Herbie at VBS

Allie was too young to attend, but we would go early to pick up Herbie each day so she could dance in the background. The last day, she went to be up front with her brother!

We are proud parents, but this was a sweet point of the week. On the last day, we were walking to the car and the "teenager" helper/teacher of Herbie's class came running out. Here Herbie, as she slipped him a litte hand written note. And here is what it said:

"Dear Herbie, I had loads of fun with you over VBS week. You are such a cutie. Thanks for being the leader of the rope for me. I hope we can see each other again soon. Stay close to Jesus, Blythe (crew leader)

Herbie, you are one special boy who is going to do amazing things for God. We are so proud of you as you grow in your walk with our awesome and amazing God!

Being in ministry with Dave for many years and putting on a VBS each year, you really don't fully understand the impact until it is your own child coming home and singing the songs, reciting the verses, and telling the stories from the Bible. And to hear him say to his little sister - "don't be afraid Allie - Jesus is with us and will protect us. If you get hurt, he will even help heal you." Thank you to every VBS teacher out there - you are making a difference one child at a time......this time, it is our son Herbie!
