Coming to a Close

For starters, this is another in simplynrae's Messiah series. The Suffering is the portrayal of Christ before He takes up the cross. The original is proudly displayed in her father's office; a gift for Father's Day. Here we see a print she has digitally enhanced (just to try it out). This seemed a fitting image to place with today's post.

This week is coming to a close; VBS is almost over. As is the way, we will be presenting the Gospel to the children one more time today. Please pray for these precious young souls as our time with them comes to an end. It is our hope that the seeds planted this week will stick with them for a lifetime and that families will come to know our Lord through it all.

Blessings abounded: offering money was collected for The House on the Rock children's home in Guatemala, our attendance numbers grew daily, canned goods were collected for our food pantry which serves the needs of the community, we all spent more time on our knees each day!

It has been hard work, and the throws of everyday life have done their best to keep us from pressing on to the finish. Yet, here we are, at the end, so joyful to have made it through. God had a plan all along and His grace has been sufficient. We thank Him for another successful summer VBS!

simplychele and the kids!
