July 14

The kiddos will all be volunteering in various capacities at Vacation Bible School this coming week, and this morning they stuck around after church to help set up.

They've all been campers in the past, so becoming volunteers once they aged out of the program was a given in my mind, but it's always been their choice to decide whether or not they wanted to do that.

And as a parent, I feel so blessed that they've always chosen to take part. To know that they're willing to love on the kids who come and to walk with them as they learn about Jesus --rather than spending the waning days of their summer vacation playing video games or taking part in baseball games or hanging out with friends-- is an amazing gift.
