“O Thou who art the all pervading glory of the world, we bless Thee for the power of beauty to gladden our hearts.
We praise Thee that even the least of us may feel a thrill of the creative joy when we give form and substance to our thoughts and, beholding our handiwork, find it good and fair. “.

"Come, and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.
I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD woud not have listened and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God, Who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!" Psalm 66:16-20

Hello all !

I'm still around........just not posting much.  I think that busy summer days do that to alot of us.  4th evening of Vacation Bible School went well. 

I went there around 4 p.m. today, to help bag the cotton candy for tonight's snack.  That was interesting !  The machine was loud and fibrous bits of spun sugar were flying through the air, coating the walls and filling the slits in the airconditioner vent !  I'm glad that I thought ahead and wore a cap.  The air in the room looked like a fog after an hour of operating the machine, and I started to wonder what that was doing to my lungs !  I had trouble drawing a good breath, so I went outside for a breather.

But, OH ! the cotton candy was GOOD !  And it was definitely well-received by the kids.  It was so funny to see 3 or 4 year-olds licking cotton candy, having it for the first time, and trying to figure out what in the world it was. 

Tomorrow night is pizza night.  I've spent 2 nights in the 4th grade class, and I had no idea how rowdy boys of that age can be.  One asked me, "what are you doing in here anyway?" ! ! !

Hmmmmmmmm......but he didn't run me off !        I've got two grandsons , so I'd better figure out how to relate more to boys.  I don't have any trouble with Christopher, my great-nephew.......I suspect that these boys just haven't had as much Christian love as some.   Well, that's what we're there for, right?

    Yes, 4th grade boys can be very rowdy! Good for you to stand firm and not let him run you off! I taught for many years and saw a LOT of kids in need of love and affirmation (but I must admit, some were easier to love than others). You may be blessing some of those kids in ways you don't even realize.

    what a servant's heart you have for these children! we got the same kind of attitude from our boys on the inner city team...and now they come up and give me hugs and talk to me!

    stick with it, God is good and rewards us!
