Getting Pumped for VBS!

Last night at my daughters’ gymnastics class I wore my Horizons VBS volunteer shirt. I was caught off guard when a lady came up and told me that she thought she recognized me.

She said, “You were at Horizons VBS weren’t you? That is our FAVORITE VBS!”

She and her children were invited by one of her friends that attends our church and she was going through a difficult time in her life. Someone close to her had just passed away. She was hesitant to come.

She said, “I reluctantly brought the kids, but was so thankful that they had a blast and it was just what I needed!”

Thanks to all of the volunteers that do what they do to really make a difference in others lives. It really made me think about the people we come in contact with every day. We really do not know what someone else is going through and one interaction you have with them can make a HUGE impact on their lives! She told me that her children cannot wait to come back this year! She also asked if the “two guys” would be back J !

I loved the conversation, and was thankful that God gives us a glimpse of the impact that we are making in Lincoln, NE! Thanks Horizons!
