Reflection of the week at VBS

Wow! We really “Rocked the Dock” this week at VBS! This week we learned:

· God is with Us;
· God is Powerful;
· God Does What He Says He’ll Do;
· God Gives Us Life; and
· God Cares for Us.

…FEAR NOT!!!

Horizons VBS touches so many lives each year including the directors, volunteers, and especially the children. I truly feel blessed to be a part of such an amazing community of volunteers and wonderful children. At the beginning of the week, it is exciting to see all of the hard work and months of planning come together; however, the true ‘God Sighting’ is watching everyone become closer to one another through God’s love and most important—closer to God.

God is active in our lives everyday….we need to remind ourselves to take time out each day to appreciate all of his beauty, his miracles and challenge ourselves to share his love with others.

One great way to make this happen is to help our children keep an eye out for “God in action.” You will help them discover how they can be a God Sighting by showing Christ’s love.

· Find four powerful things God made.
· Look for someone showing God’s love at a sporting event.
· Take a long drink of cold water—and thank God for providing the water you need to stay alive.
· Place a fun treat or note on a family member’s pillow.
· Give a smile to someone who doesn’t have one.
· Share an extra-delicious chocolate chip cookie.
