What happened at VBS- Day 4

Well friends, today is going to be pretty short because we have been left hanging about what has been happening with our friend Daniel.

We learned that “When you are lonely, God is with you,” and Daniel was a very lonely fella today, and it appears that he wasn’t the only one.

The morning started off with Babs and Papa Lions and poor Babs was just so lonely, you know she doesn’t know many people here in Babylon! Papa Lions was pretty sure that Daniel had some similar issues when he was here too, but couldn’t quite remember all the details so we went to talk to Ash to find out more about this!

Turns out that Daniel was alone in a much scarier way than Babs was. Daniel was all alone in his worship of God…while everyone else was worshiping King Darius, Daniel was worshiping God, even though doing so was punishable by death! Ash told us that Daniel was punished for worshiping God by being thrown into the lions’ den to be eaten alive…and that was where the story ended! I sure hope that God can help poor Daniel!

In music the final touches were put on the song that we will be performing tomorrow. There are 4 songs that our groups have been working really hard to perfect. I gotta tell you, it sounds, and looks, pretty perfect to me!

Now what kind of VBS would we be running if we didn’t include a water games day? We broke out (and broke!) the old slip and slide and everybody had a grand old time getting soaked to the bone! I think that there may have been some damp children’s body prints on the back seats of their parent’s cars!

In crafts we were missing our regular craft lady extraordinaire and instead had to make do with a DPS who has more enthusiasm than crafting ability. In spite of this the children made some Babylawesome necklaces. We can wear these necklaces and be reminded that God is with us, even when we feel all alone!

So that was day 4! Tomorrow is sure to bring an awesome end to our exciting adventure!
