Vacation Bible School

Today we started VBS at church.  Alli was the only student from our house. Everybody else participated by helping or teaching.  We had a really good time.  VBS will be over on Friday.

 I think Sarah was just having a good time. :)

 Anna helped this year with the nursery.  This was during snack time.

 Finding the hidden plant in the good soil was fun..  It came out and kept on coming! The kids were pretty excited.

When your heart (good soil) is ready to receive  the word, (seed) you grow Spiritually!  And when the winds (troubles) come, you won't be blown down as in the rocky soil,  because you have roots!  And you won't be choked by the weeds (cares of this world)...... and the seed won't fall away as on the path that is hard as rock.  You will produce FRUIT as in the fruit of the Spirit...Your branches will raise their hands and praise the Lord. :)
