VBS Prep

VBS Crafts ready to go

So, everyone around here in KidsZone is in full swing today as we wrap up details for VBS Preparation. The craft room is piled high in anticipation of 600 eager children, we have boxes of cups lined up for snacks, nametags everywhere, we are building a forest and a cool cave for the bible room, and, all that has to be left sitting, while we do our run through for Sunday morning, because as we always know, no matter what else to you do during the week, Sunday comes around every week, ready or not....and well, we choose to be as ready as we can be!



Anyway, back to VBS PREP, I keep thinking today about the feeding of the 5,000 in the bible. I keep thinking of how simple it was for Jesus. He just prayed over the loaves of bread, and the fish, and boom, there was enough food to feed 5,000 people....can you just imagine what that looked like??? We just read over the story and think wow, that was a pretty cool thing....but, on the other hand, have you ever tried to prepare to feed 5,000 people?

Now, we are NOT feeding 5,000 next week, but, all in all, we WILL serve over 3,500 snacks during the week, and we have prepared over 3,000 crafts for the week...and I can see how many hands that takes, and how much time that takes....so, it just makes me appreciate the miracle of that story so much more, and really makes me focus again on how big God is......

It is awesome to look around and just watch God at work. I think He is always busy doing things, but sometimes we fail to take notice of what He has done that day. It is a blessing to be where God is at work, and be a part of that. We are looking forward the children next week, and sharing God and God's love with them, during bible school. It is a great and crazy time all at once.
