My child learned a ton at Vacation Bible School. I mean, I was actually under the impression that her daddy and I were on the road to teaching her a vast array of Biblical truths until last week. I suppose the format is palatable to a three, almost four year old. The way of teaching is very direct and it builds upon itself day to day over a five day period. She learned the basics of Christianity and the MOST important Biblical truths in that little bit of time. It has amazed us all.
Oh sure, to our credit, we have read her the stories, we've taught her to pray, we speak about Jesus and what we believe on an everyday basis, I think we have done a good job up to now. I am not ashamed of all we have done, but I am will be forever grateful to her teachers at VBS, the whole experience has given her a lifelong building block.
Everywhere we go, whether it is a restaurant, a store or to the park, my little munchkin speaks up and boldly tells everyone that Jesus died on a cross for our sins, that he rose again and that He is back up in heaven with God. Isn't that amazing. She isn't scared, shy, or intimidated by what other people might believe. She just knows the truth and isn't afraid to share.
Wow - that knocks this old mommy and daddy on their "you -know-whats!" If only we had that boldness - I wonder how our world would change?
Living Happily Ever After,
