two to four years old, so as you can imagine they were not really offering many prayers. I asked Madelyn, what do you give thanks for and she said " I thank you for the food". It was so cute. At the end of the evening when we all gathered back up, she was starting to show signs of a fit brewing. So I picked her up and carried her to the back. I was considering leaving as she was already starting to throw a fit and Rachel came and took her out of my arms and off they went. Do you know that Madelyn was perfect for her. Rachel went up the stage to help pass out prizes and Madelyn was up there helping.
The VBS theme is "The Big Apple" NYC.
The Little Helper
On the way into work this morning I was listening to a Christian station and they were talking about David and Goliath. This is one of the more familiar stories, I think. So as I drove I thought about it. I am David and my grief is Goliath. I can choose to fear Goliath and run and hide, or I can face it and let my faith sustain me. The Lord is our personal faith trainer. Always pushing us to grow in faith, to strengthen our faith. In doing this you have to go through struggles and hardships. You can either lean into your faith and trust in the Lord or you can turn from Him. I choose to lean into Him. "With God all things are possible" Matthew 19:26.
