Psalm 95:6

Last week the Bible verse for the little kids to learn was Psalm 95:6 “Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD our Maker!”

It was suggested that we teach it to them as a song to the tune of  ‘are you sleeping?’

Last night about an hour after we put Nadia to sleep we suddenly heard singing over the monitor.

“Come and let us,

bow down,

in worship,

in worship,

let us kneel before,

the Lord our Maker,

Amen,

Amen.”

It brought me to tears to hear her sweet little voice singing that over and over. Life is good and I am blessed beyond belief.

Vacation Bible School this year was Space Themed and what an awesome job the entire church did to give the kids from our church and surrounding neighborhood a great week. Nadia was able to be in a regular class this year instead of being in the nursery while I volunteered. The women from our Mom’s group each took a day teaching them. I took Monday and spent the rest of the week doing the fundraising and mission moments for the children. I did everything from make runs to the store if we were out of stuff to getting all the kids photos matched up to the homemade frames they decorated.

Each day a different astronaut came in to tell the children the Bible story. One of the kids mentioned Buzz Lightyear and he said, “I know Buzz, I have met him and I am a better astronaut.” Nadia turned to me and said, “I am not having ANY of that!”

Nadia was going “beep beep beep” (The people in our church are so talented to paint all of this stuff!)

Today when I went to visit Nadia’s class the kids swarmed me to show the snap bracelets they had made. They are so sweet. So I had them pose for a photo.

Three years ago we saw this photo for the first time and it took my breath away.

I took these photos today of Nadia just being the happy girl that she is and I once again thank God for the wonderful life He has given me.
