Vacation Bible School

For a  full time homeschooling mom, VBS is quite a blessing.  It is also a time where the kids get a sense of school.  The waking up each morning with a place to go where there are other kids their age to learn with.

This is such a great experience for them.  They have so much fun!  They get up, do their chores and are ready with their bibles in hand each morning.  Ready on time so we aren’t late,   I can’t ask for much more than that. 

I asked them what they like about Vacation Bible School and these are their answers.

Quote from my 6 year old boy: “I love that it’s 3 hours and it’s so fun!”

Quote from my 9 year old daughter: “I like hat it’s Christian, the crafts, games, snacks, and Bible Teacher!”

Quote from my 12 year old son: “That I get to play pingpong.  The games and the snacks are also good!”

Now those sound like pretty funny answers, but I love the honesty.  Since it is Christian based they learn scripture, and have God loving teachers.  They get to play tons of fun competitive games which usually include water.  They get to do crafts they never get to do at home.

It is 3 hours of fun!  I am so happy for them this week.  I get a little time to myself which isn’t as full filling this time as I was hoping.  It is only Tuesday, though.

My almost 2 year old is a lot of work, and I am feeling old this week.  Why does every thing seem so hard at times.  So I am not feeling that rejuvenation I was hoping for from a short break from them each day.

But you know what?… They are getting rejuvenated.

So which is more important?  I think my kids getting a break from our day to day and getting their own rejuvenation with the Lord by their side is equally important!

So yeah for them!  I will keep on ‘keepin’ on this week just for the sake of my lovely children!
